Yes! Been going since 1988!  Big pitches, shaded and otherwise.  SOme are enormous (ie take 3 vans and cars).  The loo block near the pool is the more modern and is clean.  The other block is clean but doesn't look as good as the other as it is in faily deep shade - there were signs last year that this was going to be extended.  There is a tennis court and about 6 tt tables and boules pitches.  The pool is warm and there is a toddler pool.  It is right alongside the river and is a very quiet site.  Thierry and his dad are very friendly folk.  You can order bread and croissants but they are not on general sale.  The reception has ice creams and a few bits and pieces and there are freezers in there.  We think the nicest pitches are the one numbered above 100 - these have been added most recently ( about 5 years ago) and are grassy and offer shade for the van/tent but sunshine to sit out.  You can walk to Beynac or Castelnaud for small shops cafes restaurants - nearest largish supermarket is at St Cyprien or Sarlat.  The site also plays host to "Air Chateau" which offers flights around the area in 2 seaters of in microlights, Hotair balloons also land/take off from the field from time to time. There are lots of French there End JUly and first 3 weeks August - most return year ayear like us.
