Yep, France has something to offer for all types of campers, since 1962 I have mostly been to the Cote d Azur, and this year July will be no exception.
We did 3 years going to the Southern Ardeche, loved it but I yearned for the Med, so much so we did a day trip, from Aubenas to Le Grau du Roi, now that was a beach in more ways than one!.
Did Argeles Sur Mer one year, superb beach, and well Sunny.
For 2016 though we plan to break from tradition, and I am currently looking at campsites between Beziers and Castres, a nice quiet 3 Star campsite with no animations would suit us.
Planning a camping holiday in France, is all part of the fun.
One of the chaps at work was asking me if my camping holidays to France are abta protected, I just sighed!

Hi Caravanningcrew, we did France in winter during Xmas-NY. We have 3 kids age 7-10. We decided to drive a motorhome. As there are plenty of choices, we planned ours around Paris and Disneyland. Our campsite is standard but its the location that was ideal. We mapped out distance to each POI in Paris that kids would like to visit and distance to Disneyland. From Carlisle, its 3 hours drive to campsite called Le Beau Village, web: Le-beau-village at wanadoo.fr. Everyday we woke up and walk over to the train station that took us to all the locations we have chosen like, Eiffel Tower, De Louvre, Notre Damme etc. Everything is mapped out clearly in their train's map which you mark before hand and off you go, its simple plus we had a fantastic outing of each town where the POI is located. We were very impressed with the layout of Paris train stations. The campsite owner is as helpful as he can be and friendly despite us not speaking French. Disneyland is more a less an hour drive from here. We camped in the motorhome outside Disneyland dedicated camper's area which was fab as you're actually there without further travel...with kids, if you know what I mean. There's a block of standard toilets and showers, 20euros per night, we pack our sandwiches, drinks as it can be expensive, stayed 3 nights until park closed as we didn't need any coaches/buses to get home, treated ourselves in the Hollywood Restaurant which kids loved and yes, we would do it again. To save time and make the best of it, spend a day in each park and not go back and forth, plan and mark all the areas you want first as some rides can be long queue, so do the short ride in between. Look out for Disneyland ticket offer online as it saves plenty and do book any restaurant offers alongside. Tesco token for Eurotunnel, Folkstone-Calais saves a lot. I hope these helps as this is travel via motorhome. Happy to help and good luck planning.

Mmm...I think I am happy! Always ask my kids and friends as its key to everything! As a family of 5, camping and motorhoming have been the most treasured sanity to our getaways, rain or shine as abroad holidays are costly. I am happy to share our experience with all lovely humanbeans outhere :)
