Not long back from a great Eurocamp holiday with a baby and 3 year old. Campsite was lovely, our pitch had shade and sun all day, so great for the kids. Campsite was a bit hilly, so not great for cycling round with a child on the bike, but good fun. Campsite was nearly full, but didn't feel crowded. Able to hire bikes and ponies to ride round site for reasonable price. Restaurant was OK - good for kids, with some small toys provided. Whole of France seems to think that kids only eat chips though, so kids menus not that great.
Courirers on site were helpful, despite some problems with our mobile home on first night. Ours was an older model - Monet - and quite small if weather hadn't been great. Boiler broke, but they moved us to a bigger and better caravan for the night and it was fixed next day to move back into. Were unable to stay in other caravan, since it was booked for later in the week.
Given travel cot for baby - free to hire. However,had to go in living area and blocked all passage between bedrooms, so used cot sides provided on a bed. Bit high, so difficult to ut baby in without dropping them - we are 5 foot 7.
With hindsight, difference between basic and better spec caravans woth more space is not much, so will definitely not be so tight next year and will get a better one.
Also, Keycamp and Eurocamp couriers work together -- kids club is same one and couriers boss was same person for both companies. Worth checking out both brochures and pricing up before booking. With toddlers, you can often get discounts for KEycamp through Bounty packs etc. Eurocamphave a loyalty discount for those who have been before.
Overall, good holiday and good campsite - lots to do in surrounding area and only an hour by motorway from Calais, so great for kids who get bored in cars!

Hi - good stuff here but some more info on prices and the campsite etc might have been helpful. Eurocamp own Keycamp and a few others besides so your tip on checking out the brochures is spot on. How do I know? - I was one of those reps for a few seasons down in the South of France.
