Comments: Great location next to a superb river with safe bathing for kids, fishing, snorkelling, canoeing. Pebble and sand beaches available if you want to BBQ on the bank or on the island.
Good sports facilities - canoe, tennis, table tennis and new multisports [tennis/baketball/footie/etc.] Good pool complex with some amazing banana plants. Golf just down the road [1km] but not cheap.
Easy access to Sarlat and other Dordogne towns.
Friendly management, pleasant restaurant. Bar is small but terrace under the walnut tree is a good place to enjoy a wine or two. [maybe more]
We wondered if going back for a 3rd year was a mistake but when we arrived the kids inflated the water toys and set off for the river whilst adults put their feet up and relaxed knowing 13 and 11 year old kids could play safely. 20 minutes later we had 2 amused kids and 2 relaxed adults - and so it remained for the rest of the week.
If you like to go and explore then you will find loads of history/culture in the area - Those with an interest in history will need several weeks to scratch the surface of all that is offered and those who have an interest in food will not be disappointed either.
We have been to places where more entertainment is prearranged and more happens of an evening but we have never found a site with a better location or where a more relaxing atmosphere is to be found. Suggest Le Moulinal at Biron has more arranged entertainment and an equally good atmosphere but its lake is no match for the Dordogne when it comes to a location.

Comments: 4 STARS Soleil plage is in a magnificent site, along the Dordogne river (canoeing, fishing, swimming on the beach) in front of an impressive cliff, among a green landscape full of trees and meadows.
Either you are in a camping pitch, a mobile-home or a chalet, you can meet in the centre called "the village" with its fountain, its beautiful flowers, restaurant from simple to "grande cuisine", take-away, bar, terrasses, minimart and a welcoming multilingual RECEPTION which was allowed this year, the price "l'etoile d'OR of the best camping du SUD OUEST". Plenty to do inside, sports-wise, aquatic park entertainment and outside in this CASTLE COUNTRY, middle-age towns and villages and markets, Neolithic caves, golf, balloon, accrobranche, bicycle, hiking. So easy to fly from many English cities with low cost Ryan air &FLYBE to Bergerac, where you could hire a car.
First time for me, but I have already booked fro 2006 because the high season is almost full.
No surprise that the region is invaded by BRITS...
We are of there this summer
