In reply to TreeclimbingRob:
Mer de Glacé campsite is good with everything you need, It's on the other side of town (when arriving from west). Its about a 20/30 min walk in to town but they do give you a free bus pass. I think you should be ok to turn up without reservation (its pretty empty at the moment) but it does fill in the height of summer especially on weekends.
Alternatives are in Les Bossons on East Side of town or in Argentiere but I think mer de glacé is best option.
They all generally speak good English so that shouldn't be an issue.
