There are some good campsites within driving distance of EuroDiney. We are taking our caravan for a week to Le Croix du Vieux Pont for the first week in July. As it is slightly before the main season we will be using camping cheques. The ferry, cheques and supplements for the site has cost £230 - (2 adults and 2 16 year olds).
Ferry was £58 Dover - Dunkirk but others use their Tescos vouchers in exchange for Euro Tunnel tickets to keep costs down.
I've not stayed there before but it has excellent reports from others. The site also does mobile homes but they are more expensive.
We usually stay at La Croix Du Vieux Pont,its a lovely site but an hours drive to Disney.
So the last time we went (Oct half term) we stayed at Le Chene Gris,it was ideal for our needs.close to Disney (20 min drive)
Both sites we book using the SUN £9.50 holidays,then use Tesco deals for Eurotunnel (and Disney tickets the last time!)
Makes for a budget Disney break

Hope this helps
Yup, we stayed there this year in June, although we didn't go to DP. Great site and they also have ready-made tents if you don't want the expense of a static.
We've booked to go back next June again, for a full week this time. Ferry cost £80 or so (with a caravan), will work out at about £20 a night with Camping Cheques (we've got 2 kids which cost an extra 10 euros a night on top of the cheques).
I don't want to go to DP but kids are at a good age, so hope to go this once and then never again. At almost £200 a day for 4, its a flipping rip-off...

It's worth looking at the DLP hotels. Obviously it varies greatly depending on when you're going and ages of your party! But a couple of years we went as a stop over on our summer camping trip and it wasn't much more staying in the hotel than paying for day tickets and campsite. in that I included estimate of food, travel to park etc. That was paying Tesco CC vouchers for Eurotunnel, they didn't do them for park tickets at the time. The thing that made it better value was if you're 2 nights in a hotel you get 3 days worth of tickets included. Also it's B&B so, like everyone else, we made up a picnic with the continental breakfas. Then of course you get the early park entry, ability to get the half board. With early entry they only have one land open, but still you can cover several of the rides, then get the back entrance + run to one of the other big popular rides.
We stayed at the Santa Fe around the middle of August at a weekend. I kept looking at the DLP website and their quotes often seemed to change. One day I looked and it was £100 less than the day before!
It may work out much cheaper camping and getting seperate tickets but it's worth checking out the DLP site, you never know.

Eurocamp and other brands are at Le Croix. If you are able to go outside school hols or if your children have slightly different hols to the norm then it works out quite cheap. 6 of us (4 adults and 2 children) went last year for £450 in June, including two cars crossing by ferry and in a higher spec Eurocamp caravan. Nephew's school had 2 weeks at the May June half term so we went the second week when most schools were back and saved a fortune.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
