    I don't think you need much more information than peedee gave.

    It would be worth buying the Club's Touring France book.  Information is provided by club members on sites they have used.

    Have you looked in the shop section of the website for it?

    Can't add much more advice than already given except to reassure you that there are thousands of sites in France and ,especially if travelling out of peak season, you should have no problems.  We find stopping by say 4 - 5 pm is ideal.  We have never had any problem finding a site in France in the 'shoulder' seasons and don't book.

    'Le Guide Officiel Camping Caravaning' covers a whole lot more sites than any of the aforementioned guides.

    I use the three mentioned by Peedee but also carry an old Michelin around as well.

    In addition to the useful tips above, we would strongly suggest buying a copy of the AA Big Easy Read France 2020 spiral bound map book to find your way around. 

    No matter how up to date your Sat Nav is alleged/thought to be, you will find that it will often either freeze at the wrong moment, blank out for a while, or has no idea where you are, particularly in rural France. 

    We speak from many experiences where the Big Book has come to our rescue. My co-pilot and map reader much prefers the spiral bound version as Murphy's law always determines that the village or road you are looking up is right on the centre fold.!!

    You could also try Pitch-up, which I only recently discovered useful.

    I find it easy to navigate using just the website map, if you are looking for campsites in a particular region, or as I was, near an autoroute for overnight stops.

    The other way to find sites in France is simply to make a websearch....type in Camping then Name of town. You will get a nice Google map with all surrounding sites, then take your pick - nearly all have websites/.

    Google area where you want to go, then put in "campsites in area". This I find useful.
