Car Ferry in Croatia

 We did both options (ferry and road) in Oct 2018. We drove going south and came back on the ferry as we wanted to see some of the peninsula. Driving down was no problem at all. It took maybe 20 mins on an excellent road once we were thru the border. Nothing road or traffic wise concerned us so I'd be inclined to "take the risk". Coming back on the ferry was easy. About a 1 hour trip. Big boat so no concerns about not getting on. Don't try to book as they take the order from the queue, not from pre-books. The ferry company web site has all the prices. We also visited the Kotor region in Montenegro which is well worth a visit and Montenegro is very well priced, relative to Croatia. Camping Kate near Dubrovnik is very good. Cheers, Colin

Thank you all for your replies,

I have had a look on u tube and saw a caravan boarding the ferry,so that's good.I have thought about going through the border,CClub says they have no agents for any breakdown in Bosnia,but will pay for any problems,I.e. Recovery you pay they will re emburse when you get home,NFU will only cover 3rd party and you have to buy their car insurance.

Hello nicobromb. We drove down to Dubrovnik this summer in our 6.4m motorhome and took the ferry from Ploce to Trpanj. It was a matter of turn up and get a ticket from the quayside office and wait for the next available departure. While tickets can be pre-bought you still need to queue as spaces are first come first served so little point. The ferries are a reasonable size (similar to the Isle of Wight) with trucks and coaches accommodated. We enjoyed the 'detour' and took the opportunity to stay at Camping Lavender near Orebic. From there we took a foot passenger boat trip to Korcula town before continuing our road trip to Dubrovnik.

Here we are on the road down the peninsula to Dubrovnik having stopped for a few days at Orebic. Like Pleinair we took the passenger boat across to Korcula. You can see both towns and Korcula island way way down in the background!
