Summary created out of 130 reviews

The campsite enchants with its spectacular location and breathtaking views over the Dordogne valley, drawing guests back time and again. The swimming pool is an absolute highlight: with both a heated indoor pool featuring a spray park and an outdoor pool with slide, it's a paradise for families with children. Owners Sophie and Arnaud receive praise for their hospitality and dedication, though some guests experienced less enthusiasm from staff members. While the sanitary facilities have recently been renovated and are described as clinically clean by recent visitors, older reviews mention outdated and poorly maintained facilities, indicating clear improvements.

    A very bad experience! Booked since the beginning of the year. Arrived on August 8, 2026, with my daughter around 11 a.m. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our “freecamp” site.
    We unpacked and started setting up our tent. First attempt to drive in the tent stakes—very difficult. I hit rocky ground and stones (Périgord Blanc)—impossible to … drive anything in. I moved several centimeters over, several times, but to no avail. So we go to the reception desk to ask how the other campers do it… if there’s a technique—even though I’m equipped with a mallet… Anyway, the lady contacts the manager, who tells her that the others manage to do it and that I should be able to too…So off we go back to the campsite; I shift the tarp over and over again, trying to find a way to drive those tent stakes in… but to no avail.
    Frustrated, I decide to go grocery shopping for dinner because hunger and fatigue were setting in after three hours on the road.We put away the groceries and ate a quick meal.
    I went back to the front desk to explain that it was impossible. The manager arrived. He didn’t understand; I asked him to suggest an alternative, and he told me he had nothing! He even insinuated that “I don’t know how to set up a tent and that I just want him to set it up for me.” Absolutely not—this isn’t the first tent I’ve ever set up… in short, a dialogue of the deaf. He was unfriendly and told me he had to go fix a TV in a mobile home. So I tell him, “To each his own priorities—we don’t know where we’re going to sleep…” He tries to hammer in my tent stakes himself, without success; he grabs a sledgehammer and hits so hard that he bends two large stakes (the ones that form an angle at the four corners of the structure).
    In bad faith, I asked him to at least acknowledge that it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to drive anything into the ground there. But he wouldn’t budge.
    Extremely disappointed, we packed up and left. Of course, he only refunded me half of what I’d paid; I lost 250 € and my vacation. All the groceries that were in the fridge.....
    I even tried to find last-minute accommodations to at least spend the weekend there, but it was impossible at that time of year.
    We got home at 11 p.m., exhausted and so disappointed!!!!

    Très Mauvaise expérience ! Réservé depuis le début d'année. Arrivée le 8 août 2026 avec ma fille ver 11h. Bien accueillis et amené sur notre emplacement "freecamp".
    Nous déballons et commençons à installer notre toile de tente. Premier essai pour enfoncer les sardines, très difficile. Je tombe sur de la rocaille, des pierres, (Périgord Blanc) impossible d'enfoncer quoi que ce soit. Je me déplace de plusieurs centimètres, à plusieurs reprises , mais rien à faire. Donc ́nous allons à l'accueil pour demander comment font les autres campeurs.... si il y a une technique, pourtant équipée d’un maillet.... bref la dame contacte le responsable qui lui dit que les autre y arrivent et que je doit y arriver....nous voilà reparti sur l'emplacement je déplace la toile encore et encore pour essayer de trouver un moyen d'enfoncer ces sardines.... mais en vain.
    Agacée, je décide daller faire des courses pour manger car la faim et la fatigue se faisaient sentir, après 3h de routes.nous rangeons les courses et mangeons vite fait.
    Je retourne à l'accueil pour expliquer que c’est impossible. Le gérant arrive. Il ne comprend pas, je lui demande de me proposer une alternative, il me dit qu’il n’a rien ! Il insinue même que " je ne sais pas monter une toile et que je veux juste qu’il me la monte ". Alors absolument pas ce n’est pas la première tente que je monte..... bref dialogue de sours. Mal aimable et il me dit qu’il doit aller réparer une télé dans un mobile home. Alors je lui répond chacun ses priorités, nous ne savons pas où nous allons dormir... il essaie lui même de planter mes sardines, sans succès, il prend une massette, et frappe tellement fort qu’il plie deux grosses sardines, (celles qui forme un angle, pour les 4 extrémités de la structure).
    De très mauvaise foi, je lui demande de reconnaître au moins que c'est très complexe voir impossible de planter quoi que ce soit sur le terrain. Mais sans façon.
    Extrêmement déçues nous plions bagages et partons. Bien entendu il ne m’a remboursé que la moitié de ce que j’avais versé, j’ai perdu 250 € et mes vacances. Toutes les courses qui étaient au réfrigérateur.....
    J’ai même essayé de trouver un autre hébergement de dernière minute pour passer au moins le week-end, mais impossible à cette période.
    Nous sommes arrivées chez nous à 23h. Éreintées et tellement déçues !!!!

    Without a doubt, the best campground I've ever stayed at. Shaded campsites, a superb view, a family-friendly atmosphere, two very pleasant pools—one of which is 20 m by 10 m!—the staff is very friendly, the restrooms are brand-new and spotless, and the bar/restaurant serves great cocktails (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and delicious local dishes!
    Pure bliss! We’ll be back!

    Sans nul doute le meilleur camping où j'ai séjourné. Des emplacements ombragés, une superbe vue, une ambiance familiale, 2 piscines très agréables dont une de 20mx10m !, le personnel est très sympa, les sanitaires neufs et hyper propres et le bar / restaurant sert de bons cocktails avec ou sans alcool et de très bons plats locaux !
    Que du bonheur ! On reviendra !

    We spent a week here in September in a cabin. It was well equipped and comfortable. The site is peaceful, friendly, and very clean. The swimming pool is excellent. Rouffignac is a pleasant 25 min walk and well worth a visit. The best part is the view over the valley, it is amazing! Highly recommended.

    Now that it’s the second week of September, it’s very quiet at the campground, but not completely deserted. The pool is still open. In the village, the supermarket, bakery, and pizzeria are still open. We have a gorgeous spot on the edge of the campground, with a view of the valley. At night, there’s a beautiful starry sky—no light pollution. The … restrooms are good and clean. It’s a great place for biking. Plus, this side of the campground, near the pool, is just beautiful. Spacious sites, lots of greenery, and fantastic views.

    Nu 2e week september is het erg rustig op de camping, maar niet helemaal verlaten. Zwembad is nog open. In het dorp nog supermarkt, bakker en pizzeria open. Staan schitterend aan de rand van de camping, met uitzicht over vallei. 's Nachts prachtige sterrenhemel, geen lichtvervuiling. Sanitair is goed en schoon. Je kunt hier prima fietsen. Verder is deze kant van de camping, bij het zwembad gewoon mooi. Ruime plekken, groen en fantastisch uitzicht.

    We stayed at the campground for a week on a Freecamp site. Everything was perfect. The campground is very pleasant—we had a wonderful time as a family. The pool is great, and the fact that it’s indoor is a real plus on rainy days. There are also outdoor play areas for kids with a magnificent view.
    There are also daily activities for kids—even … though our kids didn’t participate because we went out every day to visit caves, villages, and castles—this service is great for those who want to spend the day at the campground.
    We’d love to come back to this campground someday.

    Nous avons séjourné au camping une semaine sur un emplacement avec freecamp. Tout était parfait. Le camping est très agréable, des excellents moments en famille. La piscine au top , le fait qu'il est une piscine couverte est très appréciable pour les jours de pluie. Il y a également des jeux en pleins air pour les enfants avec une vue magnifique.
    Il y a également des activités tous les jours pour les enfants, même si nos enfants n'y ont pas participé car nous sommes sortis tous les jours pour visiter grotte , village et château, ce service est top pour ceux qui veulent rester là journée au camping.
    C'est avec plaisir que nous reviendrons un jour dans ce camping.
