What it’s really like

This is one of Eurocamp’s best-known sites, and for families wanting a busy, activity-packed holiday within easy reach of the UK, it’s easy to understand why. Located in northern France, it’s popular because you can drive there fairly quickly from Calais, and it also works well for trips to Paris or Disneyland Paris. That convenience alone makes it a huge draw for British families.

The biggest selling point is the sheer amount to do on site. There are multiple pools, indoor and outdoor swimming areas, lakes, watersports, playgrounds, sports courts, mini golf, entertainment and plenty of child-focused activities. If you have energetic children who get bored easily, this place is excellent. Many families say you could stay a week and still not try everything.

That said, it isn’t perfect. Because it’s so popular, it can feel busy and crowded in peak season. Sunbeds, pool space and some activities may involve queues, especially during school holidays. If you prefer peaceful, small campsites with a relaxed atmosphere, this may feel too hectic. Some independent reviews also mention that certain older facilities can feel dated compared with newer premium resorts.

Accommodation quality often depends on what you book. Premium mobile homes and lodges tend to be modern and comfortable, while older units may feel more basic. Choosing the right accommodation here makes a big difference.

Our honest verdict: La Croix du Vieux Pont is one of the best Eurocamp choices for families with younger children who want loads to do and easy travel from the UK. It’s less ideal for couples or anyone wanting tranquility. If you want fun, convenience and nonstop entertainment, it’s a very strong option.
