Camping Les Chalets sur la Dordogne
Along the Dordogne River, this campsite is embracing a fresh chapter under new ownership since 2023, with staff who greet guests warmly and speak English fluently. The pitches are generously sized and nestled among mature trees, offering plenty of natural shade. A swimming pool with a water slide adds a splash of fun, while the river’s small beach provides a safe spot for children to play. Ponies wandering the grounds bring extra charm for young visitors. The surrounding region is rich with tourist attractions, and the nearby town of Bretenoux is delightful to explore. However, the sanitary facilities are a persistent weak point, with worn fixtures, dirty walls, and a lack of toilet paper or soap. The bathrooms are often flooded, making them uncomfortable to use. There are no laundry amenities, and the owners require full payment upfront for your stay. Despite these drawbacks, the campsite’s natural beauty and family-friendly atmosphere make it a pleasant choice for a short getaway. The staff’s enthusiasm and efforts to improve are evident, though the facilities still lag behind. The river is too swift for swimming, but the pool compensates nicely. The pitches are private and shaded, ideal for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. Overall, it’s a promising destination with a charming setting, waiting for its amenities to catch up to its potential.
