Dover Calais would be the obvious route. It is very easy to find your way around and the internet is excellent for finding campsites. Not so many open in winter but some do.

If you ask specific questions on here there is a wealth of information and help.

Greetings Shetty,

Dover Calais is the cheapest HOWEVER, it does sort of depend where in the UK you live.

If you live, like me at the pointy end of the country, (South West) it's more than a full tank of UK juice to get to Dover, and then I've got to get back.

Just for completeness, look at Dover-Dunkirk. Lots of offers for a cheap ferry. Dunkirk-Paris is almost same time as Calais but it's a motorway without tolls so it's cheaper.

1/3 of the motorway is toll free, compared to Calais/Paris.
