The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small riverside parking near Fampoux, 1h15 from Calais, beside the Scarpe river and ponds in a nature reserve. Pleasant, quiet spot ideal for overnight stops. Bakery 200 m away, reliable 4G signal. Main drawback: regular train traffic (hourly, day and night) with noticeable vibrations—avoid if a light sleeper. Holds 4-5 vans/motorhomes on flat ground. Peaceful except during local events.
