There are no 'best' areas which suit everyone.  Each person likes different things. Almost all regions of France have beautiful countryside, villages, and plenty of things to do and see, and which you'll find the best depends very much on what you like doing and seeing.

We like wild countryside, fast flowing rivers, gorges, and wildlife,so we love the Gorges du Tarn, Ardeche and some parts of Provence.  Others like the slower flowing rivers such as the lower parts of the Loire, the Dordogne and the Lot.  Lots of people like the beaches of the Vendee, and others Brittany and northern France. We don't particularly like cities, where others love visiting historic buildings, galleries, and churches, so love campsites with good city access.

 Because France has everything, and for the most part it's not necessary to book in advance except for the larger 'holiday' campsites, you can just meander around until you find areas and sites to suit you.
