Well seeing as nobody has given you any specific info, I'll point out that there is no need to book in June which will allow you more choice. Dunno if you have been to the area but Lacanau is quite large & commercial, you might find it nicer up the coast a short way. Carcans & Hourtin Plage are nicer imho & a couple of miles above Hourtin is Le Pin-Sec, cheap campsite but possibly very quiet in June, all places mentioned are popular with surfy types.

My fave place is Montalivet a few miles above that. If you Google image the names you will get pics of the places to give you an idea.

If you just want an overnight stop theres no need to buy a camping guide. any town of any size will have a camping municipal & it will be signposted in the town. To give yourself a rough idea, check your route & google the name of any town you might want an overnight stop at, put in say, 'Chartres camping municipal' will bring up specific info.

Your route from Calais might be Calais, Abbeville, Rouen, Evereux, Chartres, Tours, Poitiers, Bordeaux & up to Hourtin. All good road & little toll. French toll roads need to be avoided with £/€ parity!

Hourtin campsite is v expensive tho. Pin Sec might be better!
