Any advice on stops near Calais for early ferry. Forcing ourselves back to UK !! Need to see grand kids before they grow up

Normally stop at Dunkirk ferry car park for early ferry but should we end up taking one from Calais advice needed!! Last time ( many years ago ) we stopped in the car park there but boy was it noisy !! :Sad:

You could always park an the Dunkerque ferry car park and just drive to Calais in the morning...

Cite Europe would be my choice, there is parking specifically for motorhomes on Boulevard du Kent next to the police station:

Cite Europe. Or the aire at Wissant (free) and quiet...:thumb:

There's an Aire on Digue Gaston Berthe (Google Maps 50.966617,1.844137) overlooking the port entrance, it's interesting but you get the overnight noise of the ferry engines. Your SatNav (if you have one) may decline the location as it's detached from the road. It's behind the Municipal Camping on the Ave Raymond Poincare, and is run by them.

There's another Aire (also run by the Municipal Camping) a little further back from the seafront overlooking the west dock where the sailing boats moor up - the view's not as interesting but it's quieter. The entrance is off the Bd de la Resistance at 50.960109,1.844577, however this parking area sometimes gets taken over by a fun fair around this time of the year.

Others have mentioned alternative three which is Cite Europe's MH parking.

If you want to get on the boat quickly in the morning, why not just park at the ticket office. Loads of MHs there.

I think Calais ticket office have started charging now, Feb 2013, specific parking areas according to how long one is staying, but needs checking out .

head for Bleriot plage past water tower on roundabout on left, carry on sand dunes/sea on right Radar station and beach huts good parking unmade road, have always used this as found Calais docks too noisy. couple of miles only.
