Hi - just booked our first 'with dog' expedition to France - via Dunkirk. We will be arriving after 10pm on the first night - would either of these campsites be open that late? Otherwise, we may just layby it in the camper.

Also - what is the score on vets in Dunkirk? We are ferrying back early Sunday at 8am - suppose we would have to get him de-fleaed etc on the Friday? Would a vet do it at 8am on a Saturday...? Would probably cost an arm and a leg.

Would appreciate any advice.

This vet in Calais was recommended by someone we met on site last week. They said his prices were reasonable

Last year while staying at Gandspette prior to returning home we came across Camping Le Val Joly at Watten, just down the road from Gandspette and thought it very pleasant. Although it has a lot of permanent vans there is a tourer area by the entrance with flat grassy pitches, the facilities block was not as modern as Gandspette but clean and perfectly acceptable, and it was quiet and peaceful with a very friendly and helpful manager/owner. It is next to a park/sports ground, only a few minutes walk to shops and restaurants in the town and about the same distance as Gandspette from the Intermarche supermarket. We decided we will be giving this site a try next time we use the Dunkerque crossing as it looks fine for a night or two.
