Each year millions of tourists from all over the world choose to spend their holidays sleeping under canvas or in static mobile homes in fantastically-equipped campsites throughout France. With a staggering 11,000 to choose from, it can be quite a daunting task to find the campsite or holiday park that ticks all the boxes for your holiday.

So, here is a suggested list of the top 10 campsites in France - drawn from Normandy, the Atlantic Coast, the Mediterranean Coast and central regions. This is by no means a definitive list, but highlights 10 of the campsites that have fantastic facilities for the entire family.

Let's start in the north and head to the Normandy Coast. Definitely making it into our top 10 campsites in France is the illustrious two-star Domaine de Litteau in Calvados. If you love the past, this is the place for you; close to the historic town of Bayeux and the beaches of World War Two's Normandy landings, this intimate park is situated in beautiful woodland, and is easily accessible from the UK. Also worth serious consideration in this area is the compact site at Chateau Les Eaux.

Further west, down the coast in beautiful Brittany we find the stunning Domaine de Kerlann holiday park. With great accommodation options, this park has fantastic facilities that appeal to all the family, and benefits from a superb location too! In the same region you'll find another great park at La Pointe St. Gilles, featuring a great selection of water slides to keep the little ones amused!

Moving south down the Atlantic Coast, and offering a sublime combination of sun, sand, and surf, we find the magnificent La Reserve Park based on the beautiful coast - with an enormous pool complex providing the focal point. Surrounded by lush pine forests in a fantastic rural setting, you will need your own transport to reach it, but it is well worth the drive. Also worth special mention in this area and making our top ten are the glorious campsites at Le Ruisseau, Biarritz and Le Vieux Port, near Messanges.

France's Mediterranean coast has long been associated with opulence and glamour and would not, at first glance, appear to be the ideal place to enjoy a cost-effective camping holiday, but first glances are wrong! One of our top 10 campsites in France found in the heart of Languedoc is located only a short drive from the bustling centre of Argeles sur Mer and the sleepy fishing village of Le Racou. Le Bois du Valmarie is a four-star park that offers stunning views of the Mediterranean from its fantastic split-level pool area.

In central France, around Paris and within easy reach of both the capital city and Disneyland Paris, we find two of our favorite campsites and parks. Les Etangs Fleuris is set in the heart of Brie country, has superb on-park facilities, and also boasts an extensive fishing lake. Finishing our top ten, glorious International is beside the Seine, just outside Paris and all the attractions.
