We are traveling to France in a few weeks with our 6 year old grandson. Only there for 6 days so wont be traveling far. We are planning a few days around Fort Mahon / Le Crotoy, and will use the Aires. But we could do with a nice camp site within 2 / 3 hour drive of Calais. We dont want all singing and dancing but just enough to entertain a 6 year old.
A kids play area and somewhere to ride a bike.

La Chaumiere

We stopped off at this little site last time we came through Calais. It is in the middle of nowhere(small village with tavern), but has a pool and simple games for kids. Proprietors very nice and send xmas cards. See www.campinglachaumiere.com
Easy run to Calais - without hitting built up areas - but traffic can silt up early morning on freeway as you near Calais.

This is a site we stayed at for a couple of nights last week near le crotoy. Lovely site with very help staff.

www.camping-lechampneuf.com

Indoor pool with slides if the weather turns, play area and also free wi-fi around the bar and food area.

Also one of the few sites I have come across where you are not forced to pay for hook up even if you don't want it.

We stayed at Le Ferme de Mayocq in Le Crotoy last year. A small quiet site with kids play area and quiet roads. Bread van comes every morning.
Here's a few more in the area

Hey! if you are staying on the aire at Le Crotoy (pronounced Crot-wah LOL) which I love, there's a petit train (ie narrow gauge steam train) that goes from Le C round to St Valery sur Somme on the opposite side of the estuary.

The station at Le C is in the street where the water tower is and you can see the top of that above the trees on one side of the aire (the 'port' aire, not the beach one this is) so it's about a 10 minute walk. If that.

Great fun for children and adults and St V is a jolly town with quite a bit more going on than Le C, but walking to the aire at St V is out of town up a hill like the north face of the Eiger .... think you can drive to it on a different road which isn't as steep but a lot further. So we stay at Le C.

There's also a bike path all the way to St V. (It seems to go most of the way along the D940 from Boulogne, actually !)
