Why choose Calais for your road trip
Calais — a city worth exploring
Calais sits just 34 km from the English coast across the Strait of Dover, making it the closest French city to Britain and a natural gateway for cross-Channel travellers. The city's iconic Tour du Guet, a 13th-century watchtower on Place d'Armes, has stood guard over the old town for more than seven centuries. History enthusiasts will appreciate the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Calais, home to an impressive lace-making collection that reflects the city's textile heritage, while Rodin's famous sculpture Les Bourgeois de Calais stands proudly outside the Hôtel de Ville. For a breath of fresh air, Parc Richelieu offers manicured gardens right in the centre, and the long sandy stretch of Calais Beach is ideal for a seaside stroll. Boulogne-sur-Mer lies 35 km to the south-west, perfect for a day trip to its medieval walled old town and Nausicaá aquarium, while the wartime tunnels of Cap Blanc-Nez are roughly 15 km west along the Côte d'Opale. The flat coastal terrain around Calais makes driving a campervan straightforward, with wide roads and easy access to the A16 motorway. Through Yescapa, you can hire a motorhome directly from local owners in the area, giving you a personal touch and flexible pick-up options that suit your schedule. Renting a campervan here means you can roll off the ferry and start exploring northern France without delay.
Best time to visit
Calais is a rewarding destination throughout the year. Summer brings the Calais Beach Festival and the Fête de la Mer in July, when the waterfront comes alive with music and seafood stalls. Autumn is a wonderful time to explore the Côte d'Opale with fewer visitors and golden light over the cliffs. Booking a campervan through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform often means more competitive rates outside peak months, so a spring or early-autumn trip can be especially good value. If you plan to visit Calais in summer, we recommend reserving your motorhome early to secure the best choice of vehicles from local owners.

Great camper with all the necessary bits to enjoy off grid or plug in. Naiara and Miguel were very helpful and managed to communicate well with us, even though we didn't speak Spanish. They were extremely kind and considerate throughout the trip and responded quickly to any messages or queries. Llanes is a beautiful place to start your journey- we went up to Somiedo, in the mountains, and then spent a few days back by the sea.

If you’re looking for the perfect camper van, look no further! Sylvia’s van exceeded all of our expectations. It was spotless, incredibly comfortable, and equipped with absolutely everything we could possibly need. You can immediately tell how much care and attention Sylvia puts into making sure her guests have the best possible experience. What really made the difference was Sylvia herself. She was exceptionally kind, welcoming, and always quick to respond, making us feel supported from the moment we booked until the end of our trip. Thanks to her amazing van, we had an unforgettable adventure and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would happily rent from Sylvia again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable host and a fantastic camper van.

I loved tripping around the island with this van. It is equipped with many accessories as described, and some basic food condiments to get you started. Sleeping was comfortable, and handling the van itself too!
