Well without looking at a map, I would say just come out of Calais onto the A26 autoroute until you get to the N4 junction sth of Chalons-en Champagne-go to St Dizer then N67 to Joinville & your just about there. all you need is a map, not a satnav---

 That's the way we went two years ago.  It's relatively easy to find the site is well sign posted though if you come at it from  the south the angle is not so good if your towing but coming from St Diz your fine.  It's a great site we stayed for 10 nights and had a brilliant time, we've reviewed the site here. You'll have a great time.

As long as you can find your way to the vicinity using a basic map then the majority of sites are well sign posted from the outskirts.

Just a word of warning on the site. When we were there the site entrance was a bit tight with brick pillars either side. It's on the right hand side and so are you. So it pays to slow down and swing wide when safe.This gives you more room.

I thought the site excellent but the area a little lacking for a lengthy stay.

We found our european tomtom invaluable last year. As well as getting us to the site it flagged up nearest supermarkets, carparks etc for going on day trips. Completely took away all the hassle of worrying about being in the wrong lane at major junctions and for getting out of the docks.
