Campsites? They are everywhere. Some of them are really basic: just a shower. That's usually the case in small villages. But even regular campsites with basic facilities are pretty cheap.
If you plan on taking the train very often, maybe buy a travelcard if you're young (although I'm not sure foreigners can buy them, but I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to) which will give you 50% (I think). I don't remember the details, though. I think you need to be under 26 or 25 to apply. But maybe not!
I tried to open their websiye, but it doesn't want to tonight. So, it's sncf.com if you want to have a look. It can be a bit difficult to understand everything, though, but you can always wait until you get there, anyway.
For food, you can have good sandwiches in bakeries. But you can also buy some bread and some p芒t茅 and make your own sandwiches. At least, you'll get to try local food specialties. Try to ask the butcher what the specialty of the area is: at least, you won't get bored! If you're more than 2, it can be quite cheap and you won't need to store it (you DO need to put p芒t茅 in the fridge, so if you can't, try to eat it quite fast). You can also buy ham and cheese, etc. As I said, if you're a little group, just share and it will be cheaper, and still good. Try different types of bread as well for a change. Same with ';saucisson sec';, which is very good, and any type of ';charcuterie';. remember that there are local variations on cheese and charcuterie, so you might just as well try food from the area.
I don't know what your budget is at all, so... But if you have a bit more money, you can go to ';maison d'h么tes';, where they'll serve you food from the area.
Places where a lot of tourists go are often overpriced and not that good. Of course, if you go in August, there will be tourists everywhere, so that info might not be very helpful.
