![]() Also the nature sites are a fair distance from any of the sanitary blocks. Never fully dried out entire time we were there thus mud on footwear was a constant problem. We choose a 'nature site' that is without electric hook up as we were staying in a small tent Our emplacement was under heavy tree cover and ground was soft to muddy after recent rain. But it isn't and although the location makes up for many short comings, this is not somewhere that I would rush back to. With sufficient, decent toilet / shower facilities and some gentle enforcement of the silent hours rule that applies across most camp sites especially in France, this could be really good. Although they might want to sit up to 3 am singing and chatting, personally, I'd refer to sleep! The shower stalls share common drainage, so you may get water from the next cubical flowing over your feet and their is neither sound nor small insulation from the toilets (need I say more?)Īlthough most of the visitors stay fro several days, there is a small minority who stop overnight while canoeing the river in groups. Most of the toilets are the sort without seats and some are of the dreaded Roman "hole in the ground" variety. If you have your own facilities (ie a caravan or motorhome), you'll be OK, but in a tent, you will find that there just aren't enough facilities and they are a long way apart. All the staff without exception were friendly and helpful. Ours was a good size with a few trees and bushes to separate from the neighbours. Our pitch was just back from the river - allegedly, the riverside pitches are a little smaller and more expensive. The scenery is stunning and there is plenty to keep you occupied locally. And not having to queue up for basic bodily functions and then sharing them with complete strangers.Īs far as location, you couldn't find anywhere better - on an island in the River Dordogne on the edge of the village, whihc is medieval and well preserved with a choice of restaurants, a market and a thriving community. We'll start with a disclaimer that I don't really like camping and am a bit picky on certain items. All in all possibly the best French campsite we have stayed at and the canoeing which you can book on site is also a must! My one piece of advice would be bring inflatables for the river with you as these priced tricky to find and if you have an awning or some way of making extra shade for your pitch bring that with you too as some of the pitches are very sunny and some extra shade is needed. A real highlight! There are 3 supermarkets within driving distance of the site and a small one in the town. We then sat at huge communal tables along the banks of the river to eat and listen to music late in to the night surrounded by locals. We went to the Monday evening market which was great fun and took full advantage of buying our meats (and local wine!!) at the market which was then cooked on big communal BBQ’s by locals for a small charge of 50 cents per person. There is a lovely bakery opposite the old church which is a short stroll from the campsite. The location next to the beautiful village of Beaulieu-Sur-Dordogne was a real treat as we’ve never had this from a camping trip before and were able benefit from being able to walk the short distance to the town for fresh bakery products, lunch, drinks and dinner. The toilet/wash facilities were clean and looked like they had been updated for this season. 1 dog.What a wonderful site! We had a riverside comfort pitch and it was fantastic with access to the river. No charcoal barbecues (communal area available). Bar, restaurant and takeaway service (weekends only outside July/Aug). Toilet for children and excellent accessible facilities. Three bright and clean toilet blocks, one of which is in the centre of the tent pitches. Trees provide shade to many of the pitches from the sun which can be quite hot at this altitude.įacilities on site are limited to very good toilet blocks and a very large games room and assembly hall, which is used by those in tents when it rains. ![]() The terraced pitches are easily accessed, with those dedicated to caravans and motorhomes at the top of the site, whilst tents go on the lower slopes. An ideal base for climbing, hiking and cycling, it would also provide a good stopover for a night or so whilst travelling between Spain and France, or to and from Andorra. This part of the Pyrenees offers some staggering views and the famous Mont Louis is close by. This is a large, open site of some seven hectares, with 123 touring pitches (72 with 10A electricity), nestling on the side of the mountain at the entrance to Huttopia Font-Romeu.
