  • Family-run site on the banks of the Vézère river in Le Bugue
  • Lascaux caves and Sarlat-la-Canéda within a half-hour drive
  • Three pools and restaurant on site; free access to Parc du Bournat
A lovely green riverside location is a very good thing for a chilled-out holiday, but then so is a spot that’s close to attractions and amenities to make it easy to keep your whole tribe fed, watered and entertained for the duration. If only you could somehow combine the two, right? Well, here’s a place that ticks boxes on both fronts – Périgord Noir site Camping du Bournat is in an enviable spot on the banks of the Vézère river, so it’s a very green, calm and attractive site with plenty of open space and access to the river for fishing and swimming. Despite the pretty and peaceful atmosphere, this is no remote location – in fact, this site is on the edge of the village of Le Bugue, putting lots of shops, restaurants and other handy things within easy reach. Entertainment, too – one of the real highlights here is that you’ll get unlimited access to Parc du Bournat, the largest theme park in the Dordogne, which is an easy 10 minutes’ stroll away. Don’t fancy walking that far? Stay put then – there’s plenty to keep you amused on site, including three swimming pools (one of which is covered and heated for those cooler days), several pétanque courts, a basketball court, ping pong tables and a play area with a trampoline. Eats are equally well catered for here – you can either pick up ingredients at the shop and head to the barbecue area or have someone else do the cooking at the restaurant, which has a bar and takeaway service as well as hosting sociable themed evenings in high season.

Local attractions

The family that runs this site has been involved with tourism in the Dordogne for around 30 years, and they’ve employed a knowledgeable and friendly team to help all guests make the most of their stay in this wonderful area. Their recommendations are likely to start very locally, as Le Bugue has an excellent market, several hiking and bike trails and places to go canoeing. Close to the village is the Bara-Bahau cave (five minutes’ drive/half an hour’s walk), where you can see a decorated prehistoric cave. You’ll also be able to step back in time at the history-themed Parc du Bournat (10 minutes’ walk). Also close by are the Aquarium Périgord Noir (10 minutes’ walk), the adventure trails of Le Bois des Lutins (10 minutes’s drive) and the waterslides of Jacquou Parc (15 minutes). Further afield, the likes of Sarlat-la-Canéda, the Lascaux caves (both half an hour) or Périgueux (50 minutes) might also be on your list – not forgetting the Dordogne river (15 minutes), with all its châteaux and canoe trips.
