Hi
We are booked on the early ferry 13th Feb
I have seen posts somewhere about staying in the ferry queue overnight ready to board

Is this a thing still
Cheers
 
We live down the road in Lewes so never had to stop overnight and tend to get the earlier ferry. However, we are planning to cross over in May and take the 5’ish ferry and then stay in the Dieppe Aire before travelling on the next day, never done that though.
We did that once, went straight to the Aires by the cliff, there was a place which I assume has just been vacated by a ferry traveller. Spent a quiet night there, and the next day happened to be a market day, so spent a morning in what turned out to be a great market, which provided us with breakfast and lunch, with the afternoon on the road. A great start to a holiday!

I always stay at the Beachy Head pub, about 20 minutes from Newhaven, huge carpark - big enough to turn our motorhome and car trailer, happy enough for motorhomes to overnight for free if using the pub and open field walks for the dogs before driving to the ferry.

I would move up to the ferry entrance from the car park as soon as the gates close for the previous ferry ensuring first on and therefore first off.
That’s in correct.you are then directed to a lane number line and as a rule it’s last on 1st off . As 1st on go on upper deck and cannot get off until lower deck is cleared
Motor home go on last so 1st off
