Stopped at this ACSI site as very near Calais, has a bar restaurant although we only had a drink.  The facilities toilets showers etc  are among the best and cleanest ever seen.

Arrived evening at Fidjcamping, open but no one around fgolowed the insturctyiomn outside offoce and found a spot with the 2nd most powerful water point.  Site appears to be undergoing some renovation.
Pleasant spot would use again bit tight to negotiate the on site road and pitches but once on hardstanding and most facilities, proper MH service point.

The previous evening we had picked out sites and Aires in Blaye, Montendre and
around St Emillion. We managed to leave at 11:00 a record on this holiday, the
MH facilities at L’Ocean very good almost as good as Mammers.
[geo_mashup_map height=”200″ width=”500″ zoom=”11″ add_overview_control=”false” add_map_type_control=”false”]
MH facilities at Rouge Gorge crap, just rubbish, everything is there but rundown
and rubbish, compared to Aires and other sites even UK is better.
ACSI site chosen we set off ignored the Route barree in 5.5 km as we were
turning off in 5.5 km but as we discovered their 5.5km was less than our and we
could not get to the turning. After a longish detour we set off via tolls to
the Coast, it was warming up nicely the cab aircon now being a necessity rather
than a toy.
