You dont say when you plan on going? We go the 21st August as Brittany ferries - portsmouth to Caen do a special offer via camping cheques website. I have just paid £586 for the ferry, caravan, delux cabin and 12 camping cheques, thats mine and dh's holiday. I then just pay taxes and for the kids. I think that is very reasonable. - We drive to La Palmyre (poitou charente) from Caen, Takes about 6 hours, sometimes more depends on how many times we stop as we have a toddler with us. You then have to use a site which accepts camping cheques to.
That means you've paid £416 for the ferry - if you'd got the show discount, you could have paid £58 for the Dover-Dunkirk ferry and then about £100 in tolls (return) and maybe one or 2 extra tanks of fuel for the further driving (say £100, pessimistically).
That would be a saving of at least £160 if you go the long way - basically pays for your camping cheques...worth it, no?
Do many places take camping cheques in August?
