Camping le Moulin des Prés, Riverside campground in Maroilles, France

The site offers around 65 pitches across roughly 1.4 hectares, with separate areas for tents and caravans, along with facilities like washing stations and recreation areas.
The site takes its name from a historic water mill that once operated along the Helpe mineure to grind grain. Though the mill no longer functions, the river remains as a reminder of this industrial past.
