I feared this may be the case, which is unfortunate, as we had no regrets using this camp site, and indeed, would go back, if we return to the area, but I too had reservations about the suitability of Le capeyrou's pitch sizes for you and your requirements, and certainly the local cycling opportunities for the little 'uns.
I'd love to show you the size of our last French pitch, but as that was up in the Vendee, there's no point.
Oh go on then...
... about 15m x 15m, if my strides are anything to go by! And the cycling is a lot more family friendly, too!
Sorry! ... But at least you know they are out there!

Hi Everyone,
We're staying at Capeyrou for 2 weeks this August with the children (2 boys aged 7 and 11). I can't wait and after reading this thread I'm even more excited!
We're going with my sister and her family and they have allocated us pitch numbers A6 and A7, we both have caravans and like to have a grand confort pitch when away for a long time.
Does anyone know what these particular pitches are like in terms of sun, shade etc...? We're not early birds so like to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun on the pitch.
This is our first time down to the Dordogne, we're getting the tunnel in the morning and should be in Calais by 12pm, we want to do another 4 or so hours driving and then find a site to stop for the night before continuing down to Capeyrou in the morning. Any suggestions of a good overnight base would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance :-)
There's a pic earlier on in the thread showing pitch rows and numbers, and a Nord Sud Est Ouest symbol. If the pitch numbering is unchanged, A6 and A7 are just next to a little kiddies playground. The grand confort pitches are designed for caravans pitched lengthways, usually with doorways/awnings facing into the grassed rows.
So your doorway would be facing east, which trust me, you might well be very grateful for - whilst still being able to sit further out and catch the sun streaming along the rows, depending on shade at your particular position.
This pic (taken from the chateau) shows how wooded and shrubbed the site is, but I can't remember exactly what it's like in your specific section. We were on the ends of rows nearer the river and facing due south and the open ground where the row of cypress trees is. I do vividly remember trying to keep in shade and avoid being inside as long as possible 
For sun lovers, there are many spots to catch rays all day long, and the pool of course has the sun all day.
As to an o/n, what Val said. Can't help as we went Portsmouth>St Malo. The sailing was the o/n and we were on-site by vin rouge time.
Enjoy. Great base for exploring Sarlat, Castelnaud, Domme, bit further to Rocamadour (stunning) and even Bergerac and Bordeaux if you fancy a full day out, via St Emilion. And of course, Beynac itself. We had some superb meals here in the village:
