We wanted to stop close to Calais but not too close so we stayed at Leubringhen (FP 2016 page 353)
Pros
Only 20 mins from Chunnel registration
Leave A16 at jct 36 and you pass an Intermarche, handy for diesel etc
Only 10km from A16, no stupidly narrow country roads to get to farm
No charge for parking
The farm produces own ice-cream (fabulous) but no hard sell
Mme is very helpful and speaks English
Probably too far from the jungle to suffer any probs
Cons
It is a dairy farm so, until you become nose blind (quite quickly), has an all-pervading odour of cow merde
The cows are noisy sleepers
Milking starts at 0600
Mme wants to practice her English not your French
The ice cream is fabulous and seriously more-ish
Overall once you have paid yr annual sub it is free and there is very little that you can get that is free these days.
