Is it advisable to pre book sites in height of the season---- or can i drive /arrive and see?
I like to be free to wander where i want, then drive in to a nearby site from the sat nav :thumb:
Been going with kids all over France for past 15 yrs. never booked a site, only problem we ever had finding somewhere was on the med and when we got there we were glad we never stayed more than a night.... So It depends. Where you are off,
Strangely the smaller the site the easier it seems in our experience
We have been going to France for about 10 years last 5 with MH, when we had the caravan we used to book but have never booked a site since having MH it gives you the freedom to move on or stay longer depending on the weather. We have a 14 year old daughter and always take a friend or 2 with her.
We have been travelling to France in the school holidays for years with no booking. If you avoid the coastal areas and go inland a bit there is usually no problem. If you are desperate for a coastal site then arrive in the morning just as people are leaving and you will usually get in somewhere. Get a Michelin campsite book in France, that's got sites everywhere and pretty easy to navigate around although it's in French! Another tip is when you find a site avoid travelling the weekends in August, mid week gives you more of a chance. We stay on a lot of smaller municipal type sites which are usually great value for money.
