Think the majority of French campsites have large pitches, the ones we've been to have all been a good size for our Antares 13 or Satellite 12 tents.

One site we have been to in the Loire was Camping De Chantepie near Saumur for the last two years and in addition to their standard pitches (100m²) with EHU they offer some XXL pitches (200m² - 250 m²) for even more room with EHU.

Good location and facilities.

Hi Ruddy we went to Lore Vally in 2007 and stayer in this campsite http://www.sologne-parc-alicourts.com/

We loved it Kids loved the pools good things to do on site and the pitches were big 10X10 meters +

Would recommend it

Happy camping

Andrew.

Have a look at the Camping Cheque website (www.campingcheque.co.uk).  On the informaton page about each site (go through 'Our campsites' then the map of France, then the area you're interested in) there's a section which gives 'average' pitch size.  On most sites this seems to be around 100 sq m - but there are several sites which list bigger pitch sizes than this, and this may help you find a site where there are some very big pitches.

The Huttopia site we stayed at at Senonches states that the average pitch size is 300 sq m!

Hi Pager33,

Yes first trip with the Mack 6 and plenty of room on the standard pitch (E10 on the corner).

It's an excellent site with a good mix of pitches and good facilities. One that we might stop at next year. The plan is to venture a little further south !
