In the heart of the French Dordogne, Camping La Chatonnière is set in a beautiful location right by the water. There is a private sandy beach and you can swim in the river. You can enjoy a delicious meal in the pizzeria. The castle village of Jumilhac-le-Grand is just one and a half kilometres from the campsite.

Spacious, quiet pitches

You can feel the space as soon as you drive up to your pitch. Because of the difference in height, the site consists of two parts. Here you will find beautiful spots for your tent, caravan or motor home. On the lower part, the pitches are close to the river. All the pitches offer privacy and are landscaped with bushes and trees. You can also spend the night in a robust safari tent or a nicely furbished mobile home among the greenery.

Swimming and playing in the river

Looking for some refreshment on hot days? Go paddle in the river, which is near the campsite. The water is fairly shallow and both the water and the beach on the bank are great places for children to splash around and play. The sunbathing area has shade and a shower. This is also where the canoes are moored after a trip on the river.

Plenty of entertainment for children

Doing crafts, feeding the pigs, archery or performing at the fun evening? Camping La Chatonnière organises it all for young campers in the high season. Want to go hiking? Various trails leave from the site. Prefer to go cycling? Then hire a bicycle on the campsite, but bear in mind that the surroundings are hilly.

Travelling party: Single

Liked - Good sized pitches but wish I’d thought more about the thick canopy of trees which the sun or even sky couldn’t penetrate. My fault though. Loved the issuing of compost box and recycling tub on arrival.
Disliked - The ‘river beach’ was deep mud in places. My dog got filthy. Photos look better than reality.

Travelling party: Young couple

Liked - The site was quiet and we could sit watching the river from our pitch. The pitches are marked with hedges. The facilities are clean. We were able to get walking and cycling maps which made our stay perfect and had pizza one night too. Thank you.
Disliked - Some showers were warmer than others. The showers in the largest top block were quite cool and there wasn't much light here. We soon got to know the showers that were best!
