Camping in France in June - any advice/tips please for a really cheap trip?

DH wants to take our tent to France in June this year and for me to organize the trip - eek! Except I know absolutely nothing about camping in France. I just wanted a nice private villa somewhere hot, so not overly keen on camping. All I know is that it must have a good chance of being sunny and warm, have a swimming pool/lake or beach nearby for DD (4), be quiet (no endless rows of caravans packed in) and have plenty of places to explore nearby.

Where can we go that is nice but cheap once we factor everything in? How cheap can it realistically be?

The ferry seems v expensive from Portsmouth (over £400), but would it be really stupid in terms of diesel cost to drive a couple of hours to the tunnel just to save the ticket price?

Does anyone have any money saving tips or shall I just keep on about that villa Wink

Went to Ile de re last year - first two weeks in June and had some cool days. Later June is better. But highly recommend it. Stayed in lovely small campsite called la bonne etoile, flew with Ryan air, bus from airport to campsite, bikes included in mobile home deal. Flights and accomm for family of five for 2 wks cost ?900.
