Great location for a city campsite, close to Laon but peaceful and great if you are into fishing. Pool is small but relatively quiet. Amenities are reasonably good, pitches are by selection. We stopped here for 2 nights on the way back to Calais, glad we did!

The toilets were clean and seemed quite new, the only issue was that there wasn\'t any soap to wash your hands and you had to provide your own toilet paper. The site is good but the lighting once it is dark was non existent making it feel unsafe as a result.
The Pool was lovely except on the Friday there were a very large group of teenage boys who were around 17-18yrs who dominated the pool making it an unfriendly environment for women to swim, this should have been monitored. We would stay again but only as an overnight stop.

In previous years we have never pre booked this camp when going from or returning to the UK. However travelling south this year (2018) in early May we were fortunate to get a pitch, due to a huge Classic Car Show just yards from the camp which attracts owners/visitors from all over Europe. Hence if considering La Chenaie you might want to consider this yearly event. Returning in late June was no problem at all.
Ideal stopover camp, though this year we stayed an extra night and visited the Old Town, walkable from site but uphill going and it’s a steep climb, but worth the visit.
Very friendly and helpful staff spoke good English.
What you get is a large (some huge) grass or sandy pitch, some shaded others not. Decent WC’s and showers and a swimming pool, ideal after a long journey. Generally you get peace and quiet though sometimes a nearby shooting range creates a fair bit of noise, mainly in the late morning.
There is a large, fenced off lake adjacent entry via a gate, not sure re fishing but saw locals there.
Well worth trying is the bread and pain aux raisins, which can be ordered on site, absolutely top notch. Recommend the site.
