When are you going?, you can usually get a good deal if you book with DFDS (aka NorfolkLine) when the October NEC show is on, the discount code is often posted on here.
For peak a crossing this year Car+Trailer was £58 return for the Dover-Dunkerque crossing.
There are so many great places to go camping in France, it all really depends on what floats your boat.
We have mostly done the Cote d Azur, and have done the Western end of the French Med a couple of times.
Always outstanding weather during July, although very busy and the Cote d Azur is expensive.
For the last few years we have been down to the Southern Ardeche, and have returned to the same 4 Star campsite 3 years on the run "Camping Domaine de Gil" at Ucel within walking distance of the Spa Town of Vals Les Bains, and about 3 miles from the bustling town of Aubenas.
We found the Ardeche to be superb, same climate as the Med, with slightly cooler evenings which suited us.
Last year we did a day trip to Le Groi on the central Med, so also quite dooable if you fancy a day on the beach.
One of the great things about the Ardeche, is that even in peak most roads are clear, and the overall costs are well below that of the Cote d Azur.
And generally we are the only token Brits on the campsite, although you can't move for Dutch campers, they just love the region.
From Dunkerque to the Ardeche is just 600 miles, we usually do an overnight at Armbouts Cappel just 13 miles South of Dunkerque, then another overnight at Chalon Sur Saone, some 400 miles South of Dunkerque.
We find that the "Premiere Classe" budget hotels are great for overnight stops at around £30 and most have a Campanile restaurant adjacent were you can get a decent evening meal, and as a "Premiere Classe" resident you get 15% of the entire meal including drinks.
