French campsites vary so much that we have only listed
some we have enjoyed staying at, mostly for one or two nights.
Booking in at small municipal sites can be difficult. Its best to arrive
around 4 to 6pm when the guardien is likely to be in the office, or he/she may call round to each pitch sometime in the evening or morning. You
normally pay on arrival. There are sometimes signs in quaint English
giving details of the charges and the address of the Mairie (town hall).
Most of the sites we have visited were unsupervised except when the office
was open and also situated in public parks by the local plan d'eau
(bathing and fishing lake) with public access, and usually in walking distance of the town for buying
provisions.
