from 7 reviews Write review

Camping Le Vélodrome lies on the outskirts of Albert, in the north of France in the department Somme. Albert is a town with a turbulent past. During the First World War, it was situated in or near the frontline for a long time. Many military cemeteries and monuments in and around Albert still remind one of that period. Due in part to the major British involvement in the aforementioned war, Albert is still often visited by British tourists and historians. Many of them choose Camping Le Vélodrome as a place to stay, although it is usual for this internationally oriented campsite to be visited by campsite visitors of all nationalities. It is a fairly simple campsite with few amenities.

Park-like site with various accommodation options

Camping Le Vélodrome has beautifully designed grounds with many small-scale camping fields. The touring pitches at this park-like campsite are spacious and are neatly separated as well. Other possible overnight accommodations: a modern mobile home, a charming caravan or a cosy Coco Sweet tent. The accommodations were new when installed in 2018 and are still in very good shape. A sanitary block for general use is at the centre of the campsite. The toilet facilities are somewhat dated.

Ideal location with respect to supermarkets and restaurants

The location on the outskirts of the town gives the added advantage that shops and catering establishments are nearby. There are several large supermarkets within a radius of one kilometre around the campsite. Going out for to a tasty snack and drink is easily done in the town centre. The walk there takes only 15 minutes.

No hot water in the shower block, building work going on, a lot of pitches no electric, they were obviously not ready to open in April, but still took full payment for pitch and facilities.
