*Camping in France* Camp sites provide the cheapest way to holiday in France and can be very comfortable with excellent facilities. You can book your French camp site through a travel company or deal direct with the camp site. We list our favourites here . Camping is great if you are looking for entertainment, both during the day and in the evenings. On the other hand you may not have a great deal of privacy and may be disturbed by noise from other campers. If you have your own tent, trailer tent or caravan then there is a massive range of camping sites to choose from. If not, don't despair, many travel companies provide mobile homes or pre-assembled tents.	*Saving Money:* Out of season you can get incredibly good value through travel companies. In season you may get a better deal by dealing direct with the campsite. Although the bigger travel operators have their own tents/mobile homes, often the site owners have their own accommodation to rent as well.	Camping & Caravan Sites in the Dordogne

	*Campsite Guides:* Alan Rogers’ “Good Camps Guide – France” is worth buying. We’ve never been disappointed by a campsite they list. Michelin publish the “Guide Camping Caravanning France” with more than 3000 campsites listed! Be choosy to get a good one.

*Online Campsites:* Select from online camp site guides and travel companies offering superb ready on arrival tented accommodation.

Camping with a difference

Thinking of a camping holiday this year – why not try ‘glamping’. By mixing the words glamorous and camping a new concept has emerged called - ‘glamping’. This term has been around for a couple of years and is used to describe a somewhat more upmarket type of camping holiday - think Mongolian style yurts or tree cabins rather than the average canvas tent. In addition these are often environmentally ‘green’ places to stay.

Yurts: Holidays in yurts can be found at www.lecamp.co.uk or www.canvaschic.com. An alternative to B & B’s (Chambres d’hotes) is the Yourte and Breakfast. A google search of Yurts in France will reveal many more possibilities.

Tree cabins: Keycamp have tree houses on 9 of their sites. Also check out www.montozarbres.com/cabanes.php or B & B in a tree house at www.orionbb.com near St Paul de Vence in the south of France.

Roulettes: In addition, gipsy caravans, otherwise known by their French name as roulettes have appeared on the scene and can be hired in many parts of rural France – check out www.canvasholidays.co.uk.

If you prefer camping independently or a Eurocamp style site is not for you and you really want to get away from it all check out a new guide book called “Cool Camping: France” or look on their website www.coolcamping.co.uk for information about out-of-the-way places to pitch up.
