[The Greek AKA The cat]

I have used the guide books but they are pretty crap and devoid of info so I think it is a good idea to start a list of camp sites that accept tents for us bikers.

If you know of one in your area or have experience the info should include:

1. Location (Google mapped if possible)
2. Nightly rate for tent and bike two up.
3. Facilities (e.g. TV room, clothes washing facility, do showers needs a token etc)
4. How far from the nearest eatery!
5. Have they facilities for cooking e.g. pre-built bbq's
6. General description e.g. is it a mostly mobile home site

Here are a few to start.

Ferry Bank - Wexford (52.343355, -6.454446)

Lots of room for tents.
Site is clean and well maintained.

Showers require a token which is a pain.
No pre-booking allowed particularly during July and August when many people use it straight off the ferry from France.

Wexford town is a about 30 mins walk and there is no shop local so it is either a trek or you are on the bike for supplies.

I didn't check out facilities for clothes washing but they seem to be there.

Anyone know or recommend any in France and Spain. We are planning a trip which will take us as follows:

Cherbourg - Paris region - Launguedoc-Rousillon region - East-coast of Spain.

tons of great ones in France,
there also a great one right in the centre of Paris.
'bout 3miles from the Arc Du Triomphe.
some details below

In general, my suggestion is to get the Michelin Guide to Campsites.
very comprehensive, and not too big for the tank bag.

then at lunchtime, have a browse, and take your choice for the evening

Thanks for the tips. I've been looking at prices and trying to budget. Is it fair to say that prices average at 22euro per night ?

The 'Municipal' sites in France ... some even half that.

In Spain they are more expensive.

like I say, the Michelin Guides include Prices and Star Ratings
