I took a D-lock to use similar to you. I took the wrong key though! I bought the biggest padlock that had in the supermarket (left the bike at the tills) and used in conjunction with the cable I took too. I locked the bike to a pole, then moved it when the horse in the field next to the site took too much of an interest in my bike so just laid it, locked, the other side of my tent at my head end and balanced my saucepan on it. I locked it to a sizeable tree at the next site but didn’t lock it at all at Dunkirk ferry port. I figured no one was going to nick a fully loaded bike when they’d have no where to hide it.
Overall I was really happy with my setup, except I took too much cycle wear and will limit to two complete sets for my next trip. I’ll also practice one pot cooking at home. It’s daunting in a supermarket looking for something appropriate to cook so practice beforehand would be a massive benefit.

I'd also keep the D lock too. I used it every night at the campsite overnight and a few other times. Would much rather have the 1kg than not have a bike.
