  • On the banks of the Lot with a sandy beach area
  • Pool, tennis court, pétanque court and playground
  • Hire canoes to visit local villages and vineyards
The lovely lovely Lot river, meandering for a whopping 481 kilometres through valleys and gorges, past castles, medieval towns and limestone cliffs… if you can picture yourself canoeing placidly on its waters, having launched your vessel from a sandy riverside beach steps from your pitch, then you'll find Camping Les Vignes a rather fab French pick. This family-friendly site is right on the banks of the Lot, with its own sandy beach where guests can bask, swim from or launch those canoes to drift off down the river (organised canoe excursions run in the summer if you'd rather not be solitary). More scenic days await away from these lush grounds too: take one of the summer bike tours, or pedal off at your own pace through the Lot valley and Cahors wine region on the peaceful Véloroute trail. Camping Les Vignes is a green and friendly site, three kilometres from Puy-l'Évêque. Its peaceful setting comes with big shaded grass pitches and a heated outdoor pool for all ages, as well as sporty options for most sizes including ping pong tables and courts for tennis and pétanque. There's a playground too to keep the kids busy, and a common room with games, library and TV for afternoons indoors. Summer sees entertainment on site such as live music evenings, wine tasting sessions and dance nights, held at the restaurant open in July and August. Guests can buy groceries at the mini market, have a continental brekkie at the bar, or settle down on the terrace of the snack bar for meals under a sunny sky.

What customers say

Friendly welcome, clean facilities, and river access with sunbeds a hit. Food and bar service also well-received. Downsides included dog mess, noise from kids/karaoke, unavailable canoe hire, and a sparse shop. Remote location noted. Manager recommends low season for quiet.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked The best part of this site is when you leave.

Disliked The dog faeces on our pitch that greeted us. The constant noise and shouting from the teenagers. This is a site clearly made for the 18-30’s crowd. And not peaceful of relaxing. And 6days after I emailed both the site and Pitchup still no reply from either which completely sums up this site. The site resembled Glastonbury the day after it finishes. What a disgusting place.

I would not recommend this site to anyone even my ex wife.

From the manager: Hello Mr Spring,
We are sorry to read that you had a bad stay.
However, it is difficult to form an opinion based on a stay of only one night.
Why didn't you come and talk to us about the dog excrement? We could have taken action and/or offered you another pitch.
Regarding the children, we have to remind you that our campsite is a family campsite and that during the summer season, it is normal to see and hear children.
We did not receive any email from you. Perhaps it would have been better to come and talk to us and share your opinion!
Come back in the low season, where you will find the peace and relaxation you were looking for!

From the manager: We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay in our campsite.
Indeed, we pay attention to the cleanliness of the sanitary facilities.
The bar-snack is also a place we want to be welcoming with good food at affordable prices.
The river with beach is the spot to have nice relaxing moment.

Tracy M.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked River access, although would be better without the fake grass. Sanitary facilities were clean with toilet paper and soap.
Hard working staff.

Disliked We chose the site based on pitch up comments that canoes were available to hire at the site. On arrival we were told that was not the case this year.
The shop was actually a very poorly stocked area in reception, a few cans and some charcoal.
A little too far from the nearest town for our needs.

Local attractions

Hire a canoe to take off for a day's exploring on the waters of the Lot or along its banks on the scenic Véloroute around local vineyards and villages. Fishing is available from the site. Les Vignes is a few kilometres from Puy-l'Évêque, in the centre of the Cahors AOC wine region (and well represented in the French wine trade). You can take a bus from Puy-l'Évêque through spectacular scenery along the Lot river and all the way to Cahors, to see its gardens and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pont Valentre. If it's châteaux you're after, drive for 25 minutes to reach Château de Bonaguil, the last of the fortified medieval castles built in France. Or travel half an hour north to Villefranche-du-Perigord, a bastide town towards the south of the Dordogne department: Château de Biron and Château de Gavaudun are both a little west of here.
