  • Wolves of Chabrières 35 minutes; museums of Limoges 75 minutes
  • Playgrounds and tractor rides; café and pizza night; launderette
Take a look at this small, scenic site by a lake in central France. Free from pesticides, Camping La Semnadisse is a natural wildlife haven where kids can help with taking care of the farm animals daily. Ancient oak trees dot the site, and the bathing lake is a popular spot for cooling off on hot summer’s days. The kids will have plenty to do here – from multiple playgrounds, to tractor rides through the farm, not to mention a spot of animal husbandry, with eggs to collect and sheep and ducks to feed (and pet, of course). Or you can hire a bike and go for a cycle ride exploring the local countryside, looking for kingfishers and wild orchids. Rainy day? No problem: there’s table tennis and table football inside a large shed, where it’s also possible to browse a selection of books, which you can then read at leisure, perhaps while nursing a drink in the comfort of the colourful café. Campfires and barbecues are allowed, and there’s a well-stocked supermarket in the town of Gouzon (15 minutes’ drive). If you happen to be here on a Friday, though, you might prefer to join the other guests for pizza day. Everybody is welcome to contribute to the success of this event, whether it’s by collecting wood, by helping to make the dough or by coming up with unusual topping combinations. Come the evening, the pizzas are baked in the wood-fired oven, and devoured in the barn. The site comes with a toilet block, showers and a launderette, plus tents for hire and charging points for electric cars. If you’re using public transport, the owners will also be happy to pick you up from the train station in Guéret (for a small fee).

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Lovely location and relaxed feel. Huge pitches and masses of space. Facilities generally very good . The zip wire over the lake was amazing… and free paddle boards too.

Disliked: Toilet block in top field not kept very clean .

From the manager: Dear Angela, We are very sorry for the inconviences regarding the upper toilet block! Unfortunately, our regular cleaning fairy was ill and her replacement was apparently not satisfactory. =( Cleanliness is very important to us so that this is really a no-go! Since Martin and me were also sick we couldn't control the work of the temporary cleaning person and none of the guests gave us a feedback. What a pity! :( Again, we are really sorry! Furthermore, we are grateful that you still appreciated the rest of your stay and hope to be able to welcome you again one day! <3 All the best for you, Martin and Jana

Local attractions

Birdwatchers make a beeline for the Réserve naturelle nationale de l’étang des Landes (25 minutes’ drive), where it’s possible to spot breeding herons, as well as seasonal guests like ospreys and other birds of prey, from the large, elevated hides. It’s not just wolves at Wolves of Chabrières (35 minutes), an animal park that also houses badgers, deer and boars. Several hides mean that you can spy on the lupine residents as they go about their business in vast enclosures that recreate their natural habitat. The splendid museums of the city of Limoges (75 minutes) are the answer to a rainy day. There’s a great range of subjects to explore: from ceramics at Musée National Adrien Dubouché, to history at Musée de la Résistance, though the kids will likely clamour to visit the aquarium, with its touch tanks.
