I don't know about the port itself - it's years since we went via Boulogne - but you could stay overnight at the Aire Des Deux Caps, on the autoroute between Calais and Boulogne, or if you're heading the other way, the Aire de la Baie de Somme near Abbeville (which is where we'll be on a Friday night in late August after a late arrival in France. It has a caravan/motorhome area, separate from the main service building, with a chicane entrance so that HGV's don't get access. It's a very pleasant place to stay too, not noisy in the caravan area, and a lovely walk on a boarded walkway raised high over small dykes full of ducks and carp, back to the main service building.

hi thanks for that val we are planning an 8 week trip the target destination is bulgaria but we may stop and stay somewhere nice on the way any suggestions of good sites in that general direction thanks franklin

Can't help much with sites, I'm afraid. We took a motorhome to Czechoslovakia back in 1977 - so not well travelled in that direction.

Are you using Camping Cheques? They've a few sites in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria (some 'associated' or partner sites) and also a couple of sites on the European side of the Sea of Marmara in Turkey (which just might be worth that extra few kilometres).
