Just like most others that go to Europe, we will be stopping in Calais overnight before moving off. Because of our RV size and the fact that we will be arriving in the dark, we are obviously a bit concerned about where to go and where we will be stopping. Is the parking area in the harbour very well signposted? Or is it more advisable to drive to the Aire for the night? If that is the case, is it reasonably easy to get to?
Sorry about all the questions - I know that have all been asked bedore!!!!

I have found the motorhome parking on the south side of the harbour to be very crowded and often noisy.
You might be better trying the 'Aire de deux caps', about 10 miles south in the direction of Rouen.

Sharon, why not take the exit road from the port, at the end go around the r/about and back onto the port and into the "SANS BILLET" lane and park there, its nice and safe and patrolled as well also lots of space.

Bob,
We have stayed there but only on a Saturday night and it was very quiet.
I plan to overnight there on Saturday the 5th January if all goes well.

Don, we will be there 3rd Jan heading for Morocco eventually after a few days visiting friends around Limoges and collecting a fellow traveller who has never been out of France in their m/h, should be interesting.
i was there 2 weeks ago. The signs are well in advance. Its a white sign withn "camping cars" on. plenty room for big MHs just take up 2 spaces. costs 6.50/night but no meter. collected as and when they feel like it. My mate went last wek and stayed 2 nights and didnt pay.

Hi Sharon the dockside aire to the south of the port, will be awkward for you to maneuver a 35' RV if its crowded, we were there in October and it was fairly full then. Ours is only 30'
You park very close to each other and need to reverse nearly your full length before you can swing the front, and with motorhomes behind you that might be difficult. The one Don is suggesting sounds better.

I would be inclined to head on down to St Martin, Boulogne and overnight on the Auchan hypermarket car park. Plenty of room there for the biggest of RVs and it is quiet and safe.
