Hi all
Having just taken receipt of a nearly new Eriba, our second, we enthusiastically started to plan trip to France. I have spent the last hour or more trawling the CAMC and C&C sites plus many others like Castels and Luxcamp websites for what appear to be reliable locations in Brittany. It seems that there are numerous issues with most of them - missing or broken facilities, cramped pitches, disinterested and/or rude staff etc. Many dont even seem to accommodate caravans ! Does anyone have any recommendations ?
Secondly i have also heard that the French authorities can make it uncomfortable for UK caravaners - is this correct ?

Any guidance gratefully received

Many thanks

Buy the ACSI card, comes with booklets listing campsite inspected by them selves. Card gives discounts for out of main season pitches but use the books to identify campsites in the area you want to visit unless you are travelling in peak season there is usually no need to book in advance We will be over there in June and wont book in advance except for our favourite site which we know from past experience is very popular

Hi. I live in Brittany so maybe I can help. The first thing to say is that the French have no interest whatsoever in making life difficult for British tourists. I don't know where this idea comes from. Sigh.

Secondly, Brittany is big. Where would you like to go? Do you like to be by the sea? In forests? Are you interested in the myths and legends of Brittany?Do you want a campsite with views, swimming pools? Quiet and peaceful? Which ferry port will you be arriving at? I'll do my best to help :))

Our experience in over 30 years of camping in Brittany has never been less than positive - just in case you're feeling isolated in flying the flag for the French :)

I would rather camp in France than pretty much anywhere else. I suspect I may not be alone in that view. One word of advice. Do try and get a little bit of French. I do wonder whether when people report bad experiences it is as a result of the expectation that everyone speaks English. SImple phrases as Hello, please and thank you can go a long way. Politeness with the use of Madame or Monsieur will also help. The effort alone will be appreciated...

As far as recommendations as to campsites, it all depends on what sort of place you are looking for. Me, I love small Municipals. other may look for flume pools and a pizzeria. Just depends...

Many years ago we camped at the Camping International de la Hallerais - just outside Dinan - and had a great time. Then it was on the Caravan Club list of European sites. It still seems to rate good reviews online. Dinan itself is stunning. Have been there a number of times over the years. And it's not far from Dinard and St Malo on the coast - again lovely places. it's always good to camp some way inland in high season - much less crowded!
