monty the motorhome Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Bearing in mind the fact that there are far more motorhomes around now, does anyone feel the need to book ahead at campsites in france, not just through the peak months? :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malc d Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 monty the motorhome - 2010-01-13 10:45 PM Bearing in mind the fact that there are far more motorhomes around now, does anyone feel the need to book ahead at campsites in france, not just through the peak months? :-S There are also plenty of sites in France, plus Aires, plus France Passion sites, so I think it is not yet necessary to book anywhere. I have never booked anything in France. Might be necessary in 4 star sites on the Med I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Jones Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 The Med in August is the only place/time where ther might be a problem, btu even there you'll find somewhere if you're not too fussy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Have only booked ahead once and that was in the 1970's when we wanted a specific pitch on a site in the south of France. Have never booked anywhere in advance since or in any month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo3090 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 The only things we book at least 24 hours in advance are the ferry and the vets in Calais. Everything else is done either on the day or at reception. That way we are free to come and go as we please. Which is the main reason of getting the van in the first place! I do appreciate we are lucky though and some people who are tied to time with holidays might need to structure things a little bit more. Poor sods! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I think anywhere near water, be that the sea or a lake, it is advisable to book in advance in high season. by example the site we like in Italy can be fully booked over the winter for the following summer. If not that fussy you will always find somewhere :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertandjean Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Forget campsites, use the great French aires network, backed up with Franc Passion sites as and when, and you will have agreat time enjoying the true freedom of motorhoming!
