More like €20-€30 during the summer months anywhere near the coast or anywhere popular by the time you've added in a few kids there's only a fiver difference with a private site. Definitely look at tripadvisor if you're thinking of boooking in advance, you'll find some of the cheap municipal sites are totally run down or have ridiculous issues like being conveniently located near/next to the municipal sewage plant - common! or near an estuary where the tide can be over 40feet etc.
We have used quite a few Muni's and found them excellent value and sometimes adjacent to facilities like the municipal swimming pool. This one at CLUNY is a good example.
The choice is wide, from really basic to well developed which is probably reflected in the price range.
For those who are uncomfortable using Aire's and have no desire to pay €50 plus p/n for for or five star sites with onsite water parks, disco's, supermarkets etc., the Muni often hits the spot.
As is said, 'there's horses for courses'

€18.80 and 400km from the sea
Nothing against municipal sites but you're unlikely to get anything reasonable at €8-€12 during the summer months, even the decent aires charge around €10-€12 peak.0 -

There's much more to France than the sea. We stayed in a great municipal campsite right beside Lac du Salgou. Loads of entertainment for kids including a waterpark on the lake. It was €14/night in July last year. We stayed in mostly free Aires on the same trip.
Like anything you'll get unlucky sometimes; we stayed in a free Aires which was beside a municipal campsite in Nogent sur Seine. The campsite was literally right beside a huge nuclear power station and within metres of its chimneys, most definetly not an idylic location!

Cheers, was going to buy the kit last year. Any recommendations? Is there good feedback and recommendations in the members area? Did you encounter any pushy selling?
We stayed in 3 different France Passion sites and found all the hosts fantastic. I'll try to find the names of the sites and give you some specifics. I cant remember what was in the members area other than a terrible GPS program; we ended up in the wrong garden more than once!
The English level of hosts was pretty low even if they were marked as English speaking in the guide but we always managed fine with hand signals and smiles!
I've heard rumours about pushy selling but didn't encounter anything of the sort. In fact we were more than happy to purchase thier products, for example we got enough homemade chicken casserole for 6 servings for less than a tenner, it was the best Ive ever had by far.0 -
