Dordogne

[Alex_374296729]

Would be grateful for recommendations in the Dordogne area, sites, locations etc. Going in September possibly, no kids (flown the nest)

Thank you.

Our favourites are :-

Domaine de la Barbanne (amidst the vineyards of St Emillion and a short distance from Bordeaux) or Le Moulin du Roch situated on the main A47 headed towards Sarlat from Perigueux. This is a nice quietish Castels site with not much of a play area or large pool complex so it does not draw too many children. We do have children but perhaps we are at an older age and quieter sites suit us.

Le Port de Limieul at the confluence of the rivers Vezzere and Dordogne and midway between Sarlat and Bergerac

Have a look at the Camping Cheque website www.campingcheque.co.uk - great value, as a night for two people, caravan, car, awning, and electricity costs just

Hi Evans Of Sprot. Really strange seeing your pictures of the restaurant. Pre caravanning we have rented the house next to it (La Cachette) in the past.

We are planning Dordogne in June as well. Thinking of Ratebout but not sure as its under new management. We are also considering Port De Limeul too. Your pitch looked really good. What time of the year were you there, it looks fairly empty? Are all the pitches fully serviced and with hedges between?

It mentions a food carry out. What's it like? Does it have a bar. Also is the pool heated?

Sorry for so many questions

Regards

Evans,Last time I went i was on pitch 56 across from the toilet block with a good mix of sun and shadewe were there the same weeks in 2005.

On the carryoncamping forum there are some picks under 'picture your outfit'

"It mentions a food carry out. What's it like? Does it have a bar. Also is the pool heated?"

Sorry to be terse.

Food - didn't try it

Bar - yes

Didn't swim

All the pitches around me were serviced.

There in late June.

Sorry Plotter but I tried to join the 'carryoncamping' group, but to this bear of little brain it soon became too difficult to do.

I lost the will to live!

Can you put them on Webshots so that I can get at them!

 

[ThePlotter]

Evans sorry dont know how to that same problem as you me thinks but why not try again what was the problem it is straight forward,it must be for me to do it.If you have a problem put a post on here for Legsmaniac he will sort it for you.
