Hello, we will be returning home from France end of June and thinking of using Camping Le Grand Gravlot at Calais. ( all reviews but one seem to be good ) Very close to the port and maybe a 10 minute drive through Calais town to get there.

We have a 9.05am ferry booked and we know generally they say to allow  2 hours to check in before departure during high season. However, maybe 60 mins other times.  The gate barrier at Camping Le Grand Gravlot is opened at 7am.  Given it is June and not school holidays do you think say 90 mins checkin before departure will be okay ? 

Also if anyone has stayed there are directions to the port fairly good from this site?

Ray.  We have stayed at Saint Louis a number of time fine for an overnight stop and only a short distance from Calais; it is an ACSI site - 876 at 19€.  In the same area are Camping La Bien Assise at Guines (ACSI 880 at 27€) and Camping Pommiers des trois Pays at Licques (ACSI 882 at 21€).  Both have good restaurants on site.  We have used both sites in the past few years and they are good. Suggest you phone ahead to check availability as they are popular with folks heading to or from the port.  Both about 30 mins from the port.
