We are currently sitting in the ferry terminal going to Cherbourg. Not expecting heat though. 22 at the highest.
The site we are going to is only 15 km from the port, has a flume, indoor and outdoor pool and a beach. Bit out of the way though.
L'anse du Brick.

If you want to go just over into Brittany, big site and without being rude you do get the sun vouchers people staying here, so not everyone's cup of tea.

Graeme just bear in mind that Normandy has similar weather patterns to much of south of UK. It is also a very green and pleasant area of France and areas only stay green because of one thing !
Not said to put you off but many think as soon as they cross the channel they will be in Med type temperatures and wall to wall sunshine (wasn't sure if your heat comment was in jest or not!)
If weather is really important top you you may need look a lot further south or possibly west coast for more sunshine and warmer average temps
Normandy and Brittany have a lot to offer for holidays and many wonderful places to go and see but do be realistic about weather (especially Normandy)
good luck with your planning - there are a HUGE number of different campsites in France as you will find out!

Well, we are back and got heat. Only two nights of rain. Unfortunatley the second night was before we left so drying the tent out again.
The locals did say that the chances of good unbroken weather are slim but judging by the parched surroundings, Normandy has had a good spell of sunshine.
L'Anse du Brick was excellent, by the way.
