Family friendly campsite within 2 hours of Calais

Hello, I'm hoping to go on a camping holiday in northern France this summer with my one year old baby. We are keen to do one of those Eurocamp style mobile home holidays. But I don't want to drive too far once we arrive at Calais. Does anyone have any experience in a family-friendly campsite near a picturesque French town that you'd recommend? Thanks :)

Would you consider getting a ferry to a port a bit further south? Or perhaps flying? There’s nothing I’d recommend within 2 hours of Calais.

I agree, go as far as the Loire if you can?

We stayed at camping La Vallee in Normandy which was great with kids, think its maybe a bit more than 2 hours from Calais but an easy drive

@HGC2 is that the one in houlgate?

Yes it is, pretty wee town

Ignore my question as I've just looked.
I went there with dh and dd when she was 6 months old. It was great because we could go out to Lots of places without a huge drive in France.
There's some beautiful towns along the coast for leisurely lunches.
