Back to touring in Europe

I would normally have been cautious, like others, but last year we toured in July and August and had no problems finding pitches.  We stayed on three sites, all with pools, a bar and a restaurant, but all the smaller and cheaper sites, and all had plenty of vacant pitches.  It was unplanned because we'd taken our caravan out of storage to meet up with family in the Correze, and on the way back learned that our caravan storage site was very near to severe flooding.  We decided we didn't want to risk taking it back so stayed alongside the Cele river (one valley north of the more popular Lot),  in the Aveyron, and then back to the Ardeche.  We didn't pay too much for any of the sites (somewhere around 20 euros per night from memory - would be more with children depending on their ages) and all were of an acceptable standard.  I would say if you don't want four/five star sites then you should find places in almost all areas except beachside and five miles inland from a beach.

Thank you all so much for your advice - I think I've managed to convince my hubby to book, this time anyway! Some really useful tips on Dutch holidays, timings and parking, all much appreciated. 

Another query please, we want to do a one night stop over on the way to Denmark ( have already booked another night at a club site) and wondered how easy it is to use / find Aires in the Netherlands? All the websites I have found are for campervans and motorhomes and don't allow caravans. 

Thanks again

For caravanners this book is more useful than a list of Aires. You can of course get it from Club HQ

That's brilliant - thanks all.
