Your camping holidays in Picardy, Hauts de France

During your camping holidays in the Hauts-de-France (fusion of Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Picardy regions), explore the vast arrays of La Manche beaches, stunning scenery in the Baie de Somme and Côte d'Opale, peaceful Picardy hinterland, vibrant culture in the Amiens area and the mining legacy of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais. This is an honest and homely destination for campers who want to explore new horizons with the many new experiences that the Hauts-de-France have to offer visitors.

Seaside or nature? Explore the Maritime Picardy coast and the Nord-Pas-de-Calais hills!

On the Hauts-de-France coast and around Le Walric campsite, you will experience utterly beautiful landscapes around the Baie de Somme, Parc du Marquenterre, Baie de la Canche and Baie de l'Authie. You'll love getting away from the hustle and bustle or making the most of your camping holidays in the Hauts-de-France to try your hand at land sailing, kite-surfing, stand-up paddling, sailing, fishing or sea kayaking on endless fine sand beaches. Further north, the Côte d'Opale is also a voyage of discovery especially around the Cap Blanc-Nez and Cap Gris-Nez or the Dunes de Flandre. During your stay be sure to deepen your knowledge of the ocean with a visit to Nausicaa, the national sealife centre and Europe's biggest aquarium in Boulogne-sur-Mer.

Your camping holiday is packed full of surprises back on dry land. The Hauts-de-France is home to four nature parks and countless green spaces with a wide array of outdoor activities. Explore the Flandre, Artois and La Thiérache plains, Scarpe-Escaut Regional Nature Park, Opale Capes and Marshes, Oise-Pays de France and L'Avesnois Regional Nature Parks…hiking and cycling fans will love it! Camping in the Hauts-de-France means exploring the Hortillonnages floating gardens in Amiens within 65km of canals, wandering in the Compiègne or Crécy forests, exploring the Boves grottoes and caves in Arras, sailing through the Saint-Omer Marsh on board a “bacôve” (traditional wooden boat) and so much more.
