  • Small friendly site with château views
  • Paradise for active types: hiking, biking, quads, hot air ballooning
  • Less than an hour’s drive from Dordogne city of Périgueux
You certainly won’t want to forget to pack a camera for your stay at Camping Belle Vue, a small site five minutes’ drive from the spectacularly scenic village of Hautefort in the Dordogne region of the south of France – by the time you leave, it’ll be full of stunning shots. Active types should make a beeline for Belle Vue, as there’s plenty in the area around the site to keep you busy: 100 kilometres of trails crisscross the Dordogne area, so hikers, bikers and horseback riders are well catered for, and those who prefer water-based exploration can have canoeing and kayaking adventures nearby. In the area around Hautefort, you can also go quad biking, take to the skies for a hot air balloon ride, or keep it grounded at the village tennis court or by casting a line at the lake. Back on site, relax with a dip in the pool or kick back on dry land taking in the belle vues over the countryside to Château de Hautefort in the near distance. When you’re ready for some munch, you have tons of options: wander over to the bar-restaurant for a sit-down meal, grab some supplies from the on-site shop (or the supermarket in Hautefort) to grill up on the barbecue, or venture off site for a treat at one of the restaurants within 10 minutes of Belle Vue. Plus breakfast is delivered to Belle Vue every morning, so you should have boundless energy for doing it all again.

TE4 powered grass tent campsite (four person)

Liked: Everything ! The campsite is especially well looked after and run by Simon and Cal. They have put a great deal of thought into how they want to run their business and their primary focus is their guests. Before we even arrived we were asked if they could get us anything from the shops which was so considerate. We were greeted and shown the amenities and pitch personally which was lovely. Each day we were able to order fresh bread and croissants ( scrumptious ) that were delivered to our tent. The site is beautiful with an amazing with a view of Chateau Hautefort. It is super clean. Our two dogs were also spoilt with little treats. Yes they have thought of everything ! We can only say go and experience a wonderful place with two genuinely wonderful people who want you to have a relaxed and happy stay.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: My wife and I had the most enjoyable holiday at Camping Belle View. Simon and Carl are the best hosts anyone could wish for. The site is beautifully situated on the outskirts of Hautefort with great views of the fantastic Chateau. We dined at the camp and it must be said that Carl is a wonderful chef and his gastronomic creations were superb. We had issues with our car and our hosts could not have been more helpful and sympathetic which made us both feel safer and reassured. We cannot recommend Camping Belle View enough for a peaceful, happy and wonderful holiday in beautiful surroundings with two great people looking after you.

From the manager: Thanks for the great review you two...it really warmed our hearts so thank you for that. We always find it easy to look after our guests (especially the lovely ones !) and you both, definitely, fall into that category and it made hosting you even easier :) We are very lucky to be situated where we are and to have such stunning scenery around us...we're glad that you enjoyed it. You were very unlucky with your car problems but it was our pleasure to be able to help...we do hope that we will meet up again.

TE4 powered grass tent campsite (four person)

Liked: We have just stayed at Camping Belle Vue for 9 nights and from the moment we arrived Simon and Cal made us feel welcome. The site is wonderful with beautiful views across to the Chateau and is lovely and clean. All the facilities were also spotless and the showers were great with loads of hot water. The swimming pool was fantastic and again spotless and we used it pretty much every day. Simon and Cal go out of their way to enhance your stay from delivering freshly baked bread and croissants from the local bakery each morning to having a meal on the evening; which is definitely a must!!! As Cals cooking is amazing, some of the best meals we have ever had!! There is plenty of local information available too and wonderful places nearby to visit. Thankyou again Simon and Cal for sharing you beautiful home with us, because that's what it is like, it's not just a campsite, it's being welcomed into their home and what a home it is!!!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much you two for that lovely review...we are very lucky with the guests that we receive, and it is generally a pleasure to look after our visitors...that is no exception when it comes to you both as you made it so easy by being the genuine people that you are. We very much hope that we'll meet again.

If you are travelling in France I would highly recommend this site.

Liked: This was just perfect. We extended our stay and hope to return some day. From the tranquil peaceful setting to the immaculate facilities and the kindest of hosts it was a complete break. Waking up each morning to birdsong and views of the chateau was magical. Thank you both Cal and Simon for your hospitality.

Local attractions

A stay at Camping Belle Vue has to start with a trip in to Hautefort – the village has stunning little streets you’ll want to poke around, a museum of medicine and (overlooking the lot) a spectacular medieval château and gardens that eagle-eyed rom-dram fans may recognise. Appetite for châteaux well and truly whetted? You won’t be let down around here: within about an hour’s drive of the site, you can traipse around the halls and gardens of Puymartin, Jumilhac, Castelnaud and Beynac. Belle Vue is less than an hour from the shops, restaurants and sights of Périgueux and there are tons of scenic villages to explore if you’re looking for something fably French for your Insta. Terrasson, Tourtoirac and the walled-in village of Domme are highly recommended, and the latter two aren’t just gorge on the surface: their caves are top-notch too. If you’re feeling at home below the ground, Lascaux cave (35 minutes away) is a must for the prehistoric cave paintings. A little closer to home base, explore the trails and villages of Perigord-Limousin Nature Park, or try something different with a truffle hunting trip at Domaine Truffier de Saleix.
