  • 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…

Lovely, private spots with great facilities and super friendly hosts who'll do anything for you. Delicious pizzas and a good pool. A few minor points noted, but everyone wants to come back.

Sophie W.

Power optional grass site

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

Would definitely visit again and for longer than 1 night next time.

Jacqueline C.

Power optional grass site

Liked The previous reviews are what influenced our stay here and my goodness they were right. What an exceptional site and I just wish they were all like this. It is a beautiful, peaceful site with fantastic pitches and immaculate services but its uniqueness is down to the owners. Charlene and Julien are absolutely dedicated and make you feel so welcome without imposing on you. Their attention to detail is such a credit. The toilet/shower block is pristine and includes shower gel and boxes to put your clothes in. The bar/restaurant is in a beautiful stone building with lovely outside seating. Julian’s pizzas are delicious. The pool is delightful.

We toured France for 5 weeks and this is without doubt the best campsite we stayed on. Having such impressive owners makes such a difference and all other sites felt inferior because of it. We will definitely go back even if it means a detour.

Disliked Absolutely nothing.

Disliked Bar was only open after 6 pm

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Lucy and Jon for your feedback. Indeed, with only 2 on the camping we are not able to open the bar before 6 PM outside of the summer period. In July/August we have a seasonal worker that allows us to be open from 12 PM until the last customer. We were pleased to have been helpful to you in setting up your work post in this idyllic setting. Looking forward to welcoming you again.

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.
