from 607 reviews Write review

Camping Les Vernières is located on the banks of the Dordogne. You'll be camping on spacious, well-maintained touring pitches or in one of the exceptional rental properties, such as a yurt. With a an indoor, heated swimming pool, cuddly donkeys and a large playground, this is truly a family campsite. The surrounding area is a paradise for hiking. For example, climb the highest peak of the Massif Central.

Welcome!

When you swap the A71 for the A89 at Combronde, you are already driving towards the 'dômes', the dome-shaped mountains of the Massif Central. Take exit 25 at Saint-Julien-Puy-Lavèze in the direction of La Bourboule. When you have reached La Bourboule, you are in the middle of the domed mountains, in the valley of the Dordogne.

Adventurous rental accommodations

Les Vernières has 165 flat and spacious touring pitches, situated on well-maintained lawns, separated by hedges or shrubs. A small disadvantage: between the river and the campsite there is a road. The touring pitches along this road may have some trouble with noise. The campsite has 19 rental accommodations. In addition to chalets and bungalows, you can stay in an ecolodge or an ecological hut. Or choose a yurt for a very adventurous holiday.

Being active outdoors

A large playground, trampoline and bouncy castle guarantee hours of fun. Small campers can also have fun in the covered and heated swimming pool. And you are only twelve kilometres away from the highest peak of the Massif Central: the Puy de Sancy. Suitable for hikers of all levels. Walk along waterfalls and through flowering meadows.

Liked - We had a two night stay: reception was welcoming and the site was very well organised. All facilities were very clean and the newest one was exceptionally thoughtfully designed making for very pleasant and easy use.. Facilities for children were great and included a bouncy castle for children and a lovely swimming pool complete with water slides.The beautiful town of La Bourboule was within an easy walk from the site.
Disliked - There is nothing to dislike.
