Hi from West sussex

[Dancer52]

About to collect the new California Ocean and will be travelling to France next month and would be grateful of any info as it's a new hobby. Have heard that some campsites have Aires for campers but nor quite sure what they are. Thanks in anticipation

Hi and welcome Aires are places that campers can stop overnight usually free
With basic toilets to use not campsites. Happy camping

Hello also from West Sussex

Aires are brilliant places found in most municipalities offering facilities ranging from nothing to everything you want, often nothing or very little, but a stopover for the night often free of charge.

You can find details of them from either a book called "All the Aires" from vicarious books or from various websites such as www.searchforsites.co.uk

 

[Dancer52]

Thank you. Do you know if they have electric hook ups or would that only be on a proper campsite

Thank you

Oh, and welcome to the site. You are going to have loads of questions to ask so feel free, the search function can guide you to many answers but you will find everyone helpful. It's a great lifestyle!

Welcome Dancer52!
Wish you a great (first ever) trip to France (in a camper van).

Some Aires do have Electric Hookup but many don't. With an Ocean you'll have no problem staying for 1 or 2 nights without Mains Power. .

Okay thanks
