  • Peaceful, family-run Dordogne campsite
  • Set in 26 acres of the Parc Naturel Régional Périgord Limousin
  • On-site bar and pizzeria, outdoor pool and fishing lake
You'll feel right at home at Le Lieu, a peaceful, friendly and family-run Dordogne site in the Périgord Vert within the Périgord-Limousin Regional Nature Park. The site spreads over 26 acres of green scenery, with plenty of space for all, a private fishing lake, and woodland and riverside walks. A village shop, bar, bakery and restaurant are all in the small village of St Jory de Chalais five minutes' walk away. A swimming lake with beach is within 15 kilometres' drive. Amicable and helpful owners Lorna and Russ haven't stopped there with their tiptop facilities and amenities: Le Lieu also has an outdoor pool, a play area, free wifi, and a fully licensed bar and pizzeria. This pretty place is just the ticket for a roomy and peaceful getaway, or to use as a base for getting out into all on offer around the Dordogne. At just four kilometres from the N21, it's also a most handy stopover for travellers on their way to southern France, Spain and Portugal – but when you see what's on offer here, you'll likely want to stay at least another few days…

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We stayed at Le Lieu Camping in July 2026 and had an absolutely wonderful holiday. The campsite is peaceful, beautifully maintained and the perfect place to relax.

The pitches are large, with plenty of space and privacy, and the amenities block was always immaculate. The swimming pool was spotless and a great place to cool off, while the bar area had a lovely atmosphere. The pizzas were delicious and made for an easy, enjoyable evening meal.

What really made our stay special were the owners, Charlene and Julien. They were incredibly welcoming, friendly and always available if we needed anything. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they genuinely made us feel at home.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Family run site, very welcoming and friendly, a great way to start our stay. Able to choose own pitch which are a great size and shady but recommend bringing chocks. Large clean pool area. Ample facilities which were very clean and well kept. The grounds are beautiful and make a very peaceful and relaxing stay. Bar and restaurant onsite was excellent! Pizza’s were the best we have had in a long time. Will definitely be back.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked We stayed on this wonderful, peaceful site in June 2026 and had an amazing time. The pitches were large with good privacy and the amenities block was always spotless. There is a lovely swimming pool which was always very clean, a great bar area, delicious pizza and Charline and Julien, the owners, were super friendly, always on hand and nothing was too much trouble. We absolutely loved our stay and wished we had booked for longer, but we will be back for sure.

Disliked Having to leave!

Local attractions

The spectacular Dordogne, with its splendid landscapes and scenery, prehistoric and ancient sites, jaw-dropping châteaux and deep dark caves, is a rightly popular place in France for visitors from within the country and all over the world. And then – mais oui – there's the cuisine: make sure to make room for Dordogne duck and goose, truffles, cheese, Bergerac and Monbazillac wines… For outdoorsy days/attempts to burn off laden heaps of Dordogne eats, a swimming lake (and beach) are 15 kilometres away at Grand Étang de Saint Saud; many kilometres of cycle trails are nearby, and canoes can be hired to explore the Dronne, Vézère and Dordogne rivers. The Le Lieu owners also particularly recommend the splendid subterranean experience of Villars Cave, 14 kilometres from base, as well as the spectacular châteaux at Puyguilhem (15 kilometres) and Hautefort (30 kilometres). Within day trip distance are the World War II memorial and museum at Oradour-sur-Glane; the cathedral and Roman remains of Périgueux, and the fab medieval centre of Limoges, all within 45 kilometres. Bergerac and Sarlat are both 75 kilometres away.
