Is it necessary to book in august in France? I'm not too fussy about sites, so long as there is a toilet and a shower, quite fancy some of the municipal sites. We will be in a tent (no ehu) and just like the idea of a bit of freedom. Did it many years ago, no problem, have things changed? Kate

We went a couple of years ago and had no trouble just turning up at municipals. The more commercial sites need booking but if you're not fussy just go.
i think if your going after the 2nd week in august it should be ok, the main break is july and first 2 weeks in august in europe. we are the last 2 weeks of july and all of august. hope that helps.
Depends where you are going. Anywhere near the beach sites are all usually very crowded and noisy. I would suggest going inland a bit, and driving to the beach.
We have been going to France for the last thrirty years, and find it best to look for sites with a separate touring area, separate from the statics.
Go and enjoy.

we booked back in january for 1st 2 weeks in august, even then they only had a couple of pitches left.not booked anywhere for our overnighters though, turn up and hope or a good m/way aire !!
Still no need to book, especially if you want to use smaller or less commercial sites like the municipals, and don't need EHU. Just make sure when you move, you get to the next site reasonably early in the afternoon, say 3 or 4 o'clock to get a good choice of pitches.
