  • Peaceful campsite in the landscaped gardens of a Dordogne château
  • Périgueux half an hour’s drive and Sarlat-la-Canéda 50 minutes
  • Shaded pitches with a swimming pool; three-course meals available
Here’s a rare chance to camp up in the landscaped back garden of a two-hundred-year-old mansion… Château La Barge is a wonderfully romantic spot to linger, five minutes’ drive from the pretty village of Cubjac-Auvézère-Val d’Ans in the Dordogne countryside. This small and peaceful campsite has just a few pitches, all with electric hook-ups and all shaded by fruit and walnut trees, with modern amenities a short walk away up a flight of stone steps. There’s a swimming pool on site – great for cooling off on summer days – and you can also go wild swimming in the Auvézère River, just five minutes’ walk away. Deckchairs and tables are provided in the garden – pick up picnic ingredients from the shops in Rodas (five minutes’ drive). For those evenings when you don’t feel like cooking for yourselves, the site owners can organise a communal barbecue, or you can pre-order three-course fixed-price menus and eat alfresco under the covered pergola. All you need to do is turn up, enjoy a glass of wine and perhaps make new friends among your fellow campers as you dine.

What customers say

This small, peaceful campsite, set in the grounds of a chateau, is praised for its excellent hosts, Elisa and Roland, who offer warm welcomes and organize communal dinners. Guests enjoy the large pitches, tranquil atmosphere, and the swimming pool. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are generally reported as clean. Some reviews mention the site's rural location means a drive to shops, and a few guests noted steps to sanitary facilities could be challenging. Advertised options for pitches have been flagged for review.

Fully-serviced grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Hosts were lovely and welcoming and the chateau was charming. Great that meals are provided but make sure you pre-order in advance. Pitches were set well apart and felt private.

Disliked The only downside were the midges. We were bitten so insect repellant a must!

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are sorry the midges have bitten you.This year the mosquitos were very
active.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked This was not like your usual camping site. We parked our campervan on, what is the front lawn of a small chateau. The facilities were clean - including a really good shower. The hosts were very personable, regularly ensuring we were okay for the 3 nights we stayed and if we needed anything. They also offer a laundry service and bakery order collection. Highly recommended and we will definitely be returning.

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: We are glad you liked our campsite. We hope to see you again next year.

Fully-serviced grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We loved the friendly ambience and relaxed set-up. Beautiful setting and wonderful hosts (Roland and Elisa)who made us welcome from the minute we arrived with a cool drink.
The pool was open and we made good use of it. The surroundings were beautiful and so quiet, only noise was birdsong. We were lucky enough to enjoy two evening meals with them hosting.

Disliked It's only a niggle but we had to ask Roland to open the manhole cover to empty our toilet cassette. This was not enough to spoil things though, far from it, we got to have another chat with him every time.!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, it was very nice to have you on our camping.

About the manhole, that was only so you didn't have to bring the cassette down the stairs to the sanitary facilities. There is the official place to empty the cassette.

A truly unique way to immerse yourself in the French countryside

Kevin and Jill G. 1 review

Fully-serviced grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Roland and Elisa were very welcoming and helpful, but also discreet.
We liked camping in the garden, with lots of beautiful shrubs to admire. The old chateau gave an air of magic.
The plots are generous with shade and privacy if required.
We liked the quietness of the area, with easy access to the river Auvezere which Lottie, our labrador, was particularly grateful for when temperatures peaked at 34 degrees!
We are very grateful to our hosts for helping make our stay so memorable.
Thank you Roland and Elisa

From the manager: It was wonderful to have you here, thanks for your review. Till next time!

Local attractions

Château La Barge is set in hilly Dordogne countryside, a mecca for hikers and mountain bikers – in fact the Grande Randonnée 646 route between Perigueux and Sainte-Foy-la-Grande goes right past the grounds. You can also paddle down the Auvézère by canoe from Cubjac-Auvézère-Val d’Ans (five minutes’ drive). For more cultural pursuits, you have a choice of gorgeous and photogenic Dordogne towns and villages. Start your exploration of the area at the striking Byzantine cathedral in Périgueux (half an hour), or visit the troglodyte caves and Benedictine abbey in Brantome (45 minutes). Historic Sarlat-la-Canéda (50 minutes) has plenty of gourmet restaurants in its labyrinthine medieval centre, and there are lively produce markets there on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Step back in time to visit the magical reinterpretation of prehistoric paintings at Lascaux IV - International Centre of Cave Art (half an hour), or go deep underground and take a boat ride on the subterranean lake at Le Gouffre (90 minutes) near Padirac.
