I've got two weeks left of my 7 , currently in ilse sur la sourge which is fantastic , loved St Remy second time there , can you name anywhere similar i.e. A bit of life but not huge ( done Lourmarin which was beautiful and Gordes , Aups , Apt , lac st croix which was awesome to name a few) just looking for suggestions with a motorhome and electric bikes rather than a car so needs easy camping with a cycle to some life but not to big like Avignon, thanks

Vaison la Romaine, market Tues morning, Carpentras, market Fri. Both have campsites. Fontaine de Vaucluse is interesting, but we went at a weekend and it was rammed with traffic and people.
Save a day for Crest on your way north, that's one of our favourites too, and a good campsite.

Slightly further up in the Enclave de Vaucluse, try Valréas.
A small compact town, loads of activity in the main square, good flat(ish) cycling in the area, about 12km away is Nyons with its Thursday market (bigger and better than that at Apt), marvellous Cooperative for wine and olives.
Campsite in walking distance of town centre

Not quite as far as Stuart's suggestion isCamping Le Bregoux: http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=17886
We've only been in the off-peak season, but the pitches are large and for this year they were adding a swimming pool. Cycling is good from there, with some marked routes to follow. It's possible to cycle to Carpentras, we've done it a few times.

Not sure where in Provence you want to go but we LOVED the Luberon. We based ourselves in Gordes, well bout a 1/4 mile outside at Domaine De Sources.

Lovely campsite...great views. Perfect to walk into town.
Brilliant for visiting the 'golden' triangle of Curcuron, OPede etc.
Definitely going back, maybe next year.
