Looked into it , but believe that you can't take gas canisters on the train

ok , looks like we are going to go to Belgium

I am booking a Dover -Dunk ferry

then we are going to spend 5 days at each of these

Or this (Belgium) - about 3 hours from ferry at Calais http://www.wilhelmtell.com/recreatie/default.htm - and take Camping Cheques from 21 August - and have space.

Or this (Belgium) - about 1 hour from Calais, with an indoor pool complex and waterslide -  http://www.campingterduinen.be/ Take Camping Cheques from 16 August.

I have emailed them but received an answer yet

if I don't get an answer then I am just going to order the cheques & take a chance.

What the language in Belgium ?

Higgsy - that's great - glad you found somewhere - and hope you hear from them soon.  If you don't get an answer by email then ring them - if you don't speak enough French, then ask if anyone speaks English - I bet they will.  Sites which take Camping Cheques usually have a multi-lingual receptionist - it's the smaller sites where sometimes your best french is needed. 

Have a great holiday - and hope that you get good weather.

Thanks Guys

I have booked the ferry , &  10 the camping cheques £226

have phoned camp sites , cant reserve, but have been told that there is always space available

Now just got to get the insurance & the bits & bobs for the car,  triangle  beam benders ect

god this is going to be a completely diffrent experiance for us

wish me luck

You will find it a doddle!  Don't forget the GB sticker.  If you've gat a European Sat Nav - use it; it will give you all chance to see the lovely countryside.

Enjoy!

We're going to be at http://www.wilhelmtell.com/recreatie/default.htm just for two nights from 25th August whilst we go to Dusseldorf for the Caravan Show (just booking the tickets now) - might see you there - look out for Swift Speedbird (wrong side door) and silver Mondeo Estate.

Have a great holiday - hope you enjoy the continent as much as the rest of us.  On a rainy day you can even do a 'how many countries tour' and go into Holland (breakfast), Germany (lunch) and Luxembourg (afternoon coffee and cakes and fill up with petrol if it's still cheaper there!) - and still be back in time for dinner!
