  • Small friendly site with château views
  • Paradise for active types: hiking, biking, quads, hot air ballooning
  • Less than an hour’s drive from Dordogne city of Périgueux
You certainly won’t want to forget to pack a camera for your stay at Camping Belle Vue, a small site five minutes’ drive from the spectacularly scenic village of Hautefort in the Dordogne region of the south of France – by the time you leave, it’ll be full of stunning shots. Active types should make a beeline for Belle Vue, as there’s plenty in the area around the site to keep you busy: 100 kilometres of trails crisscross the Dordogne area, so hikers, bikers and horseback riders are well catered for, and those who prefer water-based exploration can have canoeing and kayaking adventures nearby. In the area around Hautefort, you can also go quad biking, take to the skies for a hot air balloon ride, or keep it grounded at the village tennis court or by casting a line at the lake. Back on site, relax with a dip in the pool or kick back on dry land taking in the belle vues over the countryside to Château de Hautefort in the near distance. When you’re ready for some munch, you have tons of options: wander over to the bar-restaurant for a sit-down meal, grab some supplies from the on-site shop (or the supermarket in Hautefort) to grill up on the barbecue, or venture off site for a treat at one of the restaurants within 10 minutes of Belle Vue. Plus breakfast is delivered to Belle Vue every morning, so you should have boundless energy for doing it all again.

Liked: È un campeggio piccolo, molto grazioso e tranquillo, immerso nella campagna francese. I gestori sono gentilissimi e molto cordiali, attenti all'ambiente e alle necessità dei loro ospiti. Servizi molto puliti. Piazzole ampie ed erbose.

Liked: Thank you so very much to Simon to Cal for being the most perfect hosts. A stay at this site goes above and beyond all expectations. Our girls enjoyed the most magical time and for that we thank you immensely. The beautiful location, personal service and immaculately clean facilities were an absolute joy.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Our "job" is made all the easier when we receive lovely guests...and your family definitely falls into that category. Your girls are an absolute credit to you and it was a pleasure to look after you all. We very much hope that we will all meet up again :)

TE4 electric grass tent pitch (four person)

Liked: We have just stayed at Camping Belle Vue for 9 nights and from the moment we arrived Simon and Cal made us feel welcome. The site is wonderful with beautiful views across to the Chateau and is lovely and clean. All the facilities were also spotless and the showers were great with loads of hot water. The swimming pool was fantastic and again spotless and we used it pretty much every day. Simon and Cal go out of their way to enhance your stay from delivering freshly baked bread and croissants from the local bakery each morning to having a meal on the evening; which is definitely a must!!! As Cals cooking is amazing, some of the best meals we have ever had!! There is plenty of local information available too and wonderful places nearby to visit. Thankyou again Simon and Cal for sharing you beautiful home with us, because that's what it is like, it's not just a campsite, it's being welcomed into their home and what a home it is!!!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much you two for that lovely review...we are very lucky with the guests that we receive, and it is generally a pleasure to look after our visitors...that is no exception when it comes to you both as you made it so easy by being the genuine people that you are. We very much hope that we'll meet again.

If you are travelling in France I would highly recommend this site.

Liked: This was just perfect. We extended our stay and hope to return some day. From the tranquil peaceful setting to the immaculate facilities and the kindest of hosts it was a complete break. Waking up each morning to birdsong and views of the chateau was magical. Thank you both Cal and Simon for your hospitality.

Disliked: Nothing

From the manager: Thanks for the kind review Sam; it was our absolute pleasure to look after you both and we are very pleased that you loved your stay so much that you extended it. We very much hope that you'll return as well...we enjoyed the banter :)

Liked: Simon and Cal are wonderful! It is very special to stay on a small site with two such lovely people who take care of you. We enjoyed our second stay even more than the first: fantastic walks; cycle to chateau; having the pool to ourselves and another lovely meal in the barn.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Ruth, your comments have made us blush ! It was lovely to read what you wrote but, to be honest, our "job" is easy when we get such lovely guests. It was great to see you both again and hope to see you to make it a hat-trick :)

YE4 electric grass touring pitch (four person)

Liked: We stopped for a couple of nights at Camping Belle Vue en route to the Netherlands for a family reunion. The campsite is small (8 pitches I think) which I suppose means that you are not going to get the major facilities you get on larger sites, but this is more than made up for by the personal attention (and there is a swimming pool, thankfully as the temperatures were very high when we stayed). The pitch was fine, level, and overlooking a field, with a feeling of spaciousness. There seems plenty to do in the surrounding area. The first night, we booked in for a meal, served in the barn. It so happened that it was Greek night. The food was very good (no plate smashing though), with something for the kids too. It was good to be able to chat with other guests in a social setting (something that hasn't happened on other sites we visited this summer) and there was a quiz for further entertainment (with a bottle of bubbly as the prize).

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks very much for the very kind review; we're delighted that you enjoyed your brief stay with us and we hope that the family reunion went well. We thank you for your kind words about the service we provide...we always say that whilst we don't (officially) have 5 Stars, we like to add little touches (like the breakfast delivery, and the quiz) to make a stay more memorable...we hope to see you again.

TE4 electric grass tent pitch (four person)

Liked: From the time we arrived to the time we left we felt like we were home from home! SIMON & CAL run the campsite like a 5 star hotel with their attention to detail and hard work to keep the site running smoothly. The pool was always very clean as were the showers and toilet area. SIMON & CAL do their very best to make it possible to make new friends with their cooking and quiz nights which are open to all with Cals cooking a highlight! Nearby village has great butcher/ grocery/ deli and very good baker. We tended to cycle about the area although hilly we felt very safe on the roads as they weren't too busy!

Disliked: Having to leave!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: It is a real compliment to know that you felt like being at home...thank you for that. It is lovely to know that you feel like we offer 5 Stars, that makes us very proud; cleanliness is an area that we work very hard on and it's great that you appreciated that. We were sad to see you leave as well but just know that we will see each other again :)

Small peaceful, well run site with no distractions from total relaxati

Local attractions

A stay at Camping Belle Vue has to start with a trip in to Hautefort – the village has stunning little streets you’ll want to poke around, a museum of medicine and (overlooking the lot) a spectacular medieval château and gardens that eagle-eyed rom-dram fans may recognise. Appetite for châteaux well and truly whetted? You won’t be let down around here: within about an hour’s drive of the site, you can traipse around the halls and gardens of Puymartin, Jumilhac, Castelnaud and Beynac. Belle Vue is less than an hour from the shops, restaurants and sights of Périgueux and there are tons of scenic villages to explore if you’re looking for something fably French for your Insta. Terrasson, Tourtoirac and the walled-in village of Domme are highly recommended, and the latter two aren’t just gorge on the surface: their caves are top-notch too. If you’re feeling at home below the ground, Lascaux cave (35 minutes away) is a must for the prehistoric cave paintings. A little closer to home base, explore the trails and villages of Perigord-Limousin Nature Park, or try something different with a truffle hunting trip at Domaine Truffier de Saleix.
