If you want somewhere close to the Tunnel, Zeeland is
excellent; you can camp in Zeeland Flanders (near Breskens)
and get one of the 2 free ferries over to Walcheran, where
you will find a very good mix of the old and the rural. My
favourite memory is of finding a fish shop that sold superb
battered cod and haddock, but no chips, you have to go next
door and have them covered in mayo (but also superb).
Whatever you decide to do, enjoy ;-)
