Camping In Brantome & The Perigord Vert

Camping In Brantome and the Perigord Vert puts you within easy reach of some of the most beautiful villages and small towns in the whole of France. This includes Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, Saint-Jean-de-Cole and Limeuil, all listed as a holder of the “most beautiful villages in France” award, Bourdeilles and it’s magnificent chateau and of course, Brantome itself, often described with only slight exaggeration as the “Venice of the Dordogne”. It is a very pretty town with a mix of medieval and renaissance architecture to admire in a lovely riverside setting on the Dronne, a tributary of the River Isle.

Here is a list of some potential good options for Camping In Brantome and the surrounding parts of the Perigord Vert.

1) Camping Brantome Peyrelevade

Camping Brantome Peyrelevade is about a 20 minute walk from the bars and restaurants along the Dronne In the centre of Brantome. The campsite itself is in wooded parkland in an attractive setting backing on to the Dronne itself, adding to it’s charm. There is a heated swimming pool next to the bar and restaurant area. The Wifi is said to be available throughout the campsite. The pitches were reasonably spread out, many of them having shade.

As well as pitches for your own tent, caravan, camper or motorhome, there are also a small number of pre-erected tents that can be rented as well as mobile homes. There are two toilet blocks for campers. Reserving in advance is recommended in high season. More details can be obtained direct from the campsite via http://camping-dordogne.net/en/the-site

2) Camping Le Pontet

Le Pontet is Eurocamp’s new camping destination in the Perigord Vert. It is situated near to Saint Astier and Perigueux. It is a small campsite with 150 pitches and a choice of two and three bedroom static caravans, most of which also have decking to help your outdoor dining. There is both an adult pool and a paddling pool for toddlers. There is a bar and opportunities to hire cycles and canoes. The pretty town of Saint Astier is within easy walking distance. Perigueux is the historic capital of this area and contains many architectural treasures including the 16th century Cathedral of Saint Front and the graceful Renaissance buildings of Rue Limogeanne.

3) Chateau Le Verdoyer

Having had the pleasure of camping at Chateau Le Verdoyer on a family holiday some years ago, this camping park ranks amongst the very best I have stayed at. It has many facilities and is well run by it’s Dutch owners who are multi-lingual. A new heated, indoor swimming pool has recently been added to those facilities. There are pitches for tents, trailer tents, caravans and motor homes in a large field with well defined pitches. There are also pre-erected tents, mobile homes and caravans which can be hired on site and even five different rooms in the chateau itself.

The chateau is the location for the campsite’s restaurant if you fancy a change from making your own barbeques.

4) Belair Le Camping

Belair le Camping is a new Glamping site, close to Brantôme in France, offering Belle Tent accommodation set in 4 acres of beautiful French countryside next to the village of Maucité. As befits glamping, the aim is to provide cosy luxurious accommodation, excellent communal facilities and some little extras. Each tent has electricity and lighting, luxury double beds, chest of drawers and seating areas to unwind and relax.

Belair le Camping can be booked through Booking.com (watch out for their special offers on Fridays).

There are other options for Camping In Brantome and the Perigord Vert such as Camping Puynadal which is further out from Brantome than Camping Peyrelevarde, featured above, and a bit smaller and cheaper.
