When we used to use Calais we always did our last night at La Bien Assise which is about 15 minutes from the port and a very nice site.

We over-nighted last year at Camping aux Cygnes, at Blangy sur Bresle. It is about 500 yds from exit 5 on the A28. It is listed on UKCS as Camping aux Cygnes D`Opale, and I put a review on here last year if you want to see my thoughts, it was good by the way.

If you are looking for a stop between Le Mans and Rouen, the municipal at Argentan, Camping de la Noue, takes some beating. It is probably the best looked after site I have ever used, next to a lovely public park and walkable into town. There is nothing to fault it.

Are you looking for stopovers at a particular distance or just so that you can see something new?
The Loire might be a good place to visit. We've stopped at Le Moulin Fort near Chenonceau which is run by Brits. Despite that (!) it's lovely. You could visit some of the chateaux and the ZooParc de Beauval near there is awesome. Even for a 16 year old.
No idea about places near Calais - we normally treat ourselves to a night in a hotel and pray the kit in the car will be ok overnight. We've been very lucky so far. Having said that one of them - Hotel Bal at Tournehem sur la Hem has a campsite with overnight pitches. It's about 5 minutes off junction 2 of the A26. Within a few miles of there is the Blokhaus d'Eperleques which is well worth a visit.

We usually stop over at Camping Haliotis in Pontorson, but sounds like you want something a bit nearer to Calais
