BUT if you've booked a 'package' camping holiday you're stuck there in the rain wishing you'd brought your caravan and could move somewhere else.

we have done Eurocamp and similar for many years, sometimes twice a year, but are taking our own unit for the first time this year.  Out of season it would be about the same price to go with our folding camper or in a Eurocamp static.  Petrol wise you pay similar regardless of whether you take your own unit (well you do if in a folding camper or tent) or stay in a static and the ferry inclusive price for Eurocamp only covers a mid week Dover crossing so you do pay more for longer crossings.

We are going the second week in July and, by taking our own unit it is working out about £1000 cheaper at £300 for return overnight crossing with cabin (LD lines) and £200 for the pitch.     Eurocamp want £1000 for a static for the same week, at the4 same site and we have not checked what a longer crossing would have added to the price.

I don't think £500 is costly for a week abroad in July.  there are only two of us going but had the kids decided to come too (highly unlikely now that they are post 18) then the cost would not have been much more.
