  • Small family-friendly site overlooking the Dordogne valley
  • A 15-minute drive from Sarlat-la-Canéda; Lascaux caves 25 minutes
  • Pool, playground, café, library, local wines and artisan beers
Domaine Des Mathevies is a small, family-friendly campsite deep in the Dordogne countryside. Set in an elevated position high above the Dordogne valley, it's an excellent location to sit back and soak up the views, the peace and every last drop of summer sunshine… The grounds here are very varied, with 2.5 hectares of landscaped terracing and woodland to explore. The facilities are varied too – there's an outdoor pool, a playground, sports areas for tennis, badminton or table tennis and a small on-site library too. There's also an old barn that has been lovingly converted into a café, The Cosy Nook, where mornings are all about baguettes, croissants and coffee (which you can either have on the terrace or take back to your pitch). As the temperature rises, settle down under the shade cast by the lime trees with an ice cream or perhaps a citron pressé… And in the evening, the terrace hosts food trucks (in July and August), with different flavours on the menu every day. Vegetarian and vegan options are readily available, as are kids' portions. After dinner, you can retire to the bar, which serves artisanal beers as well as a range of Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion wines.

What customers say

This exceptionally clean and well-maintained campsite offers a friendly, relaxed atmosphere with helpful owners. Guests praise the lovely pool, excellent sanitary facilities, and the convenience of on-site food trucks and bread ordering. Pitches are a good size, offering a mix of sun and shade, and the location is ideal for exploring the Dordogne. While Wi-Fi can be temperamental and some found breakfast collection times late, the overall experience is highly positive, with many planning return visits.

Electric optional grass pitch (supreme)

Liked The cleanliness of the facilities was a huge plus for my family and I ,constantly being cleaned thoroughly and well looked after! The bar area was great,really calm atmosphere with excellent service plus the food trucks most evenings was a really nice touch.
The pitch was well looked after,brilliant size and close enough to everything we needed.
The pool was brilliant (and well used by us!) with plenty of space around it,lots of parasols for shade if needed and so clean!
We definitely recommend this site as a base to explore some beautiful parts of the Dordogne and would absolutely return again!
Thank you to Team Mathevies for working hard to make our stay so enjoyable!

Electric optional grass pitch (supreme)

Liked We usually stay on tiny campsites so we’re worried about staying on a larger site. However, the pitch we were on was quite secluded and very quiet.

The pool wasn’t overcrowded and the bar/restaurant had a really lovely feel to it. The site feels very safe so the kids wandered up to the playground and cafe on their own.

They have pop-up food stalls each night which are amazing, alongside their own offerings. The restaurant’s own pizza’s, homemade flapjacks and icecream coffee/chocolate milk are fab too!

The owners and staff are really friendly and helpful. There’s lots of info available about what to do locally. There’s also tennis and table tennis on site.

We spent far more time on the campsite than we thought we would, often staying there for dinner rather than going out, because it was so lovely.

The location is also great, as it’s a short drive to Sarlat and lots of activities e.g. canoeing, gardens/castles

Electric optional grass pitch (supreme)

Liked This is a gorgeous, very well run campsite, with a lovely ambience and very clean facilities. The owners and staff are very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. We really liked the terrace with its bar and you can also get a coffee throughout the day. The food trucks each day were very welcome and offered a good range of different foods, e.g. Indian, Moroccan, fish and chips, pizza. The site is also very family friendly and the pool is lovely.

Disliked As a retired couple, we found the site very busy, but that's because of the time of year we came. If we were to come again, it would be outside of school holidays!!

Liked De camping en plek

Disliked Wij waren op doorreis vanuit Spanje naar Nederland en wouden paar dagen in Dordogne verblijven. Via deze site geboekt en betaald maar bij aankomst bleek dat we ook extra voor de stroom en voor de hond moesten betalen. Camping eigenaar excuseerde zich maar ligt aan de boekingssite zei ze

Electric optional grass pitch (supreme)

Liked The owners were friendly and there was a lovely relaxed atmosphere at the campsite.
We enjoyed having a cool drink at the Cozy Nook in the evening. It was handy to have the opportunity to order a bar meal and we enjoyed the food trucks when they visited.
It was really convenient being able to order our bread the day before for delivery to the campsite and the bread and pain aux chocolate were both fantastic.
The campsite was clean .
The pool and surrounding area was clean.
The facilities were clean.
The campsite was quiet.
Having a food waste bin at the dishwashing area was helpful.
Pitches were a mix of sun and shade.

Disliked There were no private areas with washbasins available.
There was no waste/grey water disposal on site.

Local attractions

This area is rich in history – in fact, the site's farmhouse was a centre for local Resistance activity during the Second World War. Along the banks of the Dordogne river, the Hundred Years' War was fought. And, in places like the caves at nearby Lascaux (25 minutes' drive) or Les Eyzies (30 minutes), early humans sheltered from the elements, leaving vivid cave paintings that have survived to this day. Les Mathevies is a hamlet to the village of Sainte-Nathalène, about 15 minutes' drive from the medieval town of Sarlat-la-Canéda. This is the historic centre point of the Dordogne valley, with many restaurants and markets to explore – and the campsite is also within easy reach of other key tourist sites like Beynac (25 minutes), Castelnaud-la-Chapelle (30 minutes) or Domme (30 minutes), each of which is home to an impressive castle. There's also the Dordogne river itself, which can be reached within 15 minutes' drive for activities like swimming or canoeing – it’s also great for quiet time simply appreciating nature.
