Overnight in Calais and Folkestone

[keith_5040827]

I cannot find e reference I once read about parking overnight in the eurotunnel terminal as eurotunnel say there is nowhere to park up. Failing that does anybody know of a nearby site where one can leave at unearthly hours (0430). Also, similar for the Folkestone end.

We have booked in at Hawthorn Farm which is just above Dover and not to far from Folkestone, ideal for early morning starts

Hi Keith

In Calais, the terminals are all close together, including the Tunnel. There is free (imagine that in the UK!)overnight parking, which we used last year without incident. Its fine for a late arrival but you wouldn't want to stay all day..

There is an excellent handy local map of Calais done by Blay Foldex, try this link

We have used Folkestome Racecourse (CC site) - we left last year soon after 6 am and we weren't the first as others had left in the middle of the night. They keep a special section for early departures and folk stay hitched up to minimise noise & aggro. What's more, as we arrived sometime around 8 pm, they only charged half the o'night fee!
