Their website's very misleading then - it says "Once you've booked your Yelloh Village holiday there's nothing more to pay: everything is included." Are they infringing the trade Descriptions Act?!

Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
There are plenty of campsites with restaurants - but not included in the price! We also like eating out - both on site and off and some campsites have really good restaurants, often used by the locals who aren't camping! We have had three course 'Menus' (starter, main course, and pudding) for between 9 and 15 euros on some sites, and others just have a take-away or pizzeria. If you want a meal cooked for you there are thousands of sites to choose from.
Our last campsite had 2 restaurants, 1 being an uninspiring expensive pizzeria & the other a 'posh' restaurant which we would have ruined the ambience of as soon as we walked in the door (as a family of 5 we don't come quietly).
It was a 20 minute drive to find anywhere else to eat, I would have enjoyed eating out without having to drive (we spent a lot of time in the car visiting landing beaches amongst other places, had an amazing time but got fed up of going/being in the car)
Haha not that I'm picky 😀

If, in this country, you can describe a washing machine as "automatic" when you have to put the clothes into it and turn it on, then their claim seems quite mild.
Jimmijemz - if you say where you'd like to be (which area) then I'm sure those of us who like good (and cheap) campsite restaurants will be able to recommend somewhere.
I suppose for a typical tourist type menu on or off a campsite one can budget 10-12€ for adult meal + drinks about 2-3€ each. Sandwich/burger/frites + drink takeway 6-8€ so it's not hard to work out a budget for whole trip if thats what you are worried about.
Ordering food is easy in tourist areas, menus are often in English & staff are well used to serving non French speakers. Smaller family owned campsites will often do communal meals several times a week. They put out tables, bring your own plates/cutlery & wine as well. Cost usually 9€ upwards.

Jimmijemz - try Camping Belle Roche in the foothills of the Alps. The nicest campsite we ever found.
Nathalie will do breakfasts and home cooked evening meals any day of the week and Patrick will serve you drinks on the little terrace while she is cooking.
We like quirky little sites. If you're looking for full-board on a site with nightclubs and flumes, this one won't be for you, but the Camping L'Amitié in Trébas on the Tarn does full and half board. It's also right in the village.
Here are the details. I don't seem to have reviewed it (my bad!). We loved it, as do a lot of others. It was well-populated, the nearby Muni was empty. But it is quirky and a little bit scruffy (clean loos,hot showers and wifi though!). But that's what we like. And they were lovely people.
As there are 5 of us, eating out 7 nights a week would be costly.
I love camping & am ok with cooking, would just be nice to have a week off it on holiday.
I'm sure the staff wouldn't agree but we're happy guessing at French menus and trying to communicate what we want with those who don't speak any English. I found it can be quite a good way of learning new words, which we then put into practice the rest of the trip 😀
I'll take a look at the places you've mentioned, Thankyou.
We've fallen in love with France, can't wait to go back! Nothing booked as yet...
