Check out my blog & you'll even see some pictures of a few. That's all I stayed on!
You won't find bars, restaurants, pools, kids clubs, water slides, supermarkets etc etc on them though, these are proper campsites. They are very cheap, the "sanitaires" are usually cleaned at least once daily, & generally have good toilets, showers, laundry sinks, washing up sinks & vanity sinks.
The idea is; you get cheap camping, but you go into the local town/village & spend some money.
A lot of them are un-manned, usually the Mairie or one of his counterparts comes along, once a day, to collect the money.
They don't take bookings, you just turn up, pick a pitch & set up camp. Which takes some getting used to, as it's not very British.
Long may it live on!
Oh yes, & all the ones I stayed on had hook-up, usually with both French & the blue plug types available. Although I didn't bother with that myself.

We stayed on a couple of crackers in August and September - the muncipal L'Ile de Rond, in St Pourcain sur Sioule, and the municipal Les Rouelle de Loups at Vatan, between Vierzon and Chateauroux - though both these had a manager in charge and both managers spoke some English. Both sites cost around 10 euros per night, for a nice big, flat pitch, including hook-up!
The shower cubicles in St Pourcain were eccentric, and looked like part of an old French film set, but the shower itself was one of the best ever. It wasn't on a push button, which a lot are, and you could adjust the temperature to suit yourself.
