2 years ago I paid just over £500 for 4 of us and the car and caravan, this year it's just under £1000. It's ridiculous, I live 3 miles from the ferry terminal but can't justify paying that.
I can fly the 4 of us to Alicante and have a 10 days in Spain for £1000.
------------- La Plage Blanche
Camping Solitaire Du lac
Camping Les Bouleaux
Val de Vesle
It's either that particular route, or you're wanting to go at the very height of the high season. I had a look at the Hull - Rotterdam crossing in September and it's more or less the same as last year at around £450 for my van, 2 adults and a 'good' cabin.
However I agree that the cost is still silly compared with flying and staying in a decent hotel.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.

I live 4 miles away, and drive past the dock entrance to go to Dover.
We live 15 min drive away from the port and booked Hull to Rotterdam in the summer holidays this year and it came to £540.00, its a big chunk of the holiday budget before booking a site. I would love to use the port again for camping trips to Europe but its pretty hard to justify when you can get flights at half the price.

Wow, and I thought I was paying over the odds at £148.50 for our Dover - Calais return crossing later this month for car+trailer at sensible crossing time's with P&O, checked with DFDS and they were asking £198 for Dover-Dunkerque.
Only 750 miles to the campsite once we get into France, so not to bad really!
We stopped Hull/Zebrugge few years ago got to expensive when we retired.Doing Scotland first-time since 80s this year after France for last 18,might be a one off though,as may get withdrawal symptoms.
