Not all that many sites near the coast, open at that time of year, but you could try the Bienvenue a la Ferme website, which has farms with camping (down the left side select Accommodation, then Camping.
Otherwise, but inland try La Chaumiere
or
Les Piloteries
but the second doesn't appear to open until mid-April. Lots of French sites have much shorter seasons than here and at the beginning of season you might find yourselves quite lonely!
On the other hand you could use Camping Cheques (www.campingcheque.co.uk) and find a more popular (but still quiet at night) site, such as Chateau du Gandspette for £13.95 for a pitch for two adults, car and tent (or caravan), awning and electricity. It has super facilities, no entertainment, but a small bar and restaurant, a boulangerie visits daily, and it's near some WW2 sites such as Le Blockhaus at Eperlecques, or La Coupole at St Omer. Sill using Camping Cheques you could go a little further into Picardy, towards Baie de Somme at one of the sites with an indoor pool such as Ferme des Aulnes or Val d'Authie. Again, likely to be quiet, but at least have some company at that time of year.
Or as SGThomas mentions below (edited in later), have a look at the ACSI card website (www.campingcard.co.uk) for a further selection of sites in that area. Just a warning, also edited in later, though, that it could still be very cold in northern France at that time of year, in a tent. We were freezing, once, in a tent at the beginning of May with a really hard frost on the ground.
