Eurotunnel campsites

[Dave Potts]

Hi

We are travelling to France in the summer. Any recommendations of a campsite at Folkestone the night before getting on the eurotunnel or better to go to Calais and stay before driving through France?

We always stay here before the tunnel https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/club-sites/england/south-east-england/kent/bearsted-caravan-club-site/

It has a dedicated tunnel section so not to disturb the other campers if you leave early.

Excellent!! Thanks for the reply

Where you going in France?
I have a few cracking places if you struggle.

Gonna watch a few stages of Tour de France so heading to the south..maybe carcasonne, Luchon, Pau, Biarritz. It’s not all decided yet but we definitely going to Luchon and Biarritz and I want to go to col du tourmalet

I went to Biarritz a few years ago. It's an amazing place with some great surfing to watch.

We are heading to France this summer as well, slightly different route though, we will be getting the ferry to Santander and then spending three weeks driving back.
The only campsite we have booked is in Saint Malo in the north west, so any recommendations by the sea would be gratefully received!

This place is absolutely stunning. Domaine de Massereau
It's rustic, with an amazing restaurant, and the town is only a 5 min bike ride away. The local town has everything you could want in a beautiful setting, and very traditional.
The bonus if you're into your bikes is there's a tarmac disused rail track next to the site, which is silky smooth and stretches for miles.

We have already booked this place in the summer again, followed by another trip into Switzerland.
