France - camping in the north- tips please!

[AnnieT]

Hi there,

We are going to France travelling by motorhome this summer- so aiming to stay at a campsite near Bordeaux.

As it?s our first time in a motor home we want to take our time heading south. Does anyone have any recommendations of nice campsites in the north (between Calais and Caen) for us to stop in - on the way and on the way back? We are wanting to avoid travelling via Paris!

Many thanks!

La Bien Assise is just by Calais, if you're looking for a site with a great beach, there is a small one in the centre of Wissant (not stayed there as we don't have a motor home, but it's in a good spot).

Not sure if this would on your way but my in-laws live near Br?lon and there is a camping site by a lake near the town.

It's nothing fancy but seems family friendly. We've taken our goddaughter to play at the park and paddle around the lake.

There's a wonderful campsite in Calais National park- about 30 mins from the Eurotunnel in a beautiful location.

Chateau de Gandspette.

We've stayed there two years in a row and I am quite a fussy camper. It is gorgeous, lovely on site restaurant with great pizza and wine. No fuss. There is a lovely clean outdoor swimming pool.

There is a great campsite in a small village near Caen called Saint Aubin sur Mer.

The village itself has a lovely beach and its along the coast of the d-day beaches so you can even pack in a little sight seeing en route too!

Highly recommended.
