Cheap, luxury camping in France for the family | Camping blog

It stands to reason that when you buy holidays, as with everything else, you need to get the best deal possible.

So there are few things more annoying, for example, when you think you have bought a seriously cheap camping holiday in France and you are sat outside your mobile home one evening sharing a bottle of wine with the family next door and boasting about it, when the wife next door drops the bombshell that they paid ?100 less for theirs than you did.

It takes the wind right out of your sails, you are immediately deflated, nauseous, seriously embarrassed and you want to run and hide. OK, well this situation has happened to most of us at some point, and if the wifey next door had kept her mouth shut you could have enjoyed the rest of your holiday in the knowledge that you had got the best deal it was possibly to get.

Of course, she might have been so fed up with your boasting that she invented the figure they paid for their holiday just for the hell of it. Serves you right!

The same thing applies to luxury holidays as we found out last summer in the Vend?e when we were in exactly the same situation being sat outside our mobile home with another couple who were moaning about the quality of furnishings in their caravan.

OK, it wasn?t new but it was clean as a new pin and was undamaged so what?s the problem?

The problem was that they owned a second hand mobile which they had parked somewhere around Skegness, but theirs was much newer and had better fitments then the one the holiday company had allotted them.

I doubted that somehow because when we met I sussed that he was someone too over fond of his own voice and opinions so I let drop that the following week we were moving to another site owned by Select Camp who specialise in luxury camping in France and other European countries.

Now this chap just would not believe me when I told him that Slect Camp provide tents with fully fitted kitchens AND complete bathroom units within their tents. When we returned to England I emailed this big mouth with their URL.

Family camping in France is a big thing these days and it is nice to see that young families are going over there and not being put off by the silly hype that France is too expensive to go to now. It isn?t of course, so spread the word young people because a holiday there quite often costs less than in good old Rip Off Britain.
