im really pleased just booked our ferry portsmouth - le havre £256 return but thats peak season for car & caravan 2 adults & 1 child so you should get it much cheaper in low mid season - booked with camping cheque on line you can also get an all inclusive holiday and buy camping cheques with the ferry that you can use on quite a lot of sites in france dont know if this will help but for peak season we saved over £150........

good luck...........

STILL CANT REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW CAMPING CHEQUES WORK STATES THEY ARE TO BE USED LOW SEASON BUT THE ONLY WAY WE COULD BOOK FERRY WAS TO BOOK IT AND CAMPING CHEQUES WITH CROSSING HOWEVER IT ALLOWED ME TO ONLY BUY 1 CAMPING CHEQUE - GOOD WEBSITE - CAMPINGCHEQUE.CO.UK GIVES YOU ONLINE QUOTES FOR FERRY & INCLUSIVE DEALS AND YOU CAN VIEW ALL THE CAMPSITES YOU CAN USE THE CHEQUES AT I THINK THERES OVER 500 SITES THROUGHOUT EUROPE....

HOPE THIS HELPS NEVER USED THEM BEFORE

ALYSON.................

ps there is a thread running on camping cheques

Hi linda 65

As your from Somerset and going to Brittany it might be more convienient to go from Plymouth

We used camping cheques this year and was very impressed with the service and the cost.

The main part we liked about them was the fact that you didn't need to book your site but turn up and stay for as many nights as you want to.

The website is

www.campingcheque.com

or you may like to look at

www.select-site.co.uk

Hope this is of some use to you
