Sites are likely to be very quiet at Easter in France, although Easter is late this year.  We've been on sites at Spring Bank Holiday (British bank holiday) where we've been one of only ten units on a site with 250 pitches!   There may be a few French visitors over the holiday weekend itself, but otherwise you may find it too quiet. 

Check that all facilities are open, too.  Often things like swimming pools have quite a short opening season.

Easter is not the traditional start of the season in France as it is here in the UK. It is almost impossible to find a pitch in this country at Easter unless you have booked months in advance but in France most sites dont bother opening until mid May. It would seem that camping at Easter does not appeal to continental campers and caravanners.

We've been to Koningshof in Holland at Easter for a number of years now. The site is always pretty full, mainly of older retired couples, but the presence of Eurocamp generally means a scattering of children. The indoor pool is always open and we've been very fortunate with the weather and have always managed to spend a few days on the beach -fleece hoodies for the kids, we've sat at the beach cafe with coffees.

 

I believe that Duinrell is always pretty busy at Easter too.

Montsabert in August was full, but because of the amount of space on the site it did not feel overcrowded. Would imagine it would be really nice at Easter.

Our Spring holiday will straddle Easter so I'm pleased to hear that sites won't be crowded, we go for quiet anyway.

How about Dunreill in Holland at Easter. Not too far and if you go around the Easter weekend the fair opens up. We went last Easter and it was fairly busy but certainly not crowded. It has some good reviews on here.
