Have you looked at Northern Spain - there are great campsites, with direct access to the beach. As the bay of Rosas is mainly a national park, it is relatively undevelopped - however the campsites are better than any I have stayed in France. Only 30 mins from the French boarder, about 2.5 hours drive from Montpellier or Toulouse:

Look at the following

Camping Aquarius (my choice) http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=9825

Las Dunas http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=7051/

Balena Alegre 2 http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=8168

Nautic Almata http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=9824

Huw my friends are fine. mattsurf next year i plan to go to northern spain will keep that list. This year we are driving from cherbourg so its too far. Next year i plan to fly with my camping equipment, we 'll see what ryan air make of that.

When going to Spain, Cherbourg is my prefered crossing. We take the 7am Poole Cherbourg Ferry, arrive in Cherbourg at 11am (give or take a bit) Drive for 3 hours, stop for 2 hours, drive until 7pm - you should be 1 hour north of Bordeaux. Next day drive to Carcasson for Lunch, leave Carcasson by 2pm, arrive at campsite around 4pm. 

In the past, when the kids were younger (now 6, 8 and 11) my wife flew with the kids and I drove, in this case, the drive can be easily done in 24 hours with a 3 or 4 hour stop over for a sleep

Christine, could you email me details of that site in the Somme you were talking about the other night? My email is nutgone at yahoo.co.uk (just in case this site filters that out it's my user name, at yahoo followed by dot co dot uk).
I can't remember when you said you were going to be there, but I'm going to book my ferry ticket very soon, thinking about mid-week sometime around the 14th July. I just wanted somewhere not too far from Calais, & have it all booked so I can get there & settle for a few days before I set off on my adventure.
Thanks,
Matt.

Hi Folks!

Have you tried Camping Grande Vigne ID7214 in the Poitou Charentes area? It's only a small campsite but very nice & quiet - just what you need to re-charge your batteries! Has a lovely shower room and a nice above-ground pool. I know for sure they have some pitches available throughout July and some during certain dates in August.
