Hi - as Franbee says, have a look at www.campingcard.co.uk for details.  Sites in four bands, 10, 12, 14 or 16 euros - and this buy the pitch package for two people.  Dates are usually outside peak season, but French peak season is much much shorter than the peak season in this country, and some sites accept the card until mid-July and then again from about mid-August.  There is usually quite a significant saving on the 'normal' site tariff on certain dates - last year we saved 26 euros per night for a couple of our dates, and then about 12 euros per night for the remaining dates!  Some sites are 7 nights for the price of 6, or 14 nights for 11, or even 30 nights for 21, using the ACSI card too!

Definitely worth having if you're travelling outside mid-July to mid-August - and the sites you want accept the card, of course!

Depending on which way we're going & if we want to get through Rouen in the evening or morning we stay at Camping St Claire - as mentioned - or the municpal at Bernay;

Just had a look around the area & Camping St Nicolas seems good as well;

Hi,

We are thinking of our first caravan holiday in France for this year. The area we have in mind is the Loire Valley.

We went there last year without the van and we are sure we want to have an overnight stop with the van.

I am thinking somewhere around Rouen would be good but a little closer to Calais would be fine.

It would be the same on the way back.

Any suggestions of where to stop are welcome.

Thanks,
