looking for a camp site
Hello all,
I have been looking for a camp site for 2015 summer to go to with our caravan but still undecided.
I'm looking for:
- ideally 50 to 150 spaces, so not too big
- places of 80-100 m2 minimum with shadow but not of these leaking trees
- spotless sanitary is definately a must-have
- basic swimming pool is a must-have
- some elementary kind of animation for kids from 5-10 years old
- wifi is a must-have
- good weather is a must, we prefer 30 degrees, weather must be 'reliable'/constant
So far we have looked in northern Spain (north of Barcelona), southern France (Cote d'Azur), Tuscany, Hungary but cannot really find something that stands out. As said we want the weather to be constant and warm, we book a year in advance so cannot make bookings 'weather dependant'. Cote d'Azur and northern Spain both have this, but we have been there and cannot find another camp site we like.
I'm willing to drive about 1500 km from Utrecht (one-way obviously).
Any suggestions welcome!
BTW rather O/T but in our country, our caravan is one of the larger. Having seen a lot of Brits this summer... man, you are kings of the rolling castles! Ours is tiny!
Regards,

Not been to either but having spent many years growing up in L'Estartit I'm considering a trip of 2 weeks to take the tin tent down there next Easter/Whitsun (end of May) then putting it in one of these sites until October with a view of us being able to fly/drive down and use it throughout the season.

Thx Dubbs!
These fit into the 'constraints' and we already found these. I've looked them over on Zoover and found that at both, people complain about 'other people' visiting these places every year, it is hard to break into the groups of regulars meaning you're not going to mix with them. This even applies to kids.
I'm looking further

Chanterloup!! Me and dad keep recommending that site! It ticks all our boxes as I think it ticks all of yours! We have been going there for 9/10 years now! An still love it! I would happily go there rather than our special holiday to Mexico next year for dads 50th!!
It's a stunning site! Swimming pool, loads going on for kids and adults!!! Wild rover joined us for 3 days this year and his kids didn't want to leave it's a top site, well worth a visit!!2009 Discovery 3 HSE - Gone

Ah thx.
This region doesn't really qualify in the weather department.

Does not qualify for weather, most years we have been there it has been 32 on average, this year is the first year we have had a few days of rain but looking all over France all areas even south coast have suffered rain. Temp still in high 20 and several days over 30MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

Really? I looked at the temp/rain averages and did find them very appealing.
Temps of mid-20's in July and August is what I found, therefore I dismissed it.
Thanks for posting though, you never know what 2016 will bring
