Italian Site Wanted Oct 2010

Can anyone recommend a site along the Ligurian coast that will not break the bank, allows dogs, has pitches large enough for twin axle 7.5 metre van, and is open October/November?

The Planning Can Begin

at last our dog`s passport is finally complete & she is now able to re-enter the UK from next Feb which means we can start planning our easter trip to europe. We have really missed our annual trip to France this year, although we have had a great time visiting previously unseen parts of the UK ....... SO decisions,decisions we have always promised ourselves a visit to the Dordogne but never been able to get beyond the beautiful Loire, in 7 attempts, we also really liked the look of the Black forest in Germany when we did a motorcycle trip to Lake Garda, so fortuna...

Spain Newbie !

Ok, so like most we have now done France for a few years, Italy too....so fancy Spain !! MAYBE ! Looking around we fancy a ferry to Santander, then a site no more than about 100km from the port....site would be 3 star with a pool, bar and other amenities...not really wanting a large "las dunas" type site....also maybe for a small rally....pitches 100m2 if poss ! Any suggestions much-us-grassy-arse !! Nick

On a par with, or better than Sequoia Parc ( suggestions )

Hi all, We mothballed the tourer this summer in favour of Turkey. No regrets on this, but now thinking of options for summer 2011. We did Vendee/Charente in 2004/2008 & 2009 , and went to Cote d'Azure ( Antibes ) without the tourer in 2007. We like the Atlantic coast but want something a bit different, so maybe its time to stretch the touring down to the South, or maybe even lakes. Maybe even Italy if the prices are low enough.... Criteria is :- > Got to have super dooper pool complex like Sequoia Parc > Got to be near the coast or a big lake ...

The Ardeche

We are taking our 5th wheel + Nissan Navara to the Ardeche for a couple of weeks, last week Aug' - 1st week Sept. This will be a new area for us after many years in the Dordogne with caravans,motorhomes,& RV's. Any sugestions/advice re campsites and road condtions for large(ish) units (once we leave the Autoroute) would be very much appreciated. Over here, we prefer quiet CL's and are hoping that given the time of year, it might have quietened off (like the Dordogne does) ? I've had a look at the route re tolls and, even tho West Autoroute is roughly 80 ...
