Take a break from nature at Capeyrou for the May bank holidays
A haven of peace, nature and conviviality in the Dordogne
Nestling at the foot of majestic cliffs, with a breathtaking view of the Château de Beynac, Le Capeyrou campsite is a green setting where nature, relaxation and conviviality come together. Right in the heart of the Dordogne, this privileged location will delight couples looking for a peaceful retreat as well as lovers of outdoor thrills.
As soon as you arrive, you’ll feel right at home. The space is large, open, surrounded by soothing nature where birdsong accompanies every moment. This is true camping: the pleasure of sleeping under the trees, listening to the wind in the leaves, watching the sun rise gently and ending the day under a starry sky. With its spacious pitches and comfortable lodge tents, everyone can enjoy a stay that blends nature and relaxation.
Our campsite strikes the right balance between tranquillity and leisure. Its aquatic area, with heated outdoor pool and paddling pool for children, is perfect for relaxing after a busy day. For sports enthusiasts, there’s plenty to do: a multi-sports field, lively games of table tennis or a good session of pétanque. And when it’s time to take a breather, head for the pub-style bar, a warm place where it’s easy to meet and chat with holidaymakers from far and wide, all in a friendly atmosphere.
The campsite’s ideal location also means easy access to local shops. With a bakery, butcher’s shop and grocer’s just across the road, every meal becomes a moment of pleasure, with local produce taking pride of place. And for those evenings when the desire to cook gives way to relaxation, the bar-snack bar and food truck offer gourmet options, ideal for enjoying the evening without constraints.
May bank holidays: the ideal time for a nature and discovery getaway
When spring sets in and the first rays of sun caress the Dordogne, the May bank holidays are the perfect opportunity to take a break. An extended weekend in this verdant setting offers a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s a time to slow down, to reconnect with what’s essential, to enjoy the mildness of spring and the rebirth of the countryside.
For couples, it’s an invitation to romance. What could be more enchanting than a hand-in-hand stroll along the Dordogne, lulled by the lapping of the water and the intoxicating scent of the undergrowth? Candlelit dinners continue in the warm atmosphere of the campsite pub, while sunsets over the Beynac cliffs offer an unforgettable spectacle. Bike hire lets you explore the surrounding trails at your own pace, stopping as you please to admire the panorama or enjoy an impromptu picnic.
For sports enthusiasts, the region is a life-size playground. Rivers and cliffs offer a multitude of activities: canoeing along the Dordogne to enjoy the scenery from a different angle, rock climbing on the rock faces that dominate the valley, or hiking with spectacular panoramic views. And after the effort, the return to the campsite becomes a moment of reward: a swim in the heated pool, a moment of sharing around a game of billiards at the bar, or simply the pleasure of relaxing under the trees, listening to the sounds of nature.
The riches of the Périgord Noir are within easy reach. Beynac-et-Cazenac, with its cobbled streets and perched castle, invites you to plunge into history. A little further afield, La Roque-Gageac, listed as one of France’s most beautiful villages, unfurls its waterside charm. Ornate caves, colorful markets and hanging gardens complete this immersive escapade in one of France’s heritage gems.
When you choose to stay at Le Capeyrou for the May bank holidays, you’re treating yourself to much more than just a camping weekend. It’s a break where every moment is an invitation to escape, where every encounter enriches the experience, where nature and well-being resonate in unison. Whether you’re looking for tranquillity or sporting adventure, this exceptional place offers a unique immersion in the heart of Périgord, to be discovered and rediscovered without moderation as a couple or as a family.
