I`m thinking of booking a camping trip down to France for August / September this year.

I would appreciate any suggestions where to go for a decent family site where we will have a good chance of getting some sun on our backs !!!

Any suggestions would be welcome.......thanks

This August we are off to les castels Chateau martragny in Normandy for starters. Its a great campsite and we went last year also, you can fish while watching the kids on the park or in the swimming pool. For hope of a bit of sunshine we are then off to la rochelle on the Atlantic coast at Village de la Guyonnière.

I suppose it depends how long you are going for and how long you are prepared to drive. There are some fantastic sites in the Dordogne, and the Ardeche can be very hot in summer. we are going to head for the Med!
