Camping Zeepark - on the beach, absolutely awful.Now that we set off from Scunthorpe to go to the tunnel it
makes our outbound day quite a long one. We were up at 6.30am, Tescos for 7am,
McDs breakfast at 7.30am, at the storage site for 8am as it opened and fully loaded
and off by 8.45am. Even though we’d booked the tunnel for 3.20pm giving
ourselves extra time, we still only made it with 30 mins to spare. No problems
at the tunnel this time so we were on schedule in France for the next phase of
our busy day. Our fist stop was Cite Europe for fuel (we were quite low!!!),
Carrefour for wine (we didn’t bring any this time) and then to Adinkerke in
Belgium for tobacco supplies. The final stop of the day was De Panne and
Camping Zeepark, the one right on the beach. We’ve tried to camp there before
but it’s always been full, well we certainly won’t be trying again. The
campsite was foul in every way but particularly the facilities. At 10pm we got
some kind of musical fanfare for 10 mins and then at 11pm a huge firework display
that lasted at least half an hour and then for hours and hours people coming
back rather merry. The weather didn’t help as it threw it down overnight and we
were parked on sand!!!
The only saving grace was the nice walk along the promenade
and a visit to our favourite Frituur for Frikendel (plain for Mark and full of
crap for Penny) and chips eating them sat on a wall in the square watching the
fountain.
