I am arriving at Calais on 14/8 via 2pm eurotunnel and heading down to Annecy-La Revoire. Will need to stopover somewhere on the way as we are not due at La Revoire until 18/8.

Does anyone know good and reasonably cheap sites to stay. One or two stopovers maybe? Do I need to book ahead? Would'nt mind something to look at or do when we stop rather than sleep and move on. What are these municipial thingy's all about?

So many questions SORRY!

There is so much choice I am looking for ideas/inspiration really.

We are getting an early evening tunnel on 19/08.  Planning to stop overnight close to Calais, move on and overnight at Lac de Leize near Langres.  We are due to arrive at du lac bleu, which you can throw a stone at from la Ravoire, on Saturday 21st.

The return journey will involve an over night a bit further north than Langres, and again at Calais before a lunchtime tunnel back to the UK.

Hi micky,
'Camping Municipal' are the town sites run by the council. They tend to be clean and basic, ie no pool, restaurant etc, but some have.
So you have 4 nights to fill? I assume you'll be heading down via the east of Paris, possibly the A26 (toll). The sites we use going down are Guines (Bien Assise) listed here. That's 15 mins from the tunnel, and expensive. I believe there's a site in Ardres too. But if you want to get a bit of distance, then head for Chalons en Champagne (listed), about 3 hours on the motorway. This is also expensive. After that there's a smashing little site we found last time, it's not come up on the listing yet, called Mery sur Seine, W of the A26 on the D441, that was very cheap and lovely. Troyes also if you prefer a big town. After that, Langres is a lovely town. Camping Navarre (listed) is in the town centre, well worth a visit. There's a couple of sites in Beaune, though we've not used them. Then Macon, that's not come up yet either, but a good site if you can get there not too late as it gets busy with stopovers. Not expensive either.

Thanks.

Hmm, don't know the answer to that, as we only go in April and September, and have never booked a site. Is that a campervan you have? Guines, Chalons, and Macon are huge sites, used a lot for stopovers, so lots of coming and going, so I would think you'd almost always get a pitch early afternoon. Mery is a lot smaller, but then, the pitches aren't marked out, so you can often squeeze in somewhere.
We've always managed to get a space for our not-too-large tent, even in July on the Med, though the sites were full to busting. One site refused us for 1 night, said they only took people for a week. And one site on the Normandy coast in June was very full, the pitch we got was very poor (and so was the campsite!)
If you have an alternative site to head for, you've a second chance if your first choice is full.

We have a max size twin wheel caravan, I suppose it would be prudent to book but don't want to tie any money up in deposits at the moment!

Hey we are also heading for La raviore on that day, but we have a 7.50am Train!

We are stopping at Chattillon Sur Seine on the way down for two nights (a municipal) but unfortunately they don't take Twin Axles we have a 7.15 M Single Axle and we only just fit on their pitches so I can understand why they don't allow them. We've booked and they haven't asked for a deposit.

We have booked Chalons En Champagne on the way back and they didn't ask for a deposit either, so if you want to book there you won't get charged a deposit.

We're then stopping at Camping La Chaumiere for a couple of nights before our return to the UK on 1st Sept.

You will be heading towards Annecy as we are heading home,  we usualy stop off at the municipal site at Auxeere. Its opposite the football ground,clean and friendly and has great walks along the river to get in the holiday mood.
