Hi

My husband and I are returning to camping ( after a good many years !!!), mainly because we want to share the experiences with our 6 year old daughter, ( I think she is almost as excited as us !!!).

We are planning on going to Western France next summer, so could anyone recommend some good sites with large pitches, fairly near the beach and with good evening entertaiment, (not too worried about the daytime as we will be sightseeing).

Also if anyone has any tips they would be gratefully appreciated.

thanks

Le Garangeoire at St Julien les Landes in the Vendee and Camping de la Baie at Trinite sur Mare in Southern Brittany both have large pitches. The latter is smack dab on the beach and has a nice sized pool. Bar/cafe/restaurant twixt site and beach.

When booking you must stress your needs because large pitches don't necessarily come routinely and get booking SOON. Don't leave it until after Christmas 'cos you could well wind up disappointed. Thousands of people book year on year and take all the plum pitches leaving only the dross for latecomers.

We went to La Guyonniere...

yes, the pitches are fantastically large, but it isn't "close to the beach" and the evening entertainment was pretty poor imo.

As French pitches tend to be larger on average than english pitches IMO I would concentrate less on pitch size and more on the location and facilities you require.
