Camping Le Plein Air des Bories is located on the banks of the river Dordogne, in the Périgord Noir. The family campsite for a quiet holiday in a very touristy area. You are surrounded by castles, caves and medieval villages like Sarlat-la-Canéda. Take a dip in the Dordogne or discover the river by canoe. And is the weather unexpectedly a little less? Then you can swim in the swimming pool, covered with a sliding roof.

Show more

Welcome!

eave the A20 motorway at Souillac and drive into the Dordogne valley. Camping Le Plein Air des Bories is located near the village of Carsac-Aillac, about ten kilometres below the town of Sarlat-la-Canéda. Driving from that village to the banks of the Dordogne will take you to a sparsely populated rural area. That's where the campsite is located.

Camping on the banks of the Dordogne

The camping fields with spacious touring pitches are alternated with rental accommodations. Many pitches are delimited by hedges or shrubs and are sheltered by trees. The most beautiful pitches are located directly by the river. The Dordogne has lovely swimming water and stays shallow on the banks for a long time. So if you are on holiday with small children, they can safely (but under supervision) swim in the river. There is also a swimming pool on the campsite. When it rains, the sliding roof closes.

Entertainment

For the little ones there is an entertainment programme during the summer months. Enjoy paella evenings and barbecues at the bar, the place to be also for karaoke and dancing. If you want to go out for dinner or do some shopping, Carsac-Aillac is a great destination.

Liked - We loved being right by the river. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The pitches were separated with hedges and trees giving some privacy and making you feel amongst nature.
Disliked - We probably missed the comment about taking our own toilet roll.

Liked - We stayed just before the high season started, which was perfect if you like a quieter place for your holiday. The prices are great for what you get. As the camping filled up right before we left, it became a bit too crowded for our personal liking. The owners are extremely helpful and made us feel welcome from day one! Thanks again :)
Disliked - Of course mosquitos are a common problem, and staff were actively trying to combat them with insecticide in the sanitary buildings. Maybe sensor lights in the toilets at night would reduce the number of mosquitos there

Travelling party: Family with children, 12 - 18 years

Liked - Access to the river could not have been better
Disliked - Would benefit from more toilet/shower facilities and given very heavy use, they need more regular cleaning.
Also: provide toilet paper. I haven't visited another campsite where you need your own toilet paper in at least 15 years!
