  • Peaceful site next to the Dronne river and close to the village centre
  • A short drive to vineyards and châteaux in Bordeaux and Saint-Emilion
  • Pool, football pitch and restaurant with wood-fired pizza oven
Ready your active self and pack up your sightseeing spirit, for there's plenty to see and do around Camping l'Eau Vive, on the banks of the Dronne river in the Gironde department. This relaxing retreat lies in a peaceful spot across five lush acres, a short and pleasant amble from the centre of Les Églisottes-et-Chalaures village. A train station is half a kilometre away too, for getting to and from if you’re travelling sans car. A stay here will have you right next door to a tennis court, and within easy reach of a horse riding centre and guided canoe trips from Coutras. A go-karting and motor racing track is at the Circuit de Haute Saintonge. If you need a bit of kit for your adventuring, Camping l'Eau Vive guests can hire canoes and rowing boats to take directly to the water’s edge, and bikes are available to rent too should one prefer to tour on terra firma. Facilities at Camping L'Eau Vive include a pool with adjoining sunbathing space, as well as areas for volleyball, football, pétanque and ping pong for sporty sorts. A playground is also to hand to entertain the kids. Eats on site are sorted at the communal barbecues, or should you prefer to relinquish tong duty, the on-site restaurant serves burgers, woodfired pizzas and the like to eat in or take away.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Plenty of space around the motorhome pitches and to play games outside.

Disliked Unfortunately the restaurant was not open, and we were not told about this on arrival. There is very little in the surrounding village in walking distance. Overall we did not feel very welcome and the shower/toilet block could be cleaner.

From the manager: Bonjour; Désolé pour la restauration il est vrai que la personne en charge de la cuisine et du nettoyage des sanitaires etait abscente ce jour la, nous verifions pour autant les sanitaires reguliérement
Par contre siv ous vous etes senti mal acceuillis c'est que vous reservez et ne declarez pas les enfants, ce qui explique cet impatience à l'acceuil

Site felt unsafe so after we left after 15 minutes

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Nothing

Disliked Advertises pizza but it's not an option. Lots of young males who were acting suspiciously. It didn't feel safe at all. So much so that we left after 15 minutes.

From the manager: Bonjour,
Nous ne comprenons pas pourquoi vous etes parti sans nous voir,
Nous avons une trés bonne clientelle, vous avez choisi un bel emplacement hombragé, il y avait peu de monde ce jours la et je ne me rappel pas qu'il y avait des jeunes
Quant à la pizza c'est les samedi soir, on ne peut pas allumer un four feu de bois pour une pizza, mais nous faisont restauration tous les soirs sur demande meme pour une seule personne

Very spacious pitches with equal amount of shade and sun if required. Fresh…

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked De camperplek, ruim!, de camping niet al te groot, schoon sanitair, mooi (klein) zwembad, rivier naast de camping (zwemmen), klein terras/eetgelegenheid, honden toegestaan (max. 2) Fijne en levendige sfeer.
St. Emilion op 17 km afstand, zeer de moeite waard om te bezoeken. Bordeaux op 50 km. afstand, dus ook prima camping als tussenstop.

Disliked Eigenlijk niets te melden, misschien dat de camping wat verouderd aan doet, alsof er te weinig tijd, personeel of aandacht (en/of geld is)-om aan structureel onderhoud te werken. Basis is wel goed.

Sauber, engagiert und gute Umgebung aber eng

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Bisher die beste Sanitäranlage eines pitchup-Campingplatzes!
(In den Duschen könnte noch ein zusätzlicher Haken angebracht werden). Alles sauber!
Die Betreiber sind sehr engagiert.
Man kann im Fluss baden, SUP oder eigenes Boot fahren.

Zum Beispiel: Höhle von Lascaux2 oder 4mit Museum (Achtung in der Hochsaison: rechtzeitig vorher Datum und Uhrzeit online buchen) und die Felsenstadt La Madeleine Perigord (Village troglodytique bei Tursacund spektakulärer Fort et Cité troglodytiques bei Peyzac-le-Moustier) etwa 1,5 bis 2 Auto-Stunden entfernt. Lohnt sich sehr. Dort auch zahlreiche Grotten.

Disliked Zelt- Stellplatz klein und bei vielen Gästen sehr beengt.
Die Nachtruhe ab 23 Uhr wurde leider von unseren französischen und belgischen Nachbarn nicht eingehalten.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked The site was quiet and the toilet block was clean despite it looking old. The showers were also hot.

Disliked We arrived thinking we could relax around the indoor pool that is advertised on PitchUp (the outdoor pool was yet to open for the season) but were informed after asking that they didn’t have an indoor pool at the moment. This was quite disappointing. Furthermore, the photos on pitch up seemed to show lots of tent/ caravan pitches, but it seemed that the majority of them had been filled with static caravans/ huts. Although the site was quiet, this, for us, wasn’t as pretty as the pictures suggested it was.

A great stop off and reasonably priced

Local attractions

After your canoeing on the Dronne, head to the tennis court 200 metres from the site’s entrance; golfing days too can be spent at the local golf course in Gardegan-et-Tourtirac. If you’re more of a horsey sort, a horse riding centre is eight kilometres from base, or watery types can get more Dronne river action with guided tours from Coutras. Should you be rather more interested in trying local tipples, take the tourist train from Saint-Emilion around the local châteaux and wine cellars, tasting wines as you make your merry (and increasingly merrier) way around. If you’re a fan of delving into local history, 25 kilometres away in Aubeterre-sur-Dronne is a spectacular subterranean church – the largest of its sort in Europe – carved from stone way back in the 12th century. Also within easy reach is the historical show in Castillon-la-Bataille, swashbuckling its way through depictions of the battle that marked the end of the Hundred Years' War.
