  • 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…

Paul A.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked The site is certainly well run, the facilities being very clean and presentable
The bar area and food served was very good. I was there for two nights, of which one had live music. The band was very good and sounded great under the pergola.

Disliked This is only critique, rather than criticism.
Being a fair distance from any shops, I feel it would be not to much effort to offer relatively simple goods, such as milk, pastas and other daily items
This is my 14 th campsite stayed on, during my tour of France. And the only one that didn’t offer baked goods in the morning !! Why I ask ??

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked superb site. The team couldn't have been friendly or more helpful. The site is well laid out and spacious. The toilet block was immaculate.
There is a nice dog walk through fields and woodland, all within the site.
The bar area was relaxing and chilled with a good selection of beers.
No hesitation at all in revisiting on our next trip.

Sophie W.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Everything. It’s our new favourite campsite. Great attention to details in the shower block. Great pitches with choice of shade or sun and lots of hedges. Everything was clean and tidy. Management were really friendly. Visiting butcher had delicious kebabs. Pool was lovely. Site was peaceful. 30 mins from Brantôme, a town not to be missed!

Disliked We missed out on the highly recommended homemade pizzas as we left it too late to book

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello Sophie, thank you very much for this kind comment, what a pleasure to read that you enjoyed our campsite and especially to understand that we will see you again. Looking forward to it, take care of yourself.
I promise, next time you will taste our good pizzas.😉

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.
