  • Peaceful and friendly Dordogne valley site, 1.5km from the Dordogne
  • Three and a half kilometres from Domme and 14 from Sarlat
  • Pools, restaurant and organised cycle tours and canoe trips in summer
Pools, views and a setting close to the Dordogne river and the old old towns of Domme and Sarlat – what a smashing site this is. Friendly and peaceful Camping Le Pech de Caumont is in a highly scenic setting, with spectacular views over the Dordogne valley and with heaps to do in its handsome surroundings: the Dordogne river is a kilometre and a half away for swimming, fishing and lounging on several handily located beaches, and guided hikes, canoe trips and mountain bike tours leave from the site in summer. History and culture trips? Even the kids might be tempted… the 13th-century town of Domme is within a couple of kilometres and Périgord Noir capital Sarlat is within 20; two châteaux (Castelnaud and Beynac) are within 20 minutes' drive, and little adventurers should surely like a potter below ground at the Domme cave, three kilometres away. But there are pools to dip into too. Le Pech de Caumont has two, one for grownups and one for kids, both scenically set and with sun loungers alongside. A playground and trampoline are also to hand, as well as a games room, pétanque court and table tennis – if, indeed, you're ever on site and not river swimming, valley cycling or town and cave sightseeing… Evening activities including barbecues, treasure hunts and music nights run in summer, or you could just mosey along to the restaurant and terrace, for Périgord cuisine, fine French wine, and a natter with your fellow guests.

Liked: The peace and beautiful views of the stunning countryside. Friendly welcome and choice of any pitch we wanted. Great location meant we could cycle to nearby villages and the supermarket.

Disliked: The shower block is basically open to the elements on the two apex sides and it was 7 degrees some mornings with lukewarm water in the showers so was a bit of an ordeal. I know weather was unseasonably wet and cold so perhaps the water temperature could have been slightly higher? The lousy weather also meant that the pool, bar etc were shut too.

Power optional grass site

Liked: Very scenic views from many of the terraced pitches. Given a choice of 3 on arrival. Quite a big site with only 2 toilet/ shower blocks. Lovely pool but busy as it was August. The bar was in a lovely shaded area with a good variety of drinks including cocktails. A short run to Sarlat and Domme, both worth a visit. Plenty of places to hire canoes.

Disliked: Information about the site not given on arrival. Didnt know tables for bar snacks had to be previously booked so missed out on eating there.

Power optional grass site

Liked: Woodland setting in middle of Dordogne country .. Lots to do in the area.. Staff friendly and attentive. Nice little bar and great spot for swimming pool.

Disliked: We stayed in peak season and there were issues with cleanliness of the toilet blocks and also the tent pitch/ paths (dog poo) There are no rubbish bins on site - just the main ones by the entrance . The campsite itself is quiet but we struggled with the road noise. (The quieter areas have no electric) No shop on site - not even bread and milk.

Power optional grass site

Liked: Camping idéalement placé, sous un bosquet, ombre garantie, avec vue sur le village fortifié de Domme. Géographiquement à quelques kilomètres de beaucoup de lieux incontournables. Propriétaire à l'écoute, serviable. Piscine pour se rafraîchir.

Disliked: Manque d'éclairages dans les allées pour se rendre aux sanitaires un peu vieillot.

Power optional grass site

Liked: Pool Owners View Pitch size Pitch shade Diversity of Nederlands and French Nice Bar Live music once a week Location opposite Domme Price for facilities available

Disliked: Food and Drink prices (40 Euro initial round of ice creams and soft drinks for family of 4!) No bins, really, no bins! Had to retain all the recycling next to the tents, then drive it to a municipal bin! Smelled awful in the heat... No soap or handwash by the toilets, but that might be standard across France.

Local attractions

Caves, castles, canoeing and culture: this part of the Dordogne valley has the lot. After investigating the waters of the Dordogne, have a day trip to Domme (10 minutes' drive), in spectacular setting 250 metres above sea level overlooking the Dordogne river. The town is a bastide, with lengthy and colourful history: the Knight Templars were banged up here in 1307 and England wrangled France – several times – for Domme possession during the Hundred Years War. If the kids' eyes have now glazed over, take them to Domme's Knight Templars prison to see the knightly graffiti etched into the stone, and then on to Sarlat (20 minutes), for splendid views of this splendid town from the glass elevator in the bell tower. As well as the cave of Domme (10 minutes), subterranean explorers should also get along to the prehistoric caves in Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil, 35 minutes away.
