Holiday campsite up to 2 hours from Calais?

[chicaguapa]

We fancy going over to France for a week in the summer holidays but don't fancy driving for hours across France. Can anyone recommend a nice holiday campsite (ie not just for overnights) up to a couple of hours' drive from the port? Thanks.

In the countryside or near a beach ?

Berny Riviere is just over 3 hours but it's an easy drive and worth it!

Do you want quiet or busy. Lots of english spoken or not?
I'm at a really nice very quiet site with next to no English in the bay de Somme called le champ neuf. We stayed at croux de vieux p

Whoops on iPhone...... croix de vieux pont last year and it's much smaller than that site and it's been very quiet this week although I imagine it's busy in high season. It's a very nice part of france if you like nature and its good for cycling and only about an hour from Calais.

Hi. Happy to have no English speakers around as I can speak French. Beach not required but a pool/ lake would be nice for sunning & swimming. Not sure about busy/ quiet. Don't need a bar or entertainment but would like it to have a holiday feel. Not sure if that last bit helps! Thanks.

That's two campsites recommended in Baie de Somme! They both look nice, so thank you. I'd seen the Drancourt one in the CCC European brochure so it's good to have a recommendation. I know the other one as it's 'near' Disneyland, so I'll check out the prices.
