Just booked Ferry with NorfolkLine, Dover to Dunkerque for £81 return in August.
Not bad.
Got an idea for a campsite near the Seine, not far from that cottage I mentioned before or may try up on the coast to let kids play on beach.
May even get to Vernon .

This is doing my head in looking for campsites.
We've a huge tent and want seperate WC blocks, not alot to ask.
Pitches too small or mixed toilet blocks etc.
Don't the French do a BIG field with WC for men or women not both?
Anyone got any recommendations?

At the moment top two choices are at Fecamp,
Domaine de Reneville : camping tente caravane et location de chalets

or near Etretat.
ETRETAT CAMPING 3 ETOILES PISCINE MOBIL-HOME LOCATION NORMANDIE HEBERGEMENT SEINE-MARITIME FECAMP AIGUILLE CREUSE PLAGE CAMPAGNE CARAVANING FALAISE - Camping l'Aiguille Creuse - Bienvenue

Close to seaside for kids, hour & 3/4 from Vernon.
Or half hour to hour for St Valery en Caux.
Not too bad.

Like the look of the one at Etretat Owen, it'll be a nice drive down from Dunkerque as well

ps hoping to get to St Manvieu later this month

Cheers Steve.
Etretat looks flatter, Fecamp has better view.
Just hope they not full in August.
Thanks for getting to St Manvieu.

Owen,

As I said looks good, 2 hourish drive from Dunkerque.

Have a great time

I'm all booked up for my place in late June, and I am spending a night in Ieper on the way home

Steve

Instead of Vernon, (which when we looked at it we were glad we didn't stay there ) we stayed at this one in Les Andelys, on the very banks of the Seine.
Totally recommend this site.
Good swimming pool, huge pitches, just a few stand-up and squat toilets for when the sit down ones are taken.
Mind your feet when you flush.

Looks decent enough, Owen (but....is there a bar?). Pretty quiet for August?

One for me to bear in mind for the near future I think. I don't suppose you noticed whether my "camping - le cimitiere" is still going at Veules-les-Roses when you were in the vicinity, did you?
