Anybody any experience of Camping de l'Ill at Colmar?

[PlacidoD]

I am planning my annual September trip to Switzerland and the Italian Lakes.

I am thinking of travelling down to get the Dover-Dunkirk ferry on 2nd September and then to overnight somewhere near Dunkirk followed by French/Belgian/Luxembourg motorways before dropping down to Colmar through Les Vosges du Sud on 3rd September.

Camping de l'Ill - Colmar - Stay in the heart of Alsace

This 5-hectare campsite on the banks of the Ill river is the ideal starting point to discover Colmar and the Alsace region at any time of the year.

I am thinking of spending two night there before heading off to visit family in Switzerland for the weekend. Looks OK for a couple of nights - riverside location, 2km from Colmar centre via a cycle path - an on site cafe for the first night after a long days travel etc, etc.

Anywhere else people suggest I might stay which ticks all those boxes?

P.S. Suggestion for an Aire or campsite near Dunkirk also appreciated. I am likely to be on the 16:00 or 18:00 out of Dover arriving 18:00 or 20:00 so somewhere quite near preferably with a nearby eatery!! I have no experience of travelling via this ferry. (I am very used to the Aire within spitting distance of the Dieppe ferry terminal so something like that would do nicely!)

TIA for your answers!!

We are planning similar route to Switzerland. We plan to stay at Camping Verdun (?) at Neuf Brisach 15 k east Colmar. Large supermarket next to the site and very interesting town in walking distance of site. Easy drive to German autoroute and on to Switzerland.

Nicer sites at Turkheim, Eguisheim and Munster which are close enough to your route.

First nights got to be Gravlines, surely.

We stayed at the Aire in Munster (France) it’s just behind the train station so ideal for train to Colmar.

We did a similar route.
For you, Bolton via Kettering to Harwich - (260 miles)
Overnight on the ferry to Hoek of Holland
Dortmund, Frankfurt, Heidelberg (350miles)
Stop in Heidelberg (we did two nights)

Rather than carry on to down to Colmar and Switzerland we turned right via Constance and into Austria and the Italian lakes area.
Much the same distance and via Switzerland
(We also kept to the toll free German Autobahns)
