It varies quite a lot.
The municipal sites which proliferate throughout France are usually the best
and also the cheapest.
Also please note that a lot of the municipal sites don't show up in camping
site guides ( like the Michelin Camping Caravanning guide). But an amazing
number of quite small town and villages have them. If you are planning a
route just do a web search --- like "Camping Beaulieu" and it will often pull
out a camp site in the village you are looking at
The most I paid last year was Eu 18 in Narbonne ( a private site) -- but every
pitch had its own"sanitaire" complete with shower, toilet, wash basin and
electricity!
Most Municipals will be Eu 5 upwards to about 12. But if you are in a touristy
area and in high season, then the price eases up. The most expensive
Municipal site I stayed in last year cost me Eu 16 per night --- that was
very unusual indeed but the site was quite immaculate and very secure and the
staff their were excellent! I think the cheapest was in Cezy at Euro4!
All private sites will be Eu 12 plus -- and you will find generally that they
are nowhere nearly as good as municipal sites!
A bit of fluent French is extremely handy when travelling in France but if you
are travelling alone ( as I do) you will be undistinguishable from the locals
by day 3.
By the way I have never booked ahead on any of my trips in Europe and never
had a problem -- mind you, I do go off early in the season to avoid peak times
