Hi Keith
There's the 'aire' at Calais alongside the ferry terminal - but means driving into Calais to get to it -

- or as it's on the way to Belgium - the Auchan car park at Dunkerque -

- I've used both.
The 'aire' at Calais is supposed to be 6 euro per night, but I've just come back from a visit and parked there twice (out and home) and not been charged.
There's a height barrier at the Dunkerque Auchan - ignore it, it's only on the 'in' side of the road - drive on the 'wrong' side and bypass it. It's also a handy place to get your bits and pieces and fuel up in the morning.
Have fun and enjoy yourself.

Hello Keith, when you get off the ferry on the French side you will pass a huge car park on your left (it is where the ticket portacabins are) turn in and park up...you will see a lot of other motorhome/campervans doing the same thing. There are plenty of spaces, very secure, and ideal for a short stop-over, it is patrolled 24 hrs a day. We stay here every time time we go to France. Enjoy your holiday.

I spent a night at the Calais site at the end of November and was,nt charged for it, was told by another motorhomer that they only come round and charge when it,s in season. You can still empty your waste and tiolet there and take on water but the tiolets and showers are closed up. Only a 10 minute stroll into Calais itself plenty of places to eat and drink there......
Cheers Mark
