Where to stay in camper van near ferry ports

[24lemons]

Just looking for suggestions of where to camp in the camper van on Monday night near Portsmouth and Sunday night near Caen as we are getting the early morning ferry on Tuesday and the following Monday

Many thanks!

We can probably drive straight to the ferry early on Tuesday morning but we are planning on getting most of the way to Caen on Sunday night to avoid an early Monday getaway.

Can anyone confirm whether or not you can stay in your motor home at portsmouth ferry terminal? I've heard conflicting stories, with some saying that you can park up in the ferry queue after the last ferry leaves. Thanks.

We are just considering all options really. I find that there comes a point on Sunday night after the race that you just want to be on your way home. Even if its a couple of hours up the road, it's less to take on come Monday.

I see what you are saying, but you are rushing to Caen to wait for a ferry you will be on for 5 hours anyway. It's like hurry up and wait.

True enough. I suppose we will see how we feel on the day, we haven't done motor-homing before so its useful to know what options there are.
