Simoman 110 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Several times mate, in various place, my favourite place is around Biscarosse in Aquataine, south of Bordeaux, plenty of freshwater lakes with beaches for swimming, great campsites and the beach isn't too far a drive.............

Simoman 110 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I have flown there in an hour but normally drive and spread it out over 2 days with a stop over. I always pre booked just to ensure there are spaces available http://www.biscarrosse.co.uk/Campsite Les Ecureuils is a site i stayed at a couple of times, can't remember the names of the other sites off the top of my head........

spade 224 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Benodet area is fantastic, stayed at Point St Gilles but there are plenty of sites around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonah. 775 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 try UKcampsite.co.uk, they have facility to search european campsites and reviews from people that have stayed there. they've got a forum an all, never used it, but would imagine there will be some folk who have done just what your planning.
