Going on our first trip to France in Sept. Any advice on last stop near/in Calais before home and is there WiFi available over there and is it free at all.


Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!

If you've got Camping Cheques, then spend your last night at Chateau du Gandspette, which is about half an hour from the port, has a nice little bar and restaurant, and good sanitary facilities.  With a Camping Cheque it will cost you just £13.95 per night for a pitch, two adults, car and caravan. 

Some French campsites have free WiFi, some you have to pay for, some is site-wide, and some only around the reception or bar areas.  At Gandspette there is an extra charge for WiFi.

You can get free WiFi (well for the price of a coffee) in McDonalds, there is often free WiFi in supermarket cafeterias if you are eating there, and in some of the Hypermarket malls.  If you see people sitting around with laptops you'll know it's likely to be free.  Some tourist information offices have free WiFi and some out of the way little 'Community Cafe's'.

Just to add to Val's excellent advice, you can sometimes pick up McDonald's Wi-Fi from their car park, so you don't even have to buy the coffee.
