A site very close to Calais which I've used more than a few times is http://www.lesepinettes.fr/emplacements/http://www.lesepinettes.fr/emplacements/
It's about ten miles from the ferry port and situated down a lane in the village of Peuplingues. If the reception is closed, just drive in, find a pitch which are divided by hedges, and visit the office or the house in the morning. Two people, with electricity will cost you €20..

Why not join ACSI which offers discounted sites all across Europe including the UK? You can see on a map the location of all the sites. Our satnav has the POI for nearly every site in the EU and there are thousands.

We stay at Chateau du Gandspette in Eperlecques about 20 minutes from Calais.

We used to use that site outbound and inbound. The old WW2 rocket factory in its huge bunkers was really worth a visit. We travelled via Dunkerque and it made a relaxing stopover both ways. Nice eateries locally too.

I would suggest to the OP that if he is heading East he finds somewhere well inland as the coast and some short distance inland is overloaded with would-be immigrants to the UK. If he has the time to get there before dark the Gent Municipal at Blaarmeersen is worth a short stay as Gent is well worth a visit and the bus stop into town is about 100m outside the gate. The site has a take-away Bistro, Restaurant, and a drying room for texts/awnings and a small but well stocked shop.

I forgot about that, nice site and very accommodating if you are arriving or leaving early. and I remember having a nice meal. But that must have been 15 years ago, so who knows?
