Is it easy to get to Caen Ferry Port towing a caravan, or do you have to go through Caen? Is it manic?

Answers to your three questions in that order.…Yes, No, No
The Caen ring road is busy in morning and evening rush hour times but traffic is normal outside those times

It must be easy because even I have managed without any hassle.

Last time we went, we left Portsmouth late afternoon and drove to caravan site just on outskirts of Ouisterham, Bella Riva. OK for an overnight stop but had to prebook to be able to arrive on that late ferry. No more than a 10 minute drive from the ferry.

You don't go all the way round the ring round only about a third to the north of Caen. When approaching the ring road from Bayeux on N13 take Peripherique Nord, the Car ferry is signposted. Leave the ring road at Junction 3a Porte d'Angleterre, keep following car Ferry signs to the port.

Once you get to the ring road it is well sign posted. I use my cheap £84 pro logic sat nav as well and never had any problems at all.
