Can anyone help please, we are looking for quality campsites that would suit middle aged couple, no children, near the sea preferably.

Is it best to drive from Calais or catch a ferry down. Bearing in mind cost and time, we have 2 weeks in September. Thank you.

Thank you Anne,

Might seem like a silly question but what is an ACSI card, as you can probably tell we are newbies to this !

ACSI Card website is www.campingcard.co.uk - and despite Warbis' warning about children, you really rarely see them on French campsites outside school holidays.  There might be the odd Dutch couple with a baby or toddler, but few others.

We holiday every year at that time, and don't even think about 'choosing' a site - we go where the weather is best and find a site in that area - sometimes this is inland, because there are many beautiful lake and riverside campsites in France, as well as those by the sea. We buy a paper when we arrive in France and head in the direction of the best four day weather forecast, stay whilst the weather is good and we're enjoying ourselves, and move on if things change.

You really don't need to book and Europe is your Oyster!
