Camping Cheques sites - some accepted all season! Cheap family holidays?

[ValA.]

In the 2012 Camping Cheques brochure several of the sites appear to accept Camping Cheques for the whole 2012 season - including school holidays. Each Camping Cheque costs £13.95 and this pays for a pitch for two adults, car and caravan (or tent or motorhome), awning and electricity for one night. Some sites accept 2 Camping Cheques for 3 nights - so this could make for a real bargain holiday at (say) ten Camping Cheques for a fourteen/fifteen night stay plus child supplements. Some have lovely pool complexes. I've no idea what the sites are like, but for families who are on a strict budget it might be worth looking at these sites.
I will put together a list of names of sites, and their direct websites as the Camping Cheque website doesn't appear to be updated for 2012 yet.

I found out that if you log onto the French camping cheque site & pay in euros, you get a better rate of exchange than if you buy on the English site.
Or you can buy them at the sites that you visit

sounds interesting! might have to look into this with my husband, we were gonna go to the dordogne for 2 weeks, hull to zebrugge crossing and then paris for a week but it was totting up to about 3000! what with petrol food outings etc etc far to much, some camping sites with pools were around 40 euros when adding on the kids.
