  • Family-friendly woodland site close to Bretenoux, Lot
  • A 20-minute drive from Padirac and 35 minutes from Rocamadour
  • Outdoor pool, sun deck, bar-restaurant, pétanque and bike hire
If 3.5 hectares of shaded woodland on the banks of the river Cère sounds like your kind of spot, hot-foot it down to Lot site Camping La Bourgnatelle. This family-friendly site has oodles of leisure facilities for young and old – including a 200m² pool and 100m² splash zone – and is within easy walking distance of the village of Bretenoux. Many a chilled hour can be spent in the fab outdoor pool, where there are plenty of sun loungers on hand for post-dip snoozes. The sun deck also makes a comfy spot to keep a close eye on minnows cavorting in the splash zone (in summer, you can also drop them off at the kids' club for site-organised activities). Other active options include a pétanque court and ping pong tables – make sure to get some practice in here if you fancy competing in any of Camping La Bourgnatelle’s high-season tournaments.  Camping La Bourgnatelle also hires out bikes for folk that like exploring their surrounds on two wheels (peaceful pedals along the Cère at sunset are an especially soothing way to wind down at the end of the day). Dinnerwise, you're welcome to cook your own over a barbecue or check out the on-site bar-restaurant; there are also several joints across the bridge in Bretenoux.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Friendly owners. Good position by river on edge of town. Good shops in walking distance. Plenty of hot water in showers. ‘Sanitaires’ were clean. Plenty of shade.

Disliked: Pitch given was a bit narrow for van with awning. No seats on toilets No security - the barrier could be opened and closed manually at any hour. Not the campsite’s fault- town lacked any decent places to eat. Well reviewed restaurants on line were closed.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Tentenplaatst was ruim en goed. Lekker dichtbij heel mooie stad. Algemeen vriendelijk.

Disliked: Zonder stroom adapter kan je niets. Ook geen adapter verkrijgbaar om te lenen. Ik was bij meerdere campings binnen Frankrijk en deze was echt matig qua sanitair. Ook bij receptie spreken ze alleen Frans. Bij binnen restaurant moet je wel een reservering hebben om te kunnen eten. Ik ken betere plekken. Gelukkig was ik daar alleen voor 1 nacht.

Liked: Welcoming with spacious shady pitch. Quiet, quaint, rural site. Basic facilities but more than adequate for our stopover night.

Local attractions

There's heaps to get up to in Lot. Fancy playing at being pilgrims for the day? Head to Rocamadour and the Sanctuary of the Black Madonna (35 minutes' drive). Curious about chasms and caves? Wend your way along the underground river at Padirac (20 minutes) or hitch a ride on the miniature train at Lacave to snap some stalactite pics (40 minutes).  Outdoorsy jaunts are also highly recommended here – this part of France is a pretty place, so don't leave it unexplored. The Gimel waterfalls (about an hour) are home to three impressive falls and loads of clearly marked trails, while those with an adventurous streak can swing through the trees at a nearby high ropes centre (40 minutes). Closer to home, you can also pick up a canoe or kayak in Bretenoux for paddles on the peaceful river Cère.  In need of a kid-pleasing itinerary? Camping La Bourgnatelle ticks that box, too – Gramat animal park (20 minutes), a waterpark with tons of slides (30 minutes) and the family-friendly Château de Castelnau-Bretenoux (five minutes) are all close by.
