Hello,
We are looking for a nice family site within 500 miles of Calais,it does not really matter what country it is in, so you can see we are not too fussy but it must allow us to take our dog and have a pool and a bit of entertainment on site for the children.
Did not want to pay more than about 600 euros for a week as we intend going for two.
many thanks for looking and hope to hear soon so we can get looking.
Andy

Andy - there are so many sites that it's difficult to actually recommend one!  It's much easier if people have a specific request, such as 'river' or 'beach' or with cycle tracks nearby - but difficult to pick one with so little to go on.  There are 11,000 campsites in France and I'd guess that more than half of these also have mobile homes to hire. 

I'd suggest, first of all, that you have a look at Eurocamp and Canvas Holidays brochures, and see if there's anything you like the look of - then check directly with the site website to see if they hire out their own mobiles, which is often much cheaper than booking through a tour operator such as Eurocamp.  The Les Castels website has loads of lovely family sites, which hire out mobiles, as does Sites et Paysages.  Have a look, too, at Holiday Cheque.  

Your main problem is going to be that it's now getting rather late to be looking for this year - especially as you'll want something in the school holidays.  You'll probably find it easier to find something if you're willing to go the last two weeks in August, rather than late July or early August. 

Many French sites allow animals on the campsite, so I would think you'll find somewhere which also allows dogs in the mobile homes. 

Sorry to sound so unhelpful - but it's really difficult to just pick one out of the many hundreds of lovely sites in Europe!

My favourite site, Soleil Plage on the Dordogne, is child and dog friendly - it is within range and has, or maybe now its nearly April -'had' mobilehomes to rent.

In my experience nothing entertains kids better than other kids - the bigger the site the more kids; Soleil Plage is a medium sized site.

Le Moulinal nr Biron used to do LOADS for the kids but I don't know if it still does.

Echo what Val has said.

I am currently looking through the vacansoleil brochure, and that has caravans to rent.

The site I am interested in is in Luxembourg, and that site it is definately cheaper for us to book direct with the site, rather than go through a third party.

Just got the vacansoleil book to give me some ideas of where else to try if my first choice is not available.
