When we were there a few years ago there was a good municipal campsite to the north of Dunkirk against the coast. I dont think you'll have a problem in July - might be full in August though if you don't pre-book.

We often pop over for the weekend. I would recommend going the other way to Marcanterra via Hesdin. There is a very good french market in the town of Rue 'every' saturday morning with little cafe bars , nature reserve as well as some fantastic little villages. We stay at a camsite not far from Rue and Marcanterra. We usualy by our food from the market for the weekend. Also nice little fishing village with fishermen selling there catch at Port de Somme.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
