Hi cheryl.mark, thanks for taking the time whilst on your hols to give that information.

Hi Minnie1

As Val says the private facilities were little pods at the back of the pitch with shower, toilet and handbasin in.  Just outside the pod there was your own wash up area with a fridge underneath.  There was also a picnic table on the pitch.

We were in a tent and there was no shade in the afternoon on the pitch we were on but we just walked down to the lake to find some shade if we were at the site in the afternoon.

It certainly saved some space in the car because we normally take a fridge and we didn't need to a table with us.

retruned from 2 weeeks at this site last night.very hot with the odd cloudy day to get us off site to visit castles ,caves,resturants etc

Site has just been awarded 4 stars they (the family )were very proud and we had a evening partry.

some of the pitches have steep acesse but they used a tractor to take carvans to to top of the site(we are tenters so know little about towing.The shop sells very limited items but shops are close buy by car.the restturant/takeawy takes orders untill 9pm

little shade on the private pitches but used lake or back terrace backing on to woods.

Many return bookings we have made oursfor  next years.The private pitches are nearly all reserved for 2013.we have used standard pitches and they are good too more shade.

Thanks ice-pop, that's all good to hear.

We've got a standard pitch for this year - sounds like we will need to book for next year as soon as we get there if we want a private pitch!

We are all so excited now, just got to get through the long drive there...

I tried booking through eurocamp independant (soleil plage)today for a pitch from the 19th to 26th august, but nothing available. Really dissapointed! I know that I've left it too late, but was hoping that at the end of august we could have got a pitch there. Oh well, will continue searching for that illusive week in the sun!

Have you tried directly with the site?  Sometimes the 'tour operators' have a specific allocation of pitches, and once those reserved pitches are full, then they say 'No availability' but by trying directly with the site you may just be lucky.  Otherwise try next door at La Bouysse which is similarly situated on the river. 

Although not on the Dordogne, a lovely riverside site, is Les Peupliers at Riviere sur Tarn in the Gorges du Tarn area - which does have emplacements free when you want to go - direct with the site, though, not through Eurocamp Independent.
