Booking french Campsites

I have been looking at a campsite near Annecy, called La Serraz.

With Eurocamp I can book a luxury mobile home (including return ferry) for £1000 in Mid August,

If I book via the camp site's own web site for the same week I can get a luxury mobile home for £470 (not including ferry)

Now this seems to be a bit of a no brainer in terms of whom I book with, but why is there so such a price differential ? Are Eurocamp really that good or is it rip off big style ???

    Neither are so expensive that they will make up the difference between booking direct and booking via Eurocamp.

    We generally go via the Eurotunnel as its quicker and flexible. This time I have also booked a hotel about 100miles south of Calais to stay overnight. Last year we stayed at a fleapit B&B in Folkestone before taking the tunnel. Never again. Not only is the hotel in France cheaper there will be a decent breakfast to be had
