Hi Stella
Bit of a broad canvas you have offered. But here goes as a suggestion.
On arrival L'Anse du Brick, 15 mins from the ferry terminal, and a nice easy site. Will be quiet in May, and 4/5 days gives you plenty to see and do adjacent to the site, and around Cherbourg and the coast 20 miles either side.
1 st move Port L'Epine /Perros Guirec 2/3 hrs drive west on the coast. Again lovely area, plenty of sight seeing, and a quite unique area of France. The villages are Breton north, and this is mega different to the rest of France
2nd move Across the Brest penninsula to Concarneau/ Benodet. There are loads of posting on hear for campsites in this area, too many to mention. Ours is Les Pres Verts at Concarneau. You may want more than 4/5 days here. But a couple of must dos for me is a visit to Locronan which is a medieval village nearby, and a sail to the Iles of Glennan if the boats are running that early.
3rd Move to La Trinitie/Carnac/Quiberon/ Golfe de Morbihan anywhere round this area, again there are many threads on here on the subject.
4th move Vendee/ St Jean de Monts, just because it is there, and see it before the millions of tourists arrive in July/August.
5th move Angers There is a very well organised municipal not far from the town centre, and again 4/5 days is not enough. Must visit Bouchemaine and the river west of Angers. You could stay at Angers or do a short hop to Saumur.
Depending on time you can then go up the Loire to Sancerre, or head back to the Channel and do the WW2 beaches etc, or if you prefer rural Normandy, http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=6938 for a few days, say hello, and then back to Cherbourg.
Just a suggestion, you have now covered about 10 % of France ,see how you go.
