Camping & Campsites Dordogne

Why should I camp in the Dordogne?

There are many reason to choose camping in Dordogne:

  • A rural idyll where the pace of life is nice and slow
  • The food is arguably the best in France
  • Small towns and villages with cobbled streets and traditional buildings
  • Plenty of things to do for the whole family

Laid-back Dordogne is perfect for a camping holiday

The French and English fought many times over the Dordogne, and a visit to the area reveals why neither country was prepared to give it up easily. The vineyards produce Bergerac wine, truffles and walnuts, and honey-hued chateaux can be spotted everywhere. Luxury camping sites in the region can be found in picturesque spots offering accommodation in some very comfortable mobile homes.

Beaches, Nature & Cities

Beaches and nature in the Dordogne

The Dordogne is without a coastline, but there are beach areas along the rivers where canoes set off and paddling can be enjoyed. The lush landscape, open farmland and meandering waterways are what this area is all about.

Cities in Dordogne

The capital is Perigueux, and the large city of Bergerac is worth a visit too. Pretty villages like Sarlat, Rocamadour and Domme are nice to stroll around and partake of a light lunch or evening meal.
