from 2 reviews Write review

In the Corrèze, in the heart of France, you'll find the lovely castle campsite of Le Gibanel. The campsite has a lovely location along the meandering river Dordogne. Some campsites are right on the water! You can step right out of your caravan for a refreshing dive! In the low season it is really quiet in this green oasis and in the high season young campers can easily find playmates at the swimming pool or table tennis tables.

At a castle

The campsite is in a very special location, on an estate with a castle. The property looks very tidy. This also applies to the sanitation facilities, where a part is accessible for the disabled. Thanks to the many trees, you'll easily find a spot in the shade. The real water lovers naturally go for one of the campsites right on the river. In addition to your own camping equipment, you can also rent a mobile home or rental caravan.

The special thing is that the castle is really a part of the campsite! You'll find the restaurant there and a covered recreation space.

Swimming pool and river

Whether you love swimming, fishing, canoeing or pedalos: in and around Le Gibanel it's all possible. At Le Gibanel's location, the Dordogne splits off, so there is a lake with a weaker current. One side of the campsite borders that lake. It's great for renting a canoe, kayak, pedalo or paddle board and exploring the area from the water. Love fishing? The people at the reception will be glad to tell you where the best fishing is.
