Which sites? I've done le camping des Menhirs which is a Eurocamp near Carnac so southern Brittany, it's fine, but the pitches are very much on top of each other, but it is actually in the town, you walk out of the campsite and you are a few minutes from shops and the sea front.
I've also done Domaine de la breche near Saumur, it's quiet and spacious, really in the countryside, about 10 minutes or so outside Saumur. It's not close to the best bits of the Loire valley for visits, it's pretty countryside, though.

@puttingontheritz hello thank you for answering looked at the Menhirs one but quite a way from Roscoff , and the two that seem to come out tops are Parc de Ferbois near Tours for the first week and le Mouettes for the second week as its near to Roscoff for getting home has anyone stayed at either of these camps

I have not stayed at St Catherine de Fierbois, but it is not all that well place for visiting the chateaux if that is what you intend to do. I'd have a look at Yeloh instead for that part. I don't know the other one, but I can see you have a problem arriving in Roscoff because it's out on such a limb. Plus there are virtually no motorways in Brittany so everything is far.

hello thank you for that we are quite happy with no motorways from Roscoff to Loire valley as we will be on a motorbike and having done the motorways all the way through France a few years ago want to avoid them it was just like being in UK , not too worried about visiting lots of chateaux want somewhere to ride pretty routes with towns to visit

It's a lovely route along the Loire coming out from the Nantes area, avoiding the motorway. You are next to the Loire all the time. If you join the Loire from Angers it's really nice too. I'm sure you'll have an amazing trip!

Can’t comment on specifics but we have stayed in Yelloh villages on the south coast and had a great time

and although the Roscoff ferry is good the Portsmouth-st malo one is better IMO as you get a proper nights’ sleep- we’ve often been one one and come back the other.
