Aires along the Lot

I used nearly all Camping Car Park Aires for my night stops when travelling. While I have used Aires many times before none were from the CCP Group. I was very impressed with their system. The operation of sites is  easy to understand, help is available in mulitple languages and if all else fails there is a phone number to call. I like the way their App shows availability at a site in near real time so there is no wasting time visiting a site to find it is full. All came with 6A EHU at prices under £12 for the night. My only criticism is, I found the web site slow but that could have been down to the network connections I had.

One day, perchance, we will get to use our CCP card!

Its a brilliant system WTG and gives you a little bit more security than the traditional Aires plus you get 6A electricty included. From the occupancy I saw they are clearly popular.

Thanks WTG, some great info.

yes, as PD says, the CCP network is building up and provides a different type of aire, often being renovated municipal campsites. They are good value and have the extra reassurance (for some) of the barrier system and booking...

what they aren't, is the traditional village aire with no frills, many of which are still  gratis thanks to local communities rather than a commercial organisation.

At the moment, CCP are spread far too thinly to be able to rely on one 'where you are'...their use requires a little planning of the trip, not unlike using ACSI sites only.

we do have a CCP card and have used it once, mainly to try it out...all worked well and it happened to be where we were, but there's still much choice of traditional Aires as WTG points out.

nice to have more choice in the marketplace, CCP is certainly a welcome player but village Aires have been around for a long time and the choice and variety is extensive.

PD, I find the CCP app works quickly....my only criticism is that the photos are very small🤷🏻‍♂️

 I did deliberately target CCP sites because I wanted to experience the system for myself but none of them were out of my way and were all on my route. I also had a credit to use up. On my outward journey I used a Camping Mon Village site (Vatan) but homeward I used 3 CCP Aires.  Roquefort, Beaumont de Le Lac Cyr and Saint Andre de L'Eure All were just one night stop overs.  I posted reviews on Search4Sites.

YT thanks for the feedback, I will put my problems down to network.

Its years since I visited the Lot valley, perhaps it is time I renewed the acquaintance.
