Folks I need help in finding a small/medium sized campsite for my daughter, son-in-law and their dog who are travelling to France at the start of September. It needs to have dog-friendly rental accommodation (mobile home, safari tent, or similar), be a max 5hr drive from Calais (any area considered), and preferably within walking distance of a village with basic amenities. A pool/river/lake would be a bonus but not necessary as would bicycle hire (and cycle paths). Hopefully all you dog lovers out there can help. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I would recommend Sable sur Sarthe, alongside the river short walk to the town along the river and a large sports field /hippodrome along side.
It has a small pool but may be shut in September very helpful staff very clean and tidy site and facilities.
Huttopia allow one dog per unit, and have a ‘back to nature’ ethos, often by rivers etc, and usually have a pool. We’ve stayed at Les Chateaux and Beaulieu so far, the latter being about 8hrs of comfortable driving, the former about 4-5. Both to be recommended.
Hope they have a great time.
Hi,
Would also recommend Huttopia Les Chateaux situated in the village of Bracieux with shops & restaurants. It’s in between Chambord & Cheverney, good bike rides to both,

If you're look for rental on the campsite rather than taking their own set up why not have a look for a dog-friendly cottage? There will be more choice and the price might not be too bad either.

Remember a good wife always helps her husband with the dishes.
Personally would recommend extending the 5 hours limit from Calais in Sept unless it's a one week holiday - you really need to get down south of the Loire - eg Dordogne.
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
