Surroundings
Discover the most beautiful village in France!
In Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, immerse yourself in the village's rich history and natural beauty. Start by exploring the remarkable Monolithic Church, an impressive underground structure carved entirely out of rock. Then stroll through the charming streets dotted with cozy cafes and stores, where you can soak up the atmosphere of this medieval town. If you want to seek peace and quiet, you can relax by the river Dronne, for example, have a picnic. Whether you are impressed by ancient architecture, enjoy local delicacies or just want to relax in nature, Aubeterre-sur-Dronne offers a delightful mix of cultural experiences and relaxation for everyone.
Kayaking on the river Dronne
A boat trip on the Dronne River offers a great experience in the beautiful Aubeterre-sur-Dronne area. Rent a canoe or kayak from one of the local rental companies and cruise leisurely downstream through the beautiful countryside. Along the banks you will see green meadows, wooded hills and historic buildings lining the waterfront. The atmosphere is relaxed and ideal for both families and couples looking for a romantic getaway. Enjoy the lapping water and soothing sounds of nature as you explore the beauty of the Dronne River from a unique perspective.
On an adventure in the Grotte de Villars
The Grotte de Villars are a 1-hour drive from the glamping site, but are well worth a visit! On a guided tour, you can admire impressive formations of stalactites and stalagmites, some with remarkable shapes and sizes. A highlight of the cave are the prehistoric rock paintings, which date back to the Paleolithic period and show depictions of animals such as bison, horses and mammoths. These works of art offer a unique insight into the life and culture of our ancestors. How awesome is that! As a visitor, you can also enjoy the educational aspects of the cave. For example, there is an explanation of the geological processes that contributed to the formation of the caves. A super fun outing for young and old!
Enjoy a horseback ride through the verdant countryside
Near the glamping area, there are several horseback riding opportunities. One popular option is to take a horseback ride through the beautiful countryside of the Dordogne. Local riding stables and equestrian centers often offer organized rides, ranging from short trips through the woods to longer adventures along rivers and vineyards. There are also opportunities for lessons and treks for both beginners and experienced riders. With extensive trails and routes, horseback riding is a great way to experience the natural beauty of the region while enjoying the peace and freedom of horseback riding.

Disappointing despite the beautiful setting
A stay at Camping Paradis in Aubeterre-sur-Dronne—and, unfortunately, several major disappointments.
First thing: watch out for the rates! When we wanted to extend our stay by 3 days, I was quoted €140 over the phone. Upon arrival, my parents were ultimately charged €190—€50 more. No one … had told us this, so we had to negotiate to get the price we’d originally been quoted. And on another night, two beers (50 cl Heineken + 50 cl Desperados) were billed at €18, with yet another €4 error that we had to get corrected. Needless to say, those were my first and last beers there! Sometimes it feels like you have to check every bill!
As for the food, it’s really not their strong suit: on mussels-and-fries night, there were lots of closed mussels and we even found plastic in the dish. And be careful—you obviously shouldn’t say anything, because here any comment seems to be taken the wrong way; it cost us a huge argument one night!! Because the staff has forgotten that the customer is king; I get the impression they’re there for themselves rather than for the customers!!!
Since the snack bar is open to the general public, it gets packed quickly in the evenings!!!!
The entertainment is also quite disappointing. Piki arrives in a golf cart in a very small area where children are running around: we found this dangerous, but apparently it’s not a problem at all!!
The entertainment is also open to the general public, just like the beach and the snack bar: so what you see in the photos isn’t exclusively reserved for campers!
Another thing that really surprised us: the large kitchen knives for watermelons and cantaloupes (seasonal fruits, you know...) have been removed from the accommodations, with the explanation being a fear that “things might get out of hand” and that there would be regular altercations—though, to be honest, that doesn’t really surprise me… even if it’s not exactly reassuring for a family vacation…
We also spotted some little mice under the awnings of the canvas accommodations! Nice, huh???
As for these accommodations, however, they’re pretty spacious and decent overall. It’s a shame the two small outdoor tables aren’t replaced by one big family table.
Finally, we noticed there was a lot of turnover: many people only stay a few days. As for us, I ended up leaving earlier than planned with my daughter, leaving my parents behind, because we quickly got the feeling that we were going to get bored, and the overall atmosphere doesn’t exactly make you want to stay!!!
The campground clearly lacks consistency when it comes to pricing, food service, organization, and activities.

Décevant malgré un beau cadre
Séjour au Camping Paradis d’Aubeterre-sur-Dronne et malheureusement plusieurs grosses déceptions.
Première chose : attention aux tarifs ! Pour prolonger notre séjour de 3 jours, on m'annonce 140 € par téléphone. À l'arrivée, mes parents se retrouvent finalement facturés 190 €, soit 50 € de plus. Personne ne nous l'avait annoncé, il faut donc négocié pour avoir le prix juste annoncé. Et lors d'une autre soirée, 2 bières (50 cl Heineken + 50 cl Desperados) sont facturées 18 €, avec encore 4 € d'erreur qu'il a fallu faire corriger. Autant dire que c'était les premières et dernières pour moi ! On a parfois l'impression qu'il faut vérifier chaque addition !
Côté restauration, ce n'est vraiment pas leur point fort : soirée moules-frites, beaucoup de moules fermées et même du plastique retrouvé dans le plat. Et attention il ne faut visiblement rien dire car ici chaque remarque semble mal perçue, ça nous as coûté une superbe embrouille un soir !! Car le personnel a oublié l'importance du client roi, j'ai plutôt l'impression qu'ils sont là pour eux, plutôt que pour les clients !!!
Le snack étant ouvert au public extérieur, il est rapidement saturé lors des soirées !!!!
L'animation est également assez décevante. Piki arrive en voiturette dans un espace très petit où circulent les enfants : nous avons trouvé cela dangereux, mais visiblement cela ne pose aucun problème !!
Les animations sont par ailleurs accessibles au public extérieur, tout comme la plage et le snack : ce que l'on voit sur les photos n'est donc pas exclusivement réservé aux campeurs !
Autre point qui nous a franchement surpris : les gros couteaux de cuisine pour pastèques / melons (fruits de saisons quoi...) ont été retirés des logements, avec comme explication la peur que « ça dégénère » et qu'il y aurait régulièrement des embrouilles, en même temps ca m'étonne pas vraiment.. même si c'est pas rassurant pour des vacances en famille…
Nous avons également aperçu des petites souris sous les caïbotis des hébergements toilés ! Sympa non???
Concernant ces logements, en revanche, ils sont plutôt spacieux et corrects dans l'ensemble. Dommage que les deux petites tables extérieures ne soient pas remplacées par une grande table familiale.
Enfin, nous avons trouvé qu'il y avait énormément de turnover : beaucoup de personnes restent seulement quelques jours. De notre côté, je suis finalement repartis plus tôt que prévu avec ma fille , y laissant mes parents, car nous avons rapidement eu le sentiment que nous allions nous ennuyer et c'est pas l'ambiance général qui donnent envie d'y rester !!!
Le camping manque clairement de rigueur sur les tarifs, la restauration, l'organisation et l'animation.
Bonne chance ! -

The mojito at the bar was really bad. I've never had anything so awful. 🤮
Even the river water is drinkable compared to that.this is a translation, click here for the original
Mojito du bar vraiment pas bon. Je n’ai jamais bu quelque choses d’aussi horrible. 🤮
Même l’eau de la rivière est potable à côté de ça. -

We had a wonderful weekend with friends. Great campground—the casual beachside atmosphere right on the beach was really nice. The swimming is fantastic. The campground staff is really welcoming and cheerful. As a bonus, there was a nice little amateur concert...

Nous avons passé un très bon week-end entre amis. Super camping, l'esprit guinguette directement sur la plage très appréciable. La baignade est top. L'équipe du camping est vraiment accueillante et de bonne humeur. En prime, un petit concert amateur sympathique...
