Just looking at the ACO website for BEAUSEJOUR. Can I assume if I want two adjoining pitches I just select 2 camping tickets even though we're only taking one car? The blurb isn't particularly clear and I want to make sure we have room for our rather large tent.

Most of Beausejour is un-numbered so you'll be ok

1 ticket per vehicle and take what ever space you need.

Errr, that's not what the ticket says.

It is a very large open site with no marked out pitches so no problem, but like all of the open sites the later you get there the less space you will find and the worse pitches will be left, take care to pick a patch of ground that is not in a dip and if possible on the top of a rise, if it rains you will know why

Thursday morning you'll be fine. We take a ticket per car/two people and then just end up taking a stload of space as it's generally fairly unmanaged...

If you're unlucky, when you arrive a nice French person in a vis-vest will pace out your 7x5m pitches.

In which case, as soon as they wander off you move the markers and take what you want.

The plots at BSJ are marked out with paint, are generally ignored & common sense is employed instead

That's like what we tend to do, for the past few years there's been a girl on a bicycle who will lead you to a marked pitch, just smile and say thank you, then as soon as they've gone just bugger off and find a better pitch!

We are going to be on BSJ this year just for a change. It's been BN most years but the lads feel like a change.
The viewing area from within the site itself is the main draw. We should arrive early Wednesday afternoon so hope to get fairly close to the action.

Even by Wednesday, there is plenty of space at BSJ. It starts to get busy around Thursday afternoon, so you shouldn't have an issue with space
