Hi, we are travelling to the South of France in a Motorhome in October and wondered if anyone could recommend a nice Camping site with a lake for swimming.  No children so not to bothered about lots of entertainment etc,. We will probably stop a few days in the Avignon region and then on to Cote D'Azur.  All reccomdations gratefully received.

In the South of France at the moment but most sites closed up at the end of September. The one we are on along with most of the rest close on the 14 October which is when we take the ferry home.

There will be a few sites open but it gets cooler by the week, if you have the time I would consider doing a few more miles down to Spain.

Thanks for your replies - all info gratefully received.

Yes river swimming most acceptable.

The site Ile du Papes, on the island at Avignon is open in October, and takes Camping Cheques (www.campingcheque.co.uk).  There are fifty Camping Cheques sites open until the end of October in France - several in Provence area.  Just search under dates for 29th October to 31st October, and then you'll get a list of sites.

From the Camping Cheques website: Campasun Parc Mogador at Sanary sur Mer, Camping de la Brise in the Camargue, Camping Manjastre near Bormes les Mimosas, Camping Saint Gabrielle in the Alpilles near Beaucaire, Kawan Village Cros du Mouton at Cavalaire (lovely views) and La Pinede near Grimaude.

Not many near a lake, but plenty near to beaches - sea should still we warm, we've been in the sea in Collioure on the 11th November!
