Portsmouth to St Malo

Did anyone use this crossing this summer? We would like to stay at the P'tit Bois for 2 weeks next year and are trying to guess the cost.

I have used this route twice now, we go out overnight to St Malo and return by day from Caen as it is much shorter for a day crossing. Going out this April and returning end of June with a cabin on the outward leg cost
 
Portsmouth to St Malo always used to be our preferred crossing but it became quite expensive. We now prefer to go to the east side of France so tend to use the Dover/Calais crossing.

We first stayed at Le P'tit Bois in 1986 when it was a nice quiet site with a decent toilet block although we could only get tepid water in the showers!! It had no other facilities then. We last visited the site in 2004 for an overnight stop and found it very busy and expensive. Furthermore the showers were still not particularly warm.

We prefer Camping de la Hallerais at Taden near Dinan, particularly because you can walk from the site into Dinan, along the River Rance. Again we have not stayed there since 2004 so cannot really comment on the site.
 
If you want a nice site near St Malo have a look at Haliotis at Pontorson - walkable into the town, good size pitches, some fully serviced and friendly welcome. In the CC Europe 1 book
 
We used this crossing in the middle of June and back 1st week in July.

Couldn't fault it apart from the loading on the car deck on the way out very tight.
