With no reviews of this wonderful campsite when we booked we wondered what we would find but nous avons eu de la chance! Sheer bliss! Our boys, 12 and 7, had the freedom to play and make friends amongst the playground, ping pong, tennis, pools, treehouse, sandpit and beautiful surroundings. We all loved the campfire, bbq, boules tournament, taking the campsite dog for walks, picking blackberries and enjoying the company of the wonderfully welcoming owners and our fellow campers. The facilities were clean, bright and plentiful with added touches such as fresh sunflowers and handmade mirrors. When not on site there is plenty to do - fishing (yummy bbq trout!), canoeing (very safe for all the family), go-ape style adventures, swimming in the Dordogne and, of course, the stunning scenery, villages, chateau etc. The young English/Aussie owners have done so much to transform this previously neglected site so if you do find old reviews on the internet don't believe them!

We finally found a small campsite (under 30 pitches) which reminds us of camping in the 70's but which has all the facilities on-site to keep the family happy - swimming pool, tennis court (free!), cafe/bar/restaurant. The pitches are large, each one is a different shape, beautifully landscaped and because the site is elevated and terraced, most have gorgeous views down the valley. Clean, well-maintained site with a lovely sanitary block. The difference with this site is the personal attention, care and the warm welcome and au revoir from the young English/ Australian couple who brought this tired site back to life since 2008. Best of all, the kids can run freely without being watched. No busy roads, no noise, no traffic. Just calm, beautiful countryside surrounds, perfect for walking (you can even take the campsite dog along which was a great incentive for the kids). If like us, you are looking for a campsite without the hype but with all the comforts you wont be disappointed.
