Family-friendly site surrounded by the orchards of the Lot Valley
On the riverfront, 15 minutes’ drive from Puy-l'Évêque
Swimming pool, pétanque, fishing and canoe rental on site

Prepping for a holiday in the Lot Valley, and preferably one which involves lots of fishing, swimming and perhaps a bit of canoeing too? Let Camping Les Catalpas do the honours. Directly on the Lot river, the family-friendly site welcomes guests to fish or go wild swimming in the river. It also rents out canoes (as long as children are accompanied by a responsible adult). This is a place that's surrounded by the scenic orchards of Lot-et-Garonne in the southwest of France and a short drive away from local shops and restaurants. Between Périgord and Gascony, and within 35 minutes’ drive of the south of Dordogne, it’s a very handy base for tracking down hiking trails, towns and villages with tasty food and stunning castles. You may want to start by taking a tour of the bastides (medieval fortified towns) of the Lot Valley. The site is a 20-minute drive from Monflanquin and 35 minutes from Villeneuve-sur-Lot. If touring castles is one of your top priorities too, make the 10-minute drive to Bonaguil Castle. For food shopping, the closest shops are within a five- to 10-minute drive of the site. There are many fine ways to end the afternoon at Camping Les Catalpas, whether it’s preparing for an evening of fishing or taking a dip in the outdoor swimming pool, which is only 1.45 metres deep. For those who take their family pétanque tournaments very seriously, there is also a pétanque court on site. Dogs are very welcome to join the holiday here, so no family member (furry or not) has to stay at home.

What customers say

This pleasant site on the River Lot offers private pitches with electric and clean facilities. Guests appreciated the shade from trees and a lovely swimming pool, though it was not open until mid-June during a May 2025 stay. The site is approximately 3km from shops in Fumel. While owners are friendly and welcoming, guests noted the need to bring their own toilet paper, a situation the manager attributes to issues with theft. Wi-Fi is now a paid service managed by a third party. The dishwashing area was described as tired in August 2026.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked L’accueil. La propreté des sanitaires. Effectivement le bâtiment est un peu vieillot mais les douches sont hyper spacieuseset propres. L’eau est réglable et sans limite Les toilettes ont de vraies cloisons. Ce ne sont pas des box comme pour les animaux. Camping qui peut être perçu al’ancienne pour certain mais que je trouve beaucoup plus humain que la plupart des camping "industriel'.

Disliked Il manque juste du papier toilette dans les sanitaires

From the manager: Bonjour Laurence et merci pour votre avis . Oui effectivement pas de papier toilette ou tout du moins plus de papier toilette dans les WC . nous faisons face à de plus de plus en plus d'incivilités et le vol en fait partie . nous ne pouvons plus financer ce genre de prestations sans augmenter nos tarifs et prendre le risque de ne plus être dans la catégorie voulue ...

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Il nous a fallu un certain temps pour trouver le camping, peut-être parce que nous n'avions pas de voiture et que les pistes cyclables n'étaient pas très bien balisées. Mais notre séjour au camping a été très agréable, et il y avait suffisamment d'ombre pour s'asseoir confortablement sur notre emplacement.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Nice and small. Lovely shade from trees. Very private pitches and lovely clean swimming pool.

Disliked Wasn't expecting to need own loo roll

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Bonjour,
nous avons bien pris note de votre avis et vous remercions pour cette jolie note .
Nous sommes conscients et cherchons des solutions concernant le papier toilette . sI nous en mettons il disparait dans les 15 Minutes . Intégrer dans les tarifs peut être !
concernant la wifi et face aux différents incidents survenus dans certaines recherches de clients, nous avons effectivement décidé de ne plus mettre en accès notre BOX . Nous avons de ce fait pris les services d'une société qui gère ce service . Il est donc payant et ce sont eux qui décident des tarifs .
je vous souhaite bonne route et vous remercie pour votre séjour dans notre camping

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Very pleasant site next to the River Lot, private pitches with electric.
Clean well kept facilities.
Plenty of scenic walks in the area.

Disliked Great looking swimming pool on site but despite some good weather it wasn't due to open until mid-June and it was May when we stayed. Other sites we stayed at did have their pools open. 3km from shops and restaurants at Fumel.

Local attractions

Foodies may want to begin their time at Camping Les Catalpas with an outing to the Farm and Pruneau Museum (an hour’s drive), a place dedicated to the indulgent prune. In Montayral, there is also a shop selling delicious prunes should you want to make it your go-to holiday snack. Spend some time underground at Grottes de Fontirou (45 minutes), a series of caves lit by lamps. If you’d rather stick to exploring above ground, Villeneuve-sur-Lot (35 minutes) is a scenic spot to do so. The bastide town has traditional markets, grand town gates and gorgeous architecture all along the Lot river. Bonaguil Castle (10 minutes) is another stunning spot to stroll around. Surrounded by lush, green countryside, the fortified castle was originally built in the 13th century, making it very, very old. How does going horse-riding sound? There are horse-riding schools within a short drive of the site; the nearest is a 10-minute drive away.
