Ferry needed

[Tracey70]

Hi has anybody got a ferry return ticket for Monday? I left it too late to book the ferry and can only get a return on Sunday ? and don't really want to leave early..if not would it be very expensive to leave the car in Portsmouth overnight and come back over as a foot passengers?

Hi Tracey, 

Wekve had this problem in the past, and yes parking is fairly expensive in Portsmouth but nowhere near as expensive as taking the car on the ferry (depending on how many passengers there are) Personally, we never take the car over now, it’s a bit of a pain to get your stuff across but the bus’s to take you to the campsite are close by (once you get off Ryde pier) we now tend to leave the car in Southampton, it’s easier to park and the buses are right outside the ferry terminal at the other end. Good luck and have a great time!

Do you have any recommendations for where to park in Southampton? I've googled for some ideas but thats never as good as actual experience.

Hi Craig,
