We have used the municipal in Uzerche - on the river bank a short stroll into the small town for shops,bars, swimming pool, etc. Even in August we didn't need to book.

Other people enthuse about Moulin de Geneste (lot of reviews here) just a few miles from Uzerche. It gets glowing reports but might be a bit isolated for what you want.

Is that the area you want?  You really can just take the camper van there and decide when you arrive.

Hello again Kittiwake. I tried to answer your question in a helpful way - but really it was the wrong question

Instead of hunting desperately for a camp site, you should really be asking yourself what are the interesting places we want to see on the way to Oleron. What are the things we want to do, what do we want to show to the children, which places would we like to visit - and then you have the chance to spend one two days here and two three somewhere else. Choose what you want to see and do, then there will always be a camp site nearby. You have the best part of a week, a smallish vehicle, and can avoid the big roads if you are concerned about traffic.

I went to Moulin De Geneste last year..fabulous site, really back to nature in the nicest way. the coupdl who own it are from Yorkshire, both very artistic, Steve is a carpenter. On reflexion we should have stayed longer  BUT it was heading for 40 degrees and we needed a cool coastal breeze to make me sane again. After Uzerche we went across to the coast to stay at Le Tedey, Lacanau which we do everey 3 - 5 years because it is such a lovely peaceful holiday..lots of cycling and moules!!!!!.

This year we are doing Limousin & the Dordogne...I couldn't go to the coast again, I crave rolling hills and greenery this year, plus th efcat that I have a rendevous at a an ex pat's  Alpaca Farm in Toulx Ste Croix (can't wait, she has lots of baby ones).
