A countryside naturism
L'Eden Avesnois is an association run naturist campsite set right in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional de l'Avesnois, in Boulogne-sur-Helpe. The site opened on 1 March 2004, after four years of preparation led by the association that still runs it today.
Affiliated with the Fédération Française de Naturisme since 1997, the place is aimed at families and members looking for a quiet kind of naturism, far from the bustle. The view over the surrounding countryside comes up often in visitor feedback, as does the calm of the site.
Pitches and accommodation
The campsite welcomes tents and caravans on pitches described as very spacious, leaving plenty of room between campers. Showers and toilets are on site for those camping outdoors.
Access is reserved for campsite guests, in keeping with the associative spirit of the place: you come as a member or as a visitor hosted by the association, not as a mere passer by.
Aquadétente: sauna, hammam, jacuzzi
The Aquadétente centre is the heart of the site's comfort: sauna, hammam and jacuzzi are on offer for relaxing after a day in the open air. A heated outdoor pool rounds out the offering, a welcome touch even when temperatures aren't quite summery yet.
These wellness facilities go beyond what you'd expect from an ordinary campsite, which partly explains why some members keep coming back season after season.
What regulars say
Reviews highlight the natural acceptance of naturism on site, the respect between campers and the quality of the surroundings. The family atmosphere is regularly mentioned as a strong point.
On the other hand, several visitors note that the bar isn't always open and that the sanitary facilities could use a renovation. The services remain those of a small association run campsite, not a hotel establishment.
Good to know
The centre operates as an association, which explains opening hours that vary depending on the season and volunteer activity. Contact is made by phone or email directly with the association, using the details shown on the guide.
