My first trip to France was to Domaine Des Ormes which is less than 30 mins from St Malo ferry port. We loved it and have been back to France every year since. Have read the latest review - note this does contradict the other reviews. It is a busy site with lots to do and lots around and about. I can't think of a better way to introduce yourselves to a French holiday.

snap, we got a last minute deal with Eurocamp to got to Des Ormes, but we did the Dover-Calais crossing so I had lots of driving to do and it was so easy we've been back every year since.  We're off back to Des Ormes this year and we're taking my Mum as she has never been and she is so excited.  I would go for it and try not to worry too much.

You'd be better asking in Camping abroad forum, but generally driving in France is a lot less stressful than driving in England because the roads are quieter (even in peak season).

It is worth going even if you don't go far south, because IMO the campsites are a lot better - especially if you want pools with flumes, indoor pools, play areas, tennis, football etc. If you just want to sit in a field you might as well stay in the UK.

For recommendations it would help to know if you have kids, what ages they are, how long you plan to go for etc.

mais non christine
even the fields are better
and as for the municipal sites - brilliant

If you can get hold of a cheap crossing (tesco chunnell deals, norfolk line etc) I've found out that to stay at a nice site with pool is cheaper than staying at similar in this country.

Sorry about the delay in coming back to you Pumpkin we went to this camp site end of Sept last year had a great time, on one of the last pitches near the river, away from the noise from the bar in the evening.  Two Bear Lake 4s side by side (out laws have one also) looked great.   http://www.etoiledargens.com/interieur.htm

We went to the Etoile d'Argens a couple of years ago. Lovely site :-)
