Campsite Domaine de la Paille Basse, a country estate campsite in the Castels chain is situated on a forested ridge near Souillac (Lot). The first thing you notice is the beautiful view and the harmony with which the campsite has been integrated into the surrounding nature. The property is very green and well maintained with a number of colourful flower pots. The restored medieval farms now house the reception and a charming restaurant.

Camping or glamping?

Here camping varies from basic to luxurious. The spacious campsites are pretty, primarily flat and well organized. The sanitation is modern. There is a choice of a standard site with or without electricity, a comfort site with a water connection and a premium site with its own refrigerator, picnic table, gas barbecue and two loungers. If you don't have your own equipment, you can rent a Coco Sweet tent or choose the spacious and charming glamping tent.

Water fun and amusement

The campsite has three swimming pools, a large and deep outdoor pool, a heated shallow pool and a heated kiddie pool. There are also four water slides next to each other and a water play area for the little ones. There are play areas, tennis courts, a grass football pitch and jeu-de-boules pitch. The older youth can strut the latest dance moves in the teenager disco (July and August).

To do and see

La Paille Basse is very child-friendly, so in the summer months many families have fun with the children. Other guests are active campers who like to hike in the surrounding area and culture lovers who really love the picturesque villages, castles and churches in the area.

Liked - Campsite is in a quiet wooded area north of Souillac. It has a number of very good facilities including eating areas, swimming pool, and night time entertainment. Everything about this campsite was good.
Disliked - Only thing I will criticise is the restaurant was closed on Monday evening, which was when we hoped to use it! I didn’t expect it to be closed during high season! The cafe was open and their excellent pizza sort of made up for my disappointment.

Liked - Staff are very welcoming, the children loved there stay as much as we did, the food is great, entertainment was very good, the pool and wash areas and campsite in general was very well kept and cleaned daily. Beautiful location, and surrounding areas. We cannot pick no faults with the campsite as a whole, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back again in the near future, thank you for having us!

Liked - Our kids love the pools, water slides and the playground. We have been before and they begged us to come back. We all loved the great food from the snack bar, the variety of evening entertainment and the friendly, helpful staff.
Disliked - The lightbulbs in our chalet weren’t LED and so got very hot.

Liked - Use to come here with our kids, it was perfect for them.. We escaped UK as soon as Covid rules relaxed and came back after 13 years as a couple absolutely still loved it.. Restaurant has upped their game, food well prepared and presented. Also there is a now a separate snack bar. Great for families. Our kids really envious so we're all planning to come back next year!

Travelling party: Young couple

Liked - La Paille Basse excels at relaxation! From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, everything is designed to make your stay a pleasant & happy one.
Yes this time we’re staying ‘out of season’ and it’s blissfully quiet but we have also stayed in the height of the season and still found the site to be extremely well organised with generous level pitches and an excellent range of clean facilities.
Staff are very helpful and can speak several languages which helps but if like me you’re here to improve your French they’ll help you do that too. I can not recommend this site enough to you.

Disliked - There is nothing I dislike about this site
