somewhere to camp after arriving at calais

ThatGuyOnABike

i saw someone else did this with heathrow so thought i'd give it a try. i need a campsite not far from Calais port preferably to the north. as close as possible, max 30-40km cos my group would've already traveled a bit and probably got tired on the ferry. plus it may be getting on a bit if we take an afternoon ferry.
any help welcome, and i'm interested in your personal experiences of camping in and around Calais.

Nice campsite (it was a few years ago anyway) at Guines a few miles inland. Not stayed there but I understand Merck (something like that, anyway) a few miles up the coast from Calais has a nice site too.

Michelin's camping guide (possibly online by now) is a good guide to French sites and if sites drop out, it's for a good reason. You can see places with a campsite in the guide on the ViaMichelin site's maps.

Try Sangatte

wow never knew about viamichelin, that was really useful, though not for finding campsites but for locating the campsites i've found so i can accuratly mark them on my michelin map.

Try WWW.calvados-tourisme.com looks good for campers

Guines is a anice friendly site. I used it last year. The owners son bought me a beer.
