DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE- GOOD OR BAD-  OF CAMPSITES ABROAD WITH READY-ERECTED TENTS SUCH AS THOSE DEALT WITH BY EUROCAMP AND THOMSON ALFRESCO??

I AM CERTAIN I CAME BY SOME REALLY CHEAP LAST MINUTE PACKAGE DEALS FOR CAMPING ABROAD LAST YEAR ON THE INTERNET BUT CANNOT REMEMBER WHICH SITES- DOES ANYONE KNOW?

I think you will find that many of us on here first discovered camping by way of Eurocamp etc. It was certainly the case for us: after two brilliant family holidays staying in Eurocamp tents, we were total converts and went out and bought our first trailer tent. That was over twenty years ago, we have the trailer tent has been replaced by a caravan, but we still love our campsite holidays.

I believe Leisure Direction was mentioned a while ago as offering very cheap deals and several people spoke highly of them.

We stopped using Eurocamp after the tent leaked all night onto our son's bed and when we asked for help we were just given a roll of tape to fix it ourselves. Not exactly what I would call good customer service especially when we had paid such an exhorbitant price. You just can't beat taking your own gear with you.

A lot of French sites let out their own erected tents direct. If you are not concerned about the security and ease of booking everything with one company then I would price the ferry and booking directly with the site.

We've used many of them and had happy holidays - usually in static mobile homes.

Siblu (used to be Haven Europe) and Canvas Holidays are also reputable - as are Keycamp and Eurocamp who are both owned by the same parent (but sometimes only 1 is on a site).

We have also booked direct with good quality sites and found this to be cheaper, but usually you need to book very early to get the main holiday periods.

We love France and will be in Frejus again this year for 2 weeks at Camping La Baume
