I can understand sites taking deposits. It gets a commitment and discourages change of mind nearer the date, however a moderate deposit to cover first couple of nights is surely adequate?
If the sites are so popular and full, as to require large deposits, they should have no difficulty in filling pitches from "no shows" and a two night deposit should cover losses?
Like many others on here, we do not pre book which gives us great flexibility on our trips, but I can understand the desire of families to have the reassurance of a confirmed booking of their ideal site, and perhaps their ideal pitch.
On the other hand, I have not encountered a fully booked site in mid July in France. Even in mid August, the busiest French holiday month, site owners will tell me that they have never, ever, been so full as to turn away business, but I'm sure it is possible on very commercial places, but seasoned caravanners tend to avoid these.
If the sun shines, there are seldom any unhappy campers.
