from 540 reviews Write review

Camping Les Vernières is located on the banks of the Dordogne. You'll be camping on spacious, well-maintained touring pitches or in one of the exceptional rental properties, such as a yurt. With a an indoor, heated swimming pool, cuddly donkeys and a large playground, this is truly a family campsite. The surrounding area is a paradise for hiking. For example, climb the highest peak of the Massif Central.

Show more

Welcome!

When you swap the A71 for the A89 at Combronde, you are already driving towards the 'dômes', the dome-shaped mountains of the Massif Central. Take exit 25 at Saint-Julien-Puy-Lavèze in the direction of La Bourboule. When you have reached La Bourboule, you are in the middle of the domed mountains, in the valley of the Dordogne.

Adventurous rental accommodations

Les Vernières has 165 flat and spacious touring pitches, situated on well-maintained lawns, separated by hedges or shrubs. A small disadvantage: between the river and the campsite there is a road. The touring pitches along this road may have some trouble with noise. The campsite has 19 rental accommodations. In addition to chalets and bungalows, you can stay in an ecolodge or an ecological hut. Or choose a yurt for a very adventurous holiday.

Being active outdoors

A large playground, trampoline and bouncy castle guarantee hours of fun. Small campers can also have fun in the covered and heated swimming pool. And you are only twelve kilometres away from the highest peak of the Massif Central: the Puy de Sancy. Suitable for hikers of all levels. Walk along waterfalls and through flowering meadows.

Liked - This campsite is five star. Fabulous swimming pool and very clean facilities. The location is a five minute walk from two supermarkets and a ten minute walk from the town centre. We will definitely return to the beautiful part of France
Disliked - They have a donkey field and they can be very vocal. It didn’t spoil our stay but you need to be aware.

Travelling party: Couple

Staff where very friendly and helpfull. Pitches where large and well maintained. Toilet block immaculate. Very clean throughout. Swimming pool covered and heated, possibly in summer would be a bit crowded. Short walk into town or to the supermarket. Only stayed two nights but would of stayed a week. Will certainly go back. Bar and restaurant not open when we visited.
