Family-friendly campsites
Dordogne campsites are perfect for combining nature, peace and activity. Something for all the family. Swimming pools and water parks, often with slides, are a delight for children, while their parents can relax in a peaceful setting on their pitch or in front of their rental accommodation. Many of these campsites also offer entertainment for younger children during the high season. They can meet up at the Children's Club, where activity leaders offer creative workshops and outdoor games. This is the best place to make friends during your Dordogne camping holidays. Once the kids' club is over, they can meet up with their new friends on the campsite playground or in the ever-popular bouncy castles. Their parents won't be left out either. At family campsites in the Dordogne, they can take part in sports tournaments in a friendly atmosphere. Football, volleyball or pétanque will be on the programme for your camping holidays in the Dordogne. Unless you prefer the peace and quiet of your campsite pitch to read a book in the shade of a tree. There's something for everyone. And in the evenings, the whole family can get together to enjoy shows or themed evenings for young and old.
Accommodation for large families
Whatever the size of your family, you'll find accommodation to suit you at your campsite in the Dordogne. Some mobile homes are suitable for large families with 3 or 4 bedrooms. Some models can even accommodate large groups of more than 10 people. Campsite pitches are spacious enough to accommodate a caravan or motorhome, as well as a tent for children, who will appreciate having their own living space and freedom. For young children, some family campsites in the Dordogne have sanitary facilities with areas designed for the little ones (washbasins at child height, colourful decorations, etc.) as well as showers for babies. Whether you're renting or staying in a tent or caravan, the pleasure of a camping holiday also lies in being close to nature. Children will love being outdoors, in contact with nature, running barefoot in the grass or admiring the starry sky. And, much to their delight, several campsites in the Dordogne have mini-farms where they can pet the goats or feed the chickens.
Discover the Dordogne with your family
Wherever you stay during your family holiday in the Périgord, there's plenty to see and do. Castles, medieval villages and caves will take you on a journey through centuries of history. Your children will dream of becoming knights or prehistoric men for the duration of a visit. Some even offer fun tours specially designed for them. Château des Milandes, for example, organises bird-of-prey shows, while Château de Bridoire offers games on the theme of chivalry. Not forgetting the village of Le Bournat, set in 1900, with its farm and merry-go-rounds from another era. As well as sightseeing, the region is full of activities for all the family. The great classic is canoeing. With its many rivers, you'll be spoilt for choice. The Dordogne, Vézère and Dronne are just some of the magnificent rivers to discover. Children will also love the accrobranche (tree climbing) courses that can be found all over the department, or the Périgord Vert vélo-rail for a family outing.
