The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Free parking along the Aa canal and pond near Watten village centre. Flat, quiet spot perfect for an overnight stop before/after Calais ferry. Paid services (water, electricity, waste disposal) require tokens from local shops. Bakery and amenities within walking distance. Main drawbacks: services frequently out of order, no toilets or showers, small designated area often full.
