The Dordogne has 31 campsites offering unique accommodation, one of the network's most extensive and best-rated selections. The average rating reaches 4.6/5, with weekly prices ranging from €300 to €770, between treehouse, bivouac, coco-sweet, gypsy caravan and vintage caravan.
Lou Tuquet, in Fonroque, and Friendly Camping and Lodges, in Saint-Pardoux-la-Rivière, achieve the maximum rating of 5/5. The latter alone offers bubble, star tent, vintage caravan and coco-sweet, a concentrate of the department's unique offer on a single site. La Bûcherie, in Saint-Saud-Lacoussière, follows with 4.9/5 for 304 reviews, a year-round 3-star campsite.
Les Cottages en Périgord, in Saint-Rémy, Le Lieu, in Saint-Jory-de-Chalais, La Ferme de Sirguet, in Monsac, and Camping d'Auberoche, in Bassillac-et-Auberoche, complete the top ranking with 4.8/5 each. The latter offers bivouac by the river, a rare format in the Dordogne selection.
Around Sarlat, capital of the Périgord noir, La Ferme de Villeneuve, in Saint-André-d'Allas, and La Fage, in La Chapelle-Aubareil, show 4.7/5. Lou Castel, in Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, at the foot of the château of the same name, and Camping de Maillac, in Sainte-Nathalène, complete the network around the capital of the Périgord noir.
To the north, in the Périgord vert, Huttopia Lanmary and Au Fil de l'Eau, both in Antonne-et-Trigonant, offer treehouse and a riverside setting. Le Clupeau, in Cherveix-Cubas, adds its own treehouse (4.5/5), while Le Bas Meygnaud, in Brantôme-en-Périgord, the Venice of the Périgord, offers the gypsy caravan.
Further west, towards the Bergeracois, Castelwood, in Biron, at the foot of the Château de Biron, and La Roussie, in Proissans, both offer the treehouse. Le Daguet, in Saint-Laurent-la-Vallée, and Le Convivial, in Saint-Martial-de-Nabirat, offer coco-sweet, while Le Moulin du Chatain, in Payzac, offers a vintage caravan. La Bastide, in Villefranche-du-Périgord, closes the list in the south-west of the department.
Domaine les Chênes Verts, in Calviac-en-Périgord, remains the busiest campsite in the department with 1,126 reviews, followed by La Cigaline in Montpon-Ménestérol (661 reviews) and La Linotte in Le Bugue (538 reviews). All three offer heated pool, on-site restaurant and bar, a real anchor point for exploring the Périgord noir.
Spending a night in unique accommodation in the Dordogne usually means sleeping in a treehouse in the forest, well ahead of bivouac, coco-sweet, gypsy caravan or vintage caravan, the five formats that structure most of the selection. A heated pool equips nearly two-thirds of the campsites, a real plus outside of river swimming. The Périgord noir concentrates most of the upscale offer, between oak forest and the valleys of the Dordogne and Vézère.
Booking a unique stay in the Dordogne requires planning ahead, especially around Sarlat and the Périgord noir: July-August fills the best-rated treehouses and bivouacs several weeks in advance. Spring and the shoulder season remain the most favourable time to enjoy the river and châteaux without the crowds.
Choosing a unique campsite in the Dordogne means opting for a night different from a classic camping stay: treehouse in the forest, bivouac by the water or coco-sweet in a quiet spot. The Dordogne selection is among the best-rated in the network, with a majority of campsites above 4.5/5 and several addresses at the maximum rating.
Sarlat-la-Canéda, capitale du Périgord noir, concentre l’essentiel des visites : marché médiéval, ruelles de pierre blonde et, à quelques kilomètres, les châteaux de Beynac et de Castelnaud qui se font face au-dessus de la Dordogne, juste à côté du camping Lou Castel. La Roque-Gageac, l’un des plus beaux villages de France, complète l’étape en canoë sur la rivière.
Les grottes de Lascaux, près de Montignac, et le gouffre de Proumeyssac, plus au sud, ouvrent sur le patrimoine préhistorique de la vallée de la Vézère. Brantôme, surnommée la Venise du Périgord pour ses canaux et son abbaye bénédictine, complète l’étape au nord, à quelques minutes du camping Le Bas Meygnaud.
Plus à l’ouest, le château de Biron, forteresse construite sur onze siècles, domine la vallée depuis un éperon rocheux, juste au-dessus de Castelwood. La descente de la Dordogne en canoë, entre Vitrac et La Roque-Gageac, reste l’activité la plus prisée l’été.
