We are driving from Calais- Dordogne but I am struggling to find somewhere we can stop for just one night in a static or pre-erected tent (ours is a bit big to put up for a single night). We don't need a big place with lots of facilities, but somewhere clean that we can get a bite to eat and lay our heads down for the night! (2 adults and two children aged 8 and 4) Thought about booking an hotel, but we would like to be next to the car and the camping equipment in the trailer so that we can keep an eye on it. 

Can anyone suggest where we could stop for the night, perhaps near Orleans or similar?

Thanks in advance.

PS I I agree with Tenz.

We used to do an overnight in a hotel, until we bought the pop ups....we now only take the large pop ups and use them as a modular system. (Decathlon -Quechua seconds base X 2).

we used to take a canvas bungalow Hartford XL fab tent but really doesn't suit our needs now.We used to argue a lot when pitching and to be honest it was too big. At least with pop ups, you pitch one for a one night stop or both for a few days.

The tents were costly, but paid for themselves in one trip.

Really love Decathlon tents, just wih they'd get their act together with the accessories :)
