As longcol says, the best way really depends on when you are travelling and your final destination.
The ferry website is here . It's in French but easily translatable via Google.
In the winter and shoulder seasons (September to June) there are timetables, though the current timetable only goes up to March 2024 so you would have to keep checking when the update will be published. In the summer (July an August basically), the boats cross, drop off, fill up and set off again, non stop. Out of high season there isn't usually too much of a queue as the timings are based on previous demand but note that the ferries do stop for lunch out of season and can be very busy at weekends and French holidays even out of season.
There is more info about the actual boats used and the ports here and here which give you some idea of the size of the ship and the experience.
To give you some idea of the driving times, according to Via Michelin St Malo to the Bordeaux ring road with a caravan will take you about 6 hours.
Alternatively St Malo to Royan is between five and a half and six and a half hours, the ferry will be about an hour plus waiting time, then Verdon to the Bordeaux Ring Road a further hour and 40 mins or 2 hours depending on route.
These timings are all probably optimistic plus there is with no allowance for traffic or stops. Obviously if your destination is above Bordeaux the these times will be different.
If your destination is south of Bordeaux then you will have to add on the time for that and allow for any hold ups on the Bordeaux ring road, which can be considerable.
Only you can work out the best way forward.
Another thing to check is how late you will be able to access your campsite if you are held up. This may affect your decision.
