We want to escape the bad UK weather and high prices, by camping abroad this year, anybody been to some good sites in France?? We have all our own equipment, but would consider a static site, as our new car has a tiny boot :-(

We definitley want a site with a pool, and would like to keep the cost down as much as possible.

Any ideas anyone??

Try some of the independent camping operators web sites. That will give you some idea of the sites and areas you could be looking at

Hi hun! Long time no speak =)

Well, our favorite is L'Etang de la Breche in the Loire. We were there last summer and will be there again in 8.5 weeks time (not that I'm counting hehe). Kids love the pool & slides. 

TBH though I'm not sure I would like the static caravan area....I much prefer the main perimeter field with it's huge private pitches.

How far are you wanting to travel?

Hi Claire

Yes sorry it's been so long....but I'm back in camping mode again, I've just got back from the US and all I can think about is my next holiday!! To be honest camping is a firm favourite with the family more so than America!! I'll check out your site, I really wanted a recommended one rather than "winging it". I would prefer to take our own tent, but boot space is really down to a minimum, and no roof rack either!! I might look into a very small cheep trailer, perhaps that will be my next post! lol

Keep in touch, hope all the family are well

Yeah sorry it's been so long....I know what you mean about wanting a recommended site. When are you looking at going?  How was the US??? Email me, I need all the juicy details LOL xxxx

Hi Claire

We are looking at going in the last two weeks of August.

I shall mail you with all the details of the US, have you seen my pictures??

We'll be camping in France at the end of August. We found the reviews in the Campsite Search section really helpful when deciding not only which site to stay at, but which location.

As to area, what do you like to do on your hols? Are you a sun worshipper/beach bum? Or do you like to explore historical towns or hike the hills? Brittany is always good for a bit of sun, sand and exploration, or the Loire for the gorgeous chateauxand some of my favourite wine.

Ooops, sorry I got carried away.....
