What characterises the campsites in Dordogne?

Among the 12 campsites in Dordogne, 11 have a swimming pool, 9 are family-friendly and 10 welcome dogs. The average review score of the rated campsites is 9.4/10.

The best choice depends on who you travel with. Families with children do well at a site with a pool, entertainment and a safe play area; those seeking quiet should pick a smaller site or a spot away from the crowds. With a dog, it pays to check the pet policy first.

Which amenities should you check?

Amenities largely determine how much you enjoy your holiday. On each campsite's detail page in Dordogne, check for a swimming pool, sanitary facilities and hot showers, Wi-Fi, a restaurant or snack bar and a shop or bread service. For families, a paddling pool, playground and entertainment are often decisive.

Also note the pitch type. A comfort pitch with private sanitary facilities and a water connection costs more but adds convenience; a simple nature pitch is cheaper and quieter. Travelling by motorhome, check for a service point and sufficient electricity (amperage).

Peak season or quiet in Dordogne?

Most campsites in Dordogne are open from spring through autumn. Peak season is July and August: that's when it's busiest, warmest and most expensive. Book well in advance for that period, especially at the most popular campsites.

For more quiet and softer prices, the shoulder season (May, June, September) is attractive: pleasant weather, fine scenery and plenty of pitch choice.

What does camping in Dordogne cost?

Prices vary widely by campsite, pitch type and season. Among the campsites in Dordogne on this list, a pitch starts from around €23 per night in low season; rates are higher in summer.

Booking with Ovisola runs directly through the campsite and our partner, with live price and availability. Watch the extras: tourist tax, electricity and pets sometimes fall outside the base rate.
