driving down to meet daughter between barcelona and valencia during spring b/h week from calais any suggestions on halfway hotel and good campsite for 1 week many thanks, 2 kids 7&15 and wife!

Cambrils Park, near Salou - takes Camping Cheques, (see www.campingcheque.co.uk for details if you haven't heard of them) and under 12s are free, so you'll pay only £13.40 for a pitch for two, car and caravan or tent, awning, and electricity,  plus a supplement for the 15 year old.  It's a fabulous site with everything you need - good sized pitches, two really good pool complexes, on-site supermarket, restaurant and take away, bar and low-key evening entertainment by professionals.  It's a big site, but nicely divided into 'areas' and additionally is also near the beach, and walking distance into Cambrils and Salou (but also a good local bus service all the way between the two). 

Otherwise, if you want a French site, have a look at what's available on the Camping Cheque website.  Loads more sites, and you can see a brief overview of what's available at each.  La Dragonniere at Vias is also a Camping Cheque site, near Montpellier, and four people can stay for the price of a Camping Cheque, so again very good value. 

Greetings,

Did you want a halfway hotel between UK and Barcelona or between Barca and Valencia?

If you are looking for an overnight stop next to a motorway route where you just need an overnight bag and a basic continental breakfast try  Formule1......I have used them on a couple of occasions to and from the South of France and found them very handy.
