It depends very much on the type of campsites you are looking for.
If you want all singing and dancing at the beach it may become difficult, but if you limit your demands to 2 or 3 star campsites, you should be OK. I usually go for municipal campsites. These days also 3 star sites still often will have a small swimming pool.
I always bring the Michelin camping guide with me. Never booked in advance for 30 years. Only 3 sites fully booked and another one available within 15 minutes driving.
We usually stay on a site up to 4 or 5 days. Longer periods may be more difficult due to reservations, but a few days is nearly always possible.
Also arriving on site in time helps a lot. Try to arrive at 16.00 and in any case noit later than 17.00. Later may be possible, but many French have a tendence to arrive on site rather late. So timely arrival usually will secure you a pitch.
When in doubt about your arrival time, just use the telphone number of the site you intend to go and reserve the pitch for that day, of course telling them your estimated time of arrival. This usually works and is normally not considered as pre booking, hence free of booking charges. I used to do this for a specific site in St Nectaire in Auvergne, when I expected to arrive at 19.00/19.30 or so due to traffic circumstances. And yes, this is much easier if you speak a few words French. (Avez vous une emplacement pour ce soir, tente/caravane/x personnes...).
