Easy cycle camping - Piedmont? Burgundy? Via Claudia?

We are planning to spend two weeks cycle camping this August and would really appreciate some advice on family friendly cycle camping routes i.e. not too hilly and camping opportunities not too far apart. We will have a 9 and an 11-year-old on their own bikes and wouldn't expect to cycle more than about 20 miles per day on average, though they have done 40. We live in London and need to end up in Piedmont, Italy, and will travel by train. My husband doesn't think Piedmont itself would be a good cycle camping destination as he doesn't think we'll find campsites - does anyone know different (can't find much on the net). Otherwise I am thinking of stopping somewhere along the train route from London to Turin for a cycle camping trip, possibly Burgundy. My third option was to go by train to Germany and travel the Via Claudia into Italy - Does anyone know about that route and whether camping might be possible along the way?
Any advice much appreciated!
