Electric grass pitch

Liked: Good location for exploring area. All clean and tidy.

Disliked: Additional shower block closed. Thankfully not many campers so one block worked. Certainly not the most throughout shower and washing facilities. Long leads needed for power, depending on pitch.

From the manager: Bonjour, effectivement les sanitaires qui se trouvent dans le milieu du camping sont fermés à cette période car il y a peu de monde. Mon mari vous a proposer de choisir votre emplacement tout en vous précisant qu'il été préférable de vous mettre à l'avant du camping, proche des sanitaires et de la piscine. C'est vous qui avez préféré vous mettre dans le fond du camping, proche de la rivière. Effectivement, certaines bornes sont plus éloignées que d'autres, mais encore une fois, vous aviez la possibilité de choisir une place plus proche d'une borne. J'espère malgré tout que votre séjour en Dordogne vous a plu et que l'on aura le plaisir de vous revoir au Camping La Cigaline.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Large pitches, well maintained, great swimming pool and in a lovely location right by the river.

Disliked: The town itself is a little ‘down at heal’, probably due to the supermarkets at the edge ( these of course were great!)

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The campsite is in a lovely location next to the Dordogne river, there are some lovely walks just outside the campsite. You can walk into the local town it has a few shops and a nice patisserie. About a 10 minute drive away you have the bigger supermarkets. We drove into Bordeaux via the tolls it only cost 5 euros and the drive is about an hour well worth the visit. They have a well sized pool which is well looked after, lots of things around to keep the children entertained. The toilet and washing block is kept clean and tidy. They do have a bar and restaurant we went a few times just for drinks and ice cream.

Disliked: Check before you go if they have a public holiday or a religious one, we arrived on a day where the shops were closed and the campsite was hosting a function. We were unable to get tickets and due to the function they closed the restaurant and bar, luckily we had some super noodles as our emergency back up meal otherwise we would of gone hungry. Due to the event the the lady in the office was stressed and at times rude and annoyed by our mere presence. I think if there is going to be a public/religious holiday like above they need to inform people arrival on those days.

Local attractions

The Isle river runs for 255 kilometres through south-western France, including the Périgueux region where Camping La Cigaline is set. As with long stretches of the rest of the river, the banks around here are prime fishing territory; if you're plotting to cast off while here, you can pick up a permit at the tobacconists 200 metres from the site. Swimming is allowed in the river and in the Grand Étang de la Jemaye, the six connected big ponds making up an artificial lake about 20 minutes from La Cigaline; it's a popular local place for watersports. Other active options nearby are at Chandos Leisure Centre, a short drive from the site, where you can hire a pedal boat or a kayak, laze on the beach or have a swim. A games room, fitness trail, picnic area and miniature golf are in its surrounding park. From Cigaline's local town of Montpon-Menesterol, it's about 20 kilometres to Eynesse and around 30 to both the peaceful town of Riberac and the half-timbered houses and old centre of Bergerac. You could also potter around the châteaux of the area, or visit its fortified villages, such as Villefranche-de-Lonchat, Benevent and Saint-Barthelemy-de-Bellegarde.
