Hi,

I have found two municipal sites near Calais for our overnight stop on the way home from Italy:

Camp Municipal, Calais 62100

or

Camp Municipal De La Plage, Grand Fort Philippe, 59153

Which is best?  We are travelling through the tunnel.

Any comments or other suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

We tend to use either Chateau de Gandspette at Eperlecques or Le Bien Assise at Guines depending whether we are coming from the east or the west but they are both commercial sites. Both are within easy reach of the Tunnel or the ferries. The Municipal at Calais which is by the Port (which you can see from the ferry) always seems to look very crowded. Have no knowledge of the Grand Fort Phillippe site.

Thanks everyone.  I had already looked at Chateau du Gandspette, but thought a site a bit nearer the tunnel might be woth a try. 

Back to plan 'A'.  Looks like it will be worth the extra euros.

Cheers.

Did you try your UK credit card in the toll machine, Val A?  In my experience, they work OK.  (I think it's only UK CREDIT cards though, not debit cards.)
