Hi Cleef15

The site is really friendly, and someone will give you a hand. There are normally around 20 to 25 British families, at least 10 come back year after year. Most of the people on site are German, bit there is a really good mixture of French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian and Swedish campers

When do you get there? We will be there from 3rd to 26 August, give me a shout if you need any help

I will be there with my wife and 3 chilren: Girl 8, Boys aged 10 and 13

I agree with Boxman's route.  We did it two years ago, with one overnight (3 nights) at Clermont Ferrand.

The Ground is pretty hard, but not too rocky. Saying that I use a combination of normal pegs and rock pegs in the corners - Rock pegs are great as they do not bend when being hammered into hard ground

Charcoal BBQ's are fine - best to have a fire extinguisher as well - a couple of years ago  saw a tent go up flames, luckily within 5 seconds several neighboring campers had rushed out with fire extinguishers so there was no real harm other than to the awning of the tent

I am a very experience windsurfer and just use a rash vest. I take a shorty wetsuit in case the the Tramontana blows which is much cooler, however, the Tramontana is relatively rare in the August. The majority of windsurfers do use a shorty wetsuit, I guess that I am just hardier than them. We have never taken kids wetsuits with us, however, some people do, especially for water sports. For general playing in the sea a wetsuit is definately not required.

A rash vest is also good for children with very fair skin

There is a sailing/windsurf school next to the campsite - you can get lessons, rent kit or get taken out on a catamaran with an experienced sailor

If you can take bikes it is a certainly an advantage, kids love to cycle around the camp site - if adults take their bikes you can cycle along the beach track into San Pedro Pescadore a couple of miles away or into Escala 5 ish miles away (do bring a good lock)

See you all in Spain - pitch 54a with a Cabannon Galaxy Trailer tent and silver Merceded Estate - We will be easy to find, just follow the noise and look for the collection of windsurfing equipment, inflatables, bikes and general mess

Once you are settled in please feel free to drop round (with bottle if you like)  - kids can also come round too
