Summary created out of 123 reviews

This small-scale family campsite is highly valued for its beautiful location with valley views and peaceful natural setting in the Périgord Noir. Guests praise the exceptional cleanliness of both accommodations and sanitary facilities, and appreciate the friendly, helpful staff running the campsite. The two heated pools – one indoor – are a major plus, as is the central location for visiting caves, castles and other attractions in the Dordogne.

    We had a wonderful stay at this family-friendly campground, which was very peaceful and impeccably clean. We really enjoyed the services and amenities offered: swimming pools, a restaurant every other night (the other nights, takeout pizza), playgrounds for the kids... We also enjoyed taking walks around the campground. It’s in a great location, and we explored the surrounding area without ever getting bored. A big thank you to the entire team ✨

    Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce camping familial d'un grand calme et d'une propreté irréprochable. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les services et équipements proposés : piscines, restaurant un soir sur deux (l'autre soir, pizzas à emporter), aires de jeux pour les enfants... Nous avons également pris du plaisir à nous promener aux abords du camping. Très bien situé, nous avons rayonné autour sans nous lasser. Un grand merci à l'ensemble de l'équipe ✨

    A nice, friendly camping trip
    . It’s located near plenty of activities—I highly recommend it. One minor downside regarding the maintenance of the outdoor pool, but otherwise it’s great.

    You’ll receive a warm welcome at the front desk; the campground is spotless, with well-maintained grass and neatly trimmed hedges. The owner and his family are incredibly kind. The only downside, in my opinion, is the pool temperature—other than that, there’s nothing to complain about. We had a relaxing week and left feeling rejuvenated.
    A wonderful discovery: the walnut, rose, and peach ice cream was excellent. Thank you!

    Vous serez reçu à l'accueil chaleureusement, le camping et d'une propreté, herbe et haie propre et super bien taillé. Le propriétaire et sa famille est d'une gentillesse. Le seul bémol a mon gout est la température de la piscine ces tout rien a dire sur tout le reste.. nous avons passé une semaine reposante, nous sommes partis requinqués.
    Belle découverte avec la glace noix , rose, pêche de très bonnes qualités Merci
