Hi Caroline ... just in case you are not aware, we also have Caravan & Camping forum where you may pick up some useful info:

There are too many to mention but as we are only a couple and can travel out of season we use Camping Cheques (http://www.campingcheque.co.uk/en/) they have a huge selection of sites all over France and Europe

We did Sol a gogo at St Hilaire this year - fantastic site but bit out of town.

Those closer to St Jean de monts may fit your needs for close to towns.

St Gilles Croix de Ville is the nicest town but not sure how close campsites are, great town and beaches there though!

Thanx for that St Gilles does look nice.
We've been disappointed in the past by campsite food/restaurants which is why we'd like to be near a town or resort.
Have you ever been to Les Sables d'Olonne? It has a site we like within water taxi distance!
