The search goes on! The younger half of the family (2 adults and three kids 10 and under) are now looking at a holiday in the Loire Valley, partly because it's easier for them to fly to Tours and hire a car there than hire a car in the UK and travel by ferry. We will join them in our motorhome and have been looking for suitable sites.
So far so good - but they are not that keen on 'roughing it' in a static so I'm wondering if we could find a site that also has gites on it - I feel that if they Air BNB we will be driving somewhere every day to find something for them to do, plus we'd like them to experience a French campsite . I think there are a couple of Castels sites that do this, but any other suggestions gratefully received !
Oh and it's for early July !

Have a look at the campsites run by the Huttopia group - for instance their Lac de Rillé site, but there are others. There are no Gites, but the variety of good looking furnished wooden cabins might be suitable for your family. They are scattered in pretty natural surroundings, unlike the serried ranks of static caravans on old fashioned sites. Does that help?

Having used mobile homes / cabins / gites on sites in France (and twice in Italy) for the best part of twenty years I'd say that in terms of space and facilities there isn't much to choose between them.

The most important thing to me was a covered (by a roof - not umbrellas) outside space were people can sit / dine comfortably. We used to spend the majority of time on site (when not in bed) outside.

Same at home in the Dordogne now - from May to Sept when at home will spend most of the day and evening on our covered terrace unless the temperature gets into the high 30's and over.

Le Chant D’Oiseau does camping and gites. Look at its excellent reviews on here. It’s a big favourite for us. North of Saumur.
