Hi everyone, we are relatively new to camping, had a few trips this year successfully, but really want to try out France next year hopefully, any tips, hints, ideas, pitfalls, experiences would be greatly appreciated to help our decision thanks :)
by the way we are a family of 2 adults, 3 kids that would be aged 11, 13 and 16 next year, with a regular car and trailer and Outwell tent with hookup...if that helps

If your looking for the best of the weather during July/August head South, and for outstanding weather go South East, and down to the Med.
Going of your location you may want to do one of the Western ferry crossings, Newhaven-Dieppe would save the torturous drive down to Dover, although not cheap at £300 return for car+trailer for the 4 hour crossing, of which there are only 2 per day each way.
Although Dover-Dunkerque crossings are tempting, we paid just £88 return (£44 each way) for car+trailer for our July crossing which takes just a couple of hours at most.
The NEC show is coming up next month, and there are show offers on for ferry crossings with codes posted on here,so no need to visit the show.
Plenty of campsite reviews on here, also look at the Zoover the Dutch are mad on camping in France, another good resource is ACSI we have there ID Camping Card (Camping Carnet) which we hand in at the campsite reception instead of our passport, when we are on a ACSI listed campsite.

Thanks all, I was wondering what this ACSI card was, seen it mentioned here before, to be fair I haven't thoroughly looked into it yet, I do intend to, just thought I'd ask you lovely people first for first hand experiences.
The drive isn't too much of a problem, the OH is a driver and used to long distance so he's happy to drive to Dover, we were advised to try the Loire valley or Brittany first, is there weather there not as good?
We would like a beaceh nearby but it's not a deal breaker, and not so bothered about fancy facilities, if we can hook up electric, shower and use a loo with nice scenery we are pretty happy :)
Must start to research.....
