Camping Abroad

We've been to France a number of times, and generally stayed in a static caravan park. The facilities were ok, and we had our privacy. It was close enough to the things that we wanted to do (hiking and so on-in the South of France, absolutely stunning place).

Have you ever gone abroad and actually camped? Did you take your own gear or find a way to rent the stuff you needed?

This sounds like a lot of fun and I can say that I have not. I think if I traveled abroad (which I have not but have hopes to) I would most certainly get a hotel room. I don't know if it's fear of being somewhere outside the US and out of my comfort zone or what but I would not want to be camping.

Unfortunately hotel rooms can be as scary as camp sites! I once went to Spain, and the place we stayed in-let's just say that it was NOTHING like the brochure showed!
