At the services about one mile before. It's free on weekends (well not technically, but I'm told the person collecting the money doesn't work weekends). You have to pay if staying overnight on a weeknight.

Hi all,
I'm looking to book the eurotunnel for early Feb and I want to depart as early as possible.
To save on the very early morning drive to Folkestone, is there any free overnight parking available that I can do the night before?
We stayed at the services in September - head around the side, so that you are between the building and the motorway (think it was reserved for buses - well we are not a car!). This is before you get to the paid sections for MH. We stayed for free - along with 1/2doz others. Sorted.
We always use Military Rd in Hythe.
Traffic can be a bit noisy cause it's a main rd, but it quietens down a lot later in the evening.
A few good "chippies" in town for supper if you wish (5mins walk), supermarket on the road itself, across canal bridge (1 min walk), we use the toilets there in the morning (buy a loaf or something as a thank you!), also a garage for fuel.
Never had a problem, always been safe and unthreatened. If you have a bit more time, a walk down the canal is lovely, also near Hythe & Dymchurch railway, (little trains)
Sorry, no co-ords, but check out with google maps.

If not free, something reasonably priced....
Thank you

Tel,
Rather than park why not catch a late evening or night train and park up in France?
I catch a train normally between 10pm and midnight. Ray
I am with Ray on this, the Bus parking outside of Carrefore is excellent.

Why use the Bus parking when there is specific Camping Car parking in the next bay?
I agree that going over late at night and sleeping at Cite Europe is the best way. Safe, secure, and already on the right side of the channel for an early getaway.

We stayed on Military road same as Ken, no problems overnight. A little noisey at times but we just had a little 11pm to 7am kip after driving down from Goole.
