We camp on/at rivers/lakes as often as possible so that boats can be launched from site if possible.
If you'd like to browse through my reviews section you should find plenty ...

For a riverside site I suggest the Dordogne - there are all sorts of sites along the river bank ranging from simple municipal sites up to commercial five star places, and you don’t say what you want to pay.
For lakes you can look at the Massif Central area south west of Clermont Ferrand - that area is peppered with lakes and almost every lake has campsites - being higher up it will be cooler there than the Dordogne, but wetter too. Once again the campsites cover a wide price range. So your choice.

Big sites, good for teens, or smaller sites for parents? There are lots of sites, (of both types) along the Dordogne river. Have a look at Soleil Plage, or the site next door La Bouysse - both have great river access. However, even there it can get very hot in mid-summer. Or look at Les Alicourts at Pierrefitte, just south of Orleans, which has a small lake, plenty of other lakes all around, and is in the middle of a forest for lots of different dog walks.

Les Valades in the Dordogne and Sunelia Ribeye in Murol are two that spring to mind. Both have a private onsite lake to swim and pools too.

Camping Le Lac d'Orient near Troyes would fit the bill.
