Has anyone ever been on holiday with them?
They certainly look nice.

I don't know which parts of France are nice, or which the weather is best etc etc.....

[Entwood]

Been on many sites that have eurocamp on them ...

France is a big and beautiful place ... what do you want to do ?? If you want sea and sand.. the Vendee coast, sea and rocks and fantastic food .. Brittany, Rivers and Chateauxs, and good food,... Loire Valley, fantastic mountains and rivers... Tarne Valley

and so it goes on .. and on .. and on ..

I ain't into sight seeing yet I'm afraid, so the nicer weather and swimming pools would suit us 
Not sure to drive or get the ferry most of the way to cut some driving down

Went there about 1984 and saw the Spanish Riding School
They were brilliant

i think it would be nicer if you had someone to share the driving, if weather is good, nothing like going round mountains in the summer. we travelled to yugo by coach, scenery was fantastic

the wife keeps getting the brochures from eurocamp int post and im tempted to look into it and if anyones done it some feedback would be appreciated

My first and last experience of driving abroad was turning left in Majorca to find some clown on the wrong side of the road making me go up a grass verge

But what really finished my off was Mrs. Loo-knee asking the recieption guy "Where is a nice place to go?" he then pointed to a place on the map which was our next stop....... Driving up mountains on the wrong side of the road, with a million foot drops, gaps in tiny walls with bunches of flowers instead of stones  then a "Pap, Pap" ....a Bus flying around the blind corners that I thought was going to push us to our death :-?
We arrived in one piece to the most gorgeous place, where I prayed for my Mum to drive us back

Most sites have pools these days, for decent weather, on the coast Southern Vendee - La Tranche Sur Mer or Les Sables D'Olonne

Inland .. anywhere south of the Loire really ...

Ferry wise .. my preferred crossing is Portsmouth - St Malo overnight .. then a nice drive down the west through Nantes (fantastic bridge over the Loire) keeping OFF the motorways ... French main roads are so good you don't need the boredom of motorways .. much more fun on the original roads IMHO

Looking at the France - southern vendee part of that site .. I've stayed in several of those towns

La Tranche ... Full of tourists .. and caters for them.. . gets a bit frustrating

St Julien des Landes ... really quiet, rural place (good bakery though!!) about 20 minute drive to the coast. we actually visited that site from where we were having made some friends in town .. huge site with just about everything you need.

St Jean Des Monts .. right by the coast, roads get a bit busy, lots of nice bars and restaurants

From any of those places it is an easy drive to one of the massive LeClerc hypermarkets for shopping, which is always cheaper than buying "on site"

That part of France is an easy trip down from St Malo in a day .. even with the 'van on the back .. so solo its no problem .

Driving in France is so much more pleasant than over here, purely because the traffic is much lighter and the roads are much better than ours these days. - IMHO.

Camp sites are generally good IMHO. If you're looking for chains of decent camp sites I can recommend Les Castells.

We stay at this one when we go to Le Mans and it's idyllic http://www.camping-castels.co.uk/camping-le-chateau-de-chanteloup-id253-id_camping9.html
