Any good campsites you can recommend ?
I have zumo 660 but don't think that will give me trails ? Not sure how to use it
Properly yet for route planning off road.

You don't need to book campsites in France in June as the schools have not broken up. When we go we just head for a town at the end of a day and find a 'Camping Municipal'. Most have them. They are open during the summer months and generally run well with acceptable toilets. You even struggle to find the old squat toilets these days! I really like the Suisse Normande area as there are some hills and plenty of sites. There is a good municipal campsite we have based ourselves from in Thury-Harcourt before. Easy walk into civilised town for supper and campsite signposted well when you arrive. Snorted a Creme Brulee up my nostril there once but not something I want to repeat and not recomended, long story! All that said, I am sure there are other great areas to base yourself. We never pay for more than one night at a time so as to facilitate packing up and moving on to a new area but do like to make base camp if possible.
Happy camping. Oh, don't forget youth hostels as well. good value and not as much kit to carry. Just another option.
