The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small forest parking at the edge of Guînes forest, ideal for pre/post ferry or Eurotunnel stopovers. Picnic tables, very peaceful at night despite distant trains. Access is narrow and rutted on some routes (approach via Bouquehault preferred). Suitable for small vans and campervans, standard motorhomes possible but tight maneuvering. Nearby hiking trails, wildlife present (deer, rabbits). No facilities except mobile coverage.
Highlights
- Very calm and peaceful at night
- Natural setting with forest and wildlife
- Picnic tables with shade
- Excellent transit point for ferries and the Eurotunnel
Good to know
- Narrow access and sometimes bumpy, risk of damage
- No bins or services
- Trains audible at night/evening (not too bothersome)
- Requires careful GPS for good roads
Motorhome access : 7.5m motorhomes possible. Very narrow and bumpy access via some paths. Tricky maneuvers; better to approach via Bouquehault. Flat and spacious once there. Large vans not recommended.
