Don't think it will include a caravan and you probably have to go there and back in 3 or 4 days but hey £25 is cheap to stock up on the booze!

For dates Chris states, camping cheques aren't valid.

They are valid - on some sites at least.  I've done a list of sites which accept Camping Cheques in mid-August, one on the 10th (L'Etang Neuf on page 188), and the following list on 15th August   Site                                                                  Page No      Date

and the following on the 16th

and (added later to the posting) these from the 17th and 18th

It's surprising how many sites there are where it's possible to use Camping Cheques during August.

Also taken here from Aug 18th

While 15th August is a good day to travel around France, you need to bear in mind that it is a Bank Holiday, so purchasing anything other than fuel at motorway services will be difficult.

Some supermarkets will be open, but only for 3 hours in the morning.

Just warning you, so you are prepared, and it doesn't come as a shock when you see all the supermarkets shut on a Friday!!!

Yes, would definitely fancy it - thought of the Vercors every year, especially as we love wildlife, and wild country - but always drawn back to the Millau, Tarn, Cevennes, Ardeche area!   Just come back from four days in France, with David's 90 year old Mum on her first ever flight - and did Nimes, Ardeche, Avignon, Provence, Grau du Roi (favourite areas) but would love to have just been a bit more 'wild' and ventured into the Vercors area. 

Would highly recommend Camping Cheques - we've been using them for eleven years, and found some fantastic sites - and saved a lot of money, too.  Also, try the ACSI website for details of other 'discount' sites. (10, 12, and14 euros per night).

Can i ask folks if these prices include caravans and is there a specific time slot(s) for these offers.

All i keep getting are normal prices.

Diane,

Many thanks for the info.
