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.

The manager gave us a wonderful welcome; the site was decent with utility hookups; the restrooms were top-notch with large showers and impeccable cleanliness! The outdoor pool is superb, as is the restaurant for dinner, with delicious dishes prepared by the talented son, who is the chef. Breakfast is also very good and offers great value for the price. I highly recommend this campground.
