Hi everyone, Im looking for some advice on reccomended campsites to stay for 1 night on route from Calais to La Tranche Sur Mer for next July (2011).

I will be booking a return trip on the Euro tunnel to Calais, where I will then have a 400 mile trip to La tranche in the Vendee. Im guessing it will be a 7 - 8 hour run in my VW Transporter with a couple of stops for my two children.

Ideally I would like to get the majority of the journey done in the first day leaving a 2 -3 hour trip the next day.

Does anyone have any reccomended campsite(s) that would suit a family of four with young children aged 6 and 4 staying in a camper with awning. We are not looking for a big lively site but something which has good facilities with a bar and some amenities close by.

Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Andy.

Thanks for the replys. Thats given me a good starting point. Hevster if you could provide some feedabck on your return it would be appreciated, once again thanks for the advice so far.

There are at least 3 municiples between Rouen & Le Mans which you should be able to reach reasonably comfortably. We've stayed at the municiples at Bernay & Sees & found them brilliant for a stop over.

I can't find a link for the Sees campsite, but it is called Le Clos Normand.

& Beaumont sur Sarthe which we haven't used but is well recommended;
