Holidays
Siblu vs Huttopia vs Flowers camping plus would you recommend with 10/14yo?

Umm, just that, really! Haven't done a French campsite holiday since the kids were much smaller. Now thinking they might appreciate a bit of life and some outdoor activities rather than hanging out with the oldies (ie me and DH 
)
We're looking at campsites in eastern France. Does anyone have any experience of these companies? And would you recommend for a 10 and 14 year old?

It all depends on the site and your children. Out of the companies you name, I’ve only ever used Huttopia. If your children want an amazing pool complex, sports facilities or organised activities, then I’d advise against Huttopia. Even the ‘villages’ are fairly limited in what they offer for teens and tweens. We’ve tended to use Eurocamp and more recently Le French Time.
We’ve never used Siblu but I’ve seen some good reviews. I don’t think they have many parks in the east though.
My recommendations for sites on the east for children are Le Domaine de Louvarel in Jura and Les Fontaines by Lake Annecy.

Funnily enough, my two kids are also 10 and 14. We went to Huttopia Rille 3 years ago and this summer they have asked to go back to Huttopia. The sites are lovely and loads of activities. I hear Sud Ardeche is a fabulous site but maybe not quite the region you have in mind.

Thanks! God help us, we seem to have been talked into a bells and whistles enormous water park type site (not with either of these companies in the end). I did like the look of Huttopia, though.
