We used Camping Etaing Du Brochet to visit Péronne, it is very well located for exploring the town (of which more later). The campsite is a municipal site under new management. The manager, Nicolas, is very helpful and friendly (also speaks English).
The pitches are spacious, some separated by small hedges and a few have good shade. There are about 6 with hard standing for campervans. There are plenty of modern electric hookup points. There are good spaces for caravans and tents also.
The toilet block has 2 showers (at no extra charge), there are sinks with hot water and toilets with seats. No paper or soap is provided. The toilet block is clean and tidy, but old fashioned.
The drinking water taps are at the toilet block where there is also a chemical toilet disposal point.
Outside the gates of the site is a motorhome service point, which is free to dump grey water.
Turn right out of the gate and it is about 800 metres walk to the museum of the Battle of The Somme (the Tourist Information Centre is opposite the museum, with information and maps of marked walking routes around Péronne).
It is half that distance to the town centre with bakeries, cafés and restaurants. Also within easy walking distance is an old family brewery (Brasserie De Clerck), with reasonably priced beers for sale.
We were pleased to find, also within close walking distance, a veterinaire,...We used Camping Etaing Du Brochet to visit Péronne, it is very well located for exploring the town (of which more later).

We were pleased to find, also within close walking distance, a veterinaire, with English spoken and able to treat our dog for the Pet Passport, prior to crossing back to the UK.
There is a sheltered area with picnic tables near the campsite office, which is also handy for the free wifi point (password given on check-in).More
