  • Eco-friendly Dordogne site five minutes' drive from Vendoire
  • Brantôme, Angoulême and Grotte de Villars within 45 minutes' drive
  • Swimming pools, toy library, restaurant and summer activities
Pretty, peaceful, packed with things for the kids to do… and eco-friendly too. Dordogne site Camping des Tourbières, in a rural location 600 metres from Site Naturel des Tourbières, a Natura 2000 site which has 65 hectares of protected space for walks and fishing. Five minutes’ drive away from Vendoire too, it really has a lot going for it. Come along here and you'll be staying in a spacious park full of greenery and trees, where the owners are doing their best to make sure that their site has only a minimal impact on the environment. That includes providing facilities for recycling and composting, using returnable glassware in the bar and feeding restaurant waste to the goats and chickens (who seem pretty happy with this solution…) Alongside these facilities are all sorts of things designed to make family holidays go with a swing: the outdoor pool and paddling pool are particularly popular features, but guests also have access to a multisports ground, a large playground, a pétanque court, and lots of other games including table football and table tennis. And that’s not all… a library and toy library mean hours of entertainment without the need to bring lots of kit, and in high season you’ll be able to join in with various activities including treasure hunts, yoga classes and horse-drawn carriage rides. Meals are easily sorted here, too – start your day right by ordering bread and pastries to be delivered, then for lunch you can pick up supplies from the food shop or order picnic sandwiches to take on your outings. Evenings can be spent cooking over your barbecue or settling in at the restaurant. There’s also a barbecue night on Wednesdays, a pizza night on Fridays and a street food truck on Saturdays.

Liked: Very large pitch, lovely surroundings with great bar with snacks on site. Bread and pastries were excellent quality. Didn’t use pool etc as was just a stop over on the way back from Spain to Dieppe, but looked nice.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Everything! The staff were so friendly, one lady in particular made such an effort with our young children. She made sure they were aware of the activities like going down to feed the goats in the morning. We were only here for 2 nights (Fri and sat) but both evenings there were lovely evening food options. Pizza night on the Fri and a Creole food van on the sat. There was also an English choir on the sat which was a surprise because we didnt see any English for a long time around this area. It was a lovely evening. The bar sold lovely wine and ice cream for the kids which kept them happy. There was also a toy library which we made very good use of. The kids loved choosing a few games each evening to play with. The pool was perfect for our kids and had parasols and sun loungers to use. It was really clean and tidy too. The shower/toilet facilities were the nicest we've ever had at any campsite. Really clean and well looked after. You can really see the care and pride taken by the staff to keep this campsite in great condition. There were also petanque courts, table tennis and this hand & foot ball game, that we'd never seen before, which the kids loved playing. A small play area for the kids too with slide and swings. Great recycling facilities - we were given a compost and recycling containers on arrival to use which was great. There was also a selection of essential items to buy in reception like jam, honey, toothbrushes. We bought this incredible cremed honey - it was exquisite. Oh and I must mention the boulangerie service each morning which was awesome. You can order bread/pastries each day for collection the next morning and it was amazing! We visited in late July, and the corn field opposite had been transformed into a maze. The kids loved exploring this - hunting for the clues to find the pass code. Overall, one of the best campsites we've ever been to! When we left on day 3, we drove the wrong way out of the campsite and found a river with some lovely walks at the end of the road. Would definitely explore this if we came back. We didn't use the WiFi so can't comment on that

Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: Amazing pitch , surrounded by nature. Excellent facilities, beautifully kept by the hard working young family. A lovely restaurant serving every lunch time and evenings ( except Tuesdays!) This is a fantastic site to visit the Charente/ Dordogne and accessible and welcoming to all who love to be immersed into the heart of this beautiful countryside.
