We are going to France for the first time this year.  We're going for just over 2 weeks at the end of July and although we have already booked our ferrry crossing and main sites for our stay, we are looking to book a couple of overnight stops either side of the ferry crossing.

Can anyone suggest a good campsite guide or suitable cheap sites just outside of Caen and between Caen & Rennes). 

As first timers, we are also looking for information on tolls etc.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi, you can use the site mappy.com to calculate road tolls. Can't offer any recommendations on sites though, sorry!

An easy to use site for tolls including caravans is Autoroutes To find campsites just google, for example 'Caen camping municipal' or whatever town you want, normally comes up with a few alternatives.

The Camping du Chateauat Falaise, just inland from Caen is good. I have reviewed it .. just waiting for the Webmaster to post the review. It's a small Municipal site with a little library / tv room, tennis courts and free wifi. Pitches are separated by hedges. There's a bread van in the mornings and it's just a short walk into town. The USP is the magnificent view of the castle. Think William the Conquerer!

hope that helps
