  • 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…

Jaime G.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked This place is a little gen,its such a lovely place to stay. Staff are friendly and go above and beyond to help you. We forgot our tent pegs and Charlene was there to help. We had lovely pizzas too in the evening stone baked by the owners. The atmosphere is one of kindness and french hospitality at its best. The proof of this place being a lovely place to stay is that we returned for our second year, and plan to also return next year too. Keep doing such an amazing job.

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 ??

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello Paul,
Great if you have a good time with us. You're right the band Paris/Londres was excellent.

Thank you for this feedback. We do indeed have this project for a small grocery store, but there's a whole organization to put in place regarding the provision of bread. Having a bakery in the village, we want to support the local economy. We'll see in the future.
With pleasure.

Liked Camping situé en pleine campagne d'un calme et d'une sérénité absolu.
Visite d'un chevreuil sous mon auvent du camping car à la nuit tombée.
Propriétaires très sympas, sanitaires irréprochables, snack très correct, agencement extérieurs très accueillants.

From the manager: Bonjour Georges,
Wahoo quel beau cadeau de la nature que cette visite. Effectivement ce cadre en pleine nature permet ce genre de belle rencontre.
Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé un bon moment chez nous et que nous ayons pu répondre à votre demande d'emplacement permettant le fonctionnement de votre parabole.
Au plaisir.

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.
