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 one of Europe's busiest cross-Channel gateways. Beyond the ferry terminal, Calais rewards those who linger. The Cité Internationale de la Dentelle et de la Mode celebrates the city's 500-year lace-making heritage inside a beautifully converted factory. Rodin's famous sculpture Les Bourgeois de Calais stands proudly outside the Hôtel de Ville, whose Flemish-Renaissance belfry is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A short stroll takes you to the Tour du Guet, a medieval watchtower that once guided ships through the Channel. Along the seafront, Calais Beach stretches for kilometres, backed by a wide promenade ideal for an evening walk. Boulogne-sur-Mer lies 34 km south along the Côte d'Opale, while the market town of Saint-Omer is 55 km to the south-east, giving you easy access to two very different day trips. The flat, open roads of the Pas-de-Calais département are well suited to larger vehicles, and the coastal route towards Cap Blanc-Nez offers dramatic cliff-top views without tight bends. With Yescapa, you hire your campervan or motorhome directly from local owners in the Calais area, so you can collect your vehicle close to the port and set off along the coast or inland without delay. It is a practical, personal way to begin a French road trip from the moment you arrive.
Best time to visit
Calais enjoys a mild maritime climate that suits campervan travel from spring through to autumn. May and June bring long daylight hours and comfortable temperatures, perfect for exploring the Côte d'Opale before the summer rush. The Calais Fête de la Mer in July celebrates the city's maritime traditions with parades and seafood markets along the waterfront. August is the busiest month, so booking your hire on Yescapa early lets you lock in competitive peer-to-peer prices. September and October offer quieter roads and golden light over the cliffs of Cap Blanc-Nez, with campsites still open and welcoming motorhome travellers.

Frequently asked questions
Campervan hire in Calais typically starts from around £55 per night for a compact two-berth vehicle, rising to £120 or more for a larger motorhome with a full kitchen and bathroom. Prices vary by season and vehicle type. Because Yescapa connects you directly with private owners in the Calais area, you often find more competitive rates than with traditional hire companies, especially for longer trips.
On Yescapa, local owners list their vehicles across the Calais area, so pick-up points can be found near the ferry terminal, in residential neighbourhoods such as Saint-Pierre and Calais-Nord, or in nearby towns like Coquelles and Sangatte. You arrange the handover directly with the owner, which means you can often collect your motorhome within minutes of arriving by ferry.
To get the best value on your Calais trip, book well ahead on Yescapa and compare listings from different local owners. Travelling in May, June or September often means lower prices and quieter roads. Choosing a smaller campervan rather than a large motorhome also reduces your nightly cost. Flexible dates help too — midweek departures can be more affordable than weekend pick-ups.
For a couple or solo traveller, a compact campervan with two berths is ideal and easy to park along the Côte d'Opale. Families of four or five are well served by a motorhome with a fixed rear bed and overcab sleeping area. The flat, wide roads around Calais handle larger vehicles comfortably. Browse Yescapa's listings to filter by berth count and match the right vehicle to your group.
Yes, many owners on Yescapa welcome pets in their vehicles. You can filter listings near Calais to show only dog-friendly campervans and motorhomes. The Côte d'Opale coastline is great for dogs, with long sandy beaches at Wissant and Sangatte where four-legged friends can run freely outside peak summer months. Always confirm pet policies directly with the owner before booking.
