Where in France? [url= http://www.campingromarins.com/ ]this[/url] has some of the best views of any campsite I have been.
lake matemale, Pyranees Orientale, just below Les Angles 2 bike parks within 20 mins bike ride. La Molina spain abt 40 mins by car. Very decent XC from the site.
Decent site nice location, can be busy.
Not sure of where yet, just wanna get some ideas first...
[url= http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/county.asp?region=France ] The camping version of STW [/url] covers France as well as the uk.
Went camping in Chamonix last July, can't get better views than that, top class camp site here http://www.chamonix-camping.com/
Plenty of trails from green to black grade there too, but mostly on the hardcore side. Loads to see and do if you get tired of the bike too.
Stop off in Epernay on the way down and sample the delights of the Champagne region http://www.epernay.fr/en/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=7

The campsite I mentioned above was spotted by us in the highlights of the Paris-Nice last stage the other day. (just thought I'd throw that in, no real reason).
LoL small world, I 2nd Florac really nice campsite and great place (not sure how good it is for riding though) I found it by total accident though by randomly picking it out of a camping book
Congac has a great municipal site with pool and two years ago they laid on the second last day of the tour to pass by just for me, which was nice. They also lay on free cognac tasting, which was very nice, but too much makes mrs koak puke inside tents, which, as you may guess, is not very nice.
If you want to pay peanuts and often get a wonderful campsite (without frills) look for the camping municipale signs .........mostly peaceful/cheap and well equipped. If you want all family frills ignore it!
