... or you could try Camping La Cabane...... family owned and run. Direct access to the river, small pool. Midway between Beynac and Castelnaud ( both walkable) for bars restaurants and the chateaux. Currently about half full but will start to fill up this weekend. Mainly French clientele with a few Dutch and the odd English (us) plus one other at the moment. temperatures have been above 40c for the 9 days but rain is forecast today and tomorrow with a drop to low 20s, returned to 30ish next week.

Currently tipping it down - first real rain for 6 weeks - hosepipe ban might get cancelled.

More rain forecast tomorrow, then, with the exception of a possible light shower Tuesday, hot and sunny for the foreseeable - fortunately without the recent excessive temperatures.

I don’t know if you have found anywhere yet but if you can’t find anywhere in The Dordogne how about Camping Le Teday at Le Moutchic near Lacanau Ocean. This is my joint first campsite and it’s 34 euros a night pitch + 2 + electric.
It’s lakeside, gently shelving warm lake suitable for children good beach nearby in Le Moutchic with restaurants. On site good shop and takeaway food. Creperie and bar.
7km from Lacanau ocean which has everything.
It’s 30kms west of Bordeaux and is a great area for cycling.
Will be there for the 2nd time this year on Sept 1st.



All full :-(

Juat a quick thanks to everyone that has taken the time to help me and offer advice/recommendations.

We are lazily getting ready tomorrow and sunday as our shuttle crossing is stupid o clock Sunday night/Monday morning. Doing our best to not get stressed or forgot anything (I have a bad habit of this!) Now the fun begins packing a bungalows worth of stuff into our Jag!

I have a feeling we will all come away wanting to purchase a holiday home but for now, the Vango will just have to do!

Good luck!

Plans b & c could be;

Le Convivial - a couple of miles further south than Pech de Caumont on the D46.

https://www.campingleconvivial.com/

Then a mile past that on far the edge of the village St Martial de Nabirat - Le Carbonnier

https://www.lecarbonnier.fr/en/home/

Passed both the other day and both appeared to have ample vacancies (pre Dutch invasion). Both extremely handy for shopping in Cenac / Gourdon - St M de N has a bakers and a bar / cafe doing meals more or less opposite Le C on the main road.

The area is very popular with caravanners from the Netherlands. They come throughout the season but first two weeks in August appear to be the most popular for them - certainly families.

I'm pretty sure you'll find a pitch at one of the sites without any trouble. Sites seem a little emptier than usual for late July - maybe extreme high temperatures (now over) deterred people or they headed for somewhere cooler eg Brittany.

ps did you have a look at La Bouysse, the site I mentioned in my first post on this thread?

Another site all full for our dates. We are heading for Le Pech de Caumont site, hopefully they will have some spaces left (please god!)
