Camping le Clairmarais, Riverside campground in Clairmarais, France
Camping le Clairmarais is a riverside campground that covers 3 hectares with 137 camping spots, comprising 105 permanent pitches, 18 rental accommodations, and 10 temporary spaces positioned near water channels. The site offers electrical hookups, sanitary facilities, and a covered swimming pool while providing direct access to the waterways of the Audomarois Marshes.
The campground sits within the Audomarois Marshes, a network of roughly 700 kilometers of waterways originally developed by medieval monks for farming purposes across northern France. This engineered landscape took shape during the Middle Ages as monks systematically dug and channeled water to transform the swampy terrain into productive agricultural land.
Local vegetable growers use traditional flat-bottomed boats called escutes to navigate the adjacent waterways, maintaining centuries-old farming customs that shape daily life in this marshland community.
The site is open from 13:00 to 19:30 daily and maintains essential facilities including electrical hookups and sanitary accommodations for guests. From here you can easily access the canal system and watch the traditional boats that local farmers use throughout the day.
Guests can fish directly from their camping spots along the connected canal network, where pike and carp move through the waterways of the Audomarois Marshes. This immediate access to fishing right at your site makes it a simple and everyday experience rather than a special excursion.
