Looking at getting back to the 24 this year but incorporate it into a french caravan holiday. Looking at the bounty lakes option as I will have the wife and young son with me.

Has anyone done the trip with a caravan in tow and pitched in one of the public campsites. Been with a tent plenty of times but would like a little more comfort for the family.

We’ve used Garage Vert for many years now and there are plenty of caravans and campers on the site. My only recommendation would be to pitch up latest Thursday to get a decent spot as there are no defined pitches or size of pitch.

Bounty is good for the event as they have shuttles to the circuit and back.
You don’t say if wife and son are attending the event, if not passing the time at Bounty will be hard as it is a bit remote. There’s a public site at Ecommoy a couple of miles down the road with train services to Le Mans or Tours

I took the caravan last year for the first time, staying on Bleu Sud. Wouldn't go without it now!

Done it on Houx myself with electric hookup. Much better than tenting, highly recommend it!

There are no pitch sizes on Garage Vert. Plenty of areas were also levelled off and better drainage was put in for last year so the site improves. It’s popularity of the site is growing so to get a good pitch it’s best to get there Wednesday or Thursday. The site is frequented by quite a lot of regulars which is nice and behaviour standards are normally pretty good. We’ll be there as usual with 2 RV’s and few sports cars

The standard pitch size is just big enough for a car and caravan - not a lot more, but its well worth it

I tend to book two pitches now - it’s nice to have a bit of space.
