We are hoping to have our first (10 day) break in France towards the end of August, just wondering if any one has any recommendations for sites.

We are looking for somewhere not too far from Cherbourgh (2-3 hrs drive), hook ups, plenty space (we don't like being too crammed in and it's a big tent), somewhere my 4 yr old can have a splash around (pool, sea or lake). We're not bothered about on-site entertainment, prefering a more relaxing environment, ideally with something within walking distance (with a 4 yr old!) with a few shops bars/restaurants etc.

Has anyone got any suggestions?

We stayed here a couple of years ago.  Had a lovely time, plenty of fun things for the children to do, near town but very peaceful surroundings.

We did France recently for the first time ( admittedly in a hired static ) , and must say that the standard of facilities in even the municiple sites would put many a site to shame in the UK .I can not give a specific recommendation , but Normandy is very anglophilic . I don't know if you have booked your ferry yet , but Portsmouth to Le Harve was a good crossing on the fast cat . The roads are good , tolls are worth the payment . Hopefully we will be camping late season across the water , but with a trip to Disney , might have to wait til next year .

Be seeing you!!
