Camping holidays

Hi,
Sorry I'm new to all this so you will have to bear with me. I am looking at booking our family holiday next year, we are planning on going to france with the kids and i was wondering if anyone could make any suggestions.
My wife has been looking at a website called gocampfrance.co.uk. Has anyone used it or can anyone suggest any other ones to use.

Cheers:beer:

    ukcampsite.co.uk would be a useful place to start and use their forums on the going abroad section
  • Alan Rogers guides are always useful, I've found.

    We have camped in France with our family for years and years. Would highly recommend the Michelin guide to campsites - website and book/guide you can buy, just google for Michelin campsites in France.

    But don't bother booking ahead. Apart from city centre sites, there are nearly always spaces and if by chance a campsite is full, there will be another one not too far away, the French love camping. There are so many excellent campsites in France, you will be spoilt for choice, and the Michelin guide ones are always good. We used to decide which bit of France we wanted to go to, book our ferry accordingly and have some idea where we thought we might stay on the first night and then take it from there.
    Stay flexible and a little bit of French is useful for booking in etc.

    Good luck.
