Perhaps, for non-members of the CCC who don't have access to which sites are actually available through Freedom Vouchers, you could list the possible options in Brittany - and then get opinions from people who may have stayed there on those sites.

Can't help with your specific query for Brittany, but we used the Freedom Vouchers last year. We also use the ACSI card and found some sites listed in the Freedom book, also in the ACSI scheme.
Don't know if you have ACSI too, but it may be worthwhile checking if the site(s) you are considering are also listed there, if so, you could use the ACSI card, then save your Freedom vouchers for elsewhere, where ACSI is not accepted.
Just my frugal (tight-fisted?) mind working overtime!

I had a quick look on the ACSI site, first one I came across was Campsite Village le Manoir de Kerlut, relevant page HERE
Cost 15 Euro per night, 2 adults, pitch, EHU.
There is one review, which, ACSI being a Dutch organisation, but selling the discount card all over Europe, is in Dutch. BUT, as I am Dutch, I can help you with the review, it's your lucky day!
It is not a very good review, complaint being that there are only 3 toiletblocks, which are rather dated and weren't kept very clean and only 2 of which were open at the time of their stay (July 2008). However, for kids it was very good.
Hope you get sorted, have you done a search on this website yet? There are a lot of French sites listed, quite a few of them with reviews, have a look under CAMPSITE SEARCH, then click on the map for France and see if any of them are there.
Hope this helps

Hi

We stayed at Manoir de Kerlut last Sep.  We loved it.  Lovely grounds and the covered swimming pool was like our own private pool.  Outdoor one was too chilly.

Saying this we went with our two children begin Sep when the school holidays were over. So very,very quiet.  Have no idea what it would be like in season though.  Seemed a well looked after site with lots for children to do.  The Manoir itself was closed whilst we were there.

We would like to go back.  Not sure if this helps?

Angela

Pete - there are other discount schemes too - take a look at the Camping Cheques, Touring Cheques  and ACSI websites.  Camping Cheques, and Touring Cheques need to be bought in advance, but with the ACSI card you just buy the book and the card, and show it at reception when you book in.  With ACSI some sites cost just 11 euros, others 13 and the most expensive 15 - and that's for pitch, two people, car and caravan, and electricity.  So, similar to Freedom Vouchers, you can just move on if you don't like a site.

Have a good holiday.

Just what I was going to say, you beat me to it!! I'd already mentioned ACSI, as I found last year that some of the Freedom sites were also in the ACSI scheme.
We're not getting the Freedom cheques this year, as there aren't that many of them, not compared to Camping Cheques and ACSI.

Thank you everyone for all your helpful answers. We were originally put off camping cheques by a site owner who had experienced very pressurised sales techniques into joining up with camping cheques and they didn't get a very good deal out of the scheme.

The card idea is certainly an option we'll be investigating.

Pete

ACSI in some ways is the best of the schemes, as the initial outlay is £10.50 for the guidebook plus card. There is no limit on the number of times you can use the card, so the more you use it, the relatively cheaper it becomes (the cost of the book plus card I mean). This is opposed to Camping Cheques whereby you have to pay £13.40 for each cheque you buy, so a pretty big outlay before your holiday. On the other hand of course, it means that you have in fact already paid for the sites beforehand, thus spreading the cost over time, and also that you don't have to change that amount of money for Euros.
But of course it depends on which site(s) you want to go to and which scheme, if any, they are in.
We use both anyway, as we do a lot of touring round, never book beforehand and stay in France for 6 weeks at a time.

For purchasing the ACSI card see http://www.vicariousbooks.co.uk/acsi.htm
They have always been very prompt at posting it out, I can certainly recommend them.
