Tip from our team
Guests consistently describe Camping Les Borgnes as wonderfully peaceful, especially compared with larger Dordogne holiday parks. Many recommend choosing a shaded pitch or terrace accommodation during peak summer, as the valley heat can be strong in July and August. Early morning is the best time to explore nearby villages — visitors say Rocamadour feels especially magical before the tour buses arrive. Regular guests suggest planning cave visits on hotter days, since underground temperatures remain refreshingly cool. Families often mention the convenience of being so close to canoe rental points along the Dordogne River — a half-day paddle is frequently highlighted as a holiday highlight. Travellers also recommend stocking up on picnic supplies at Souillac before exploring scenic viewpoints and riverside beaches. Evenings on site are known for their relaxed atmosphere. Guests frequently mention enjoying quiet dinners outdoors followed by stargazing — light pollution here is minimal. Reviewers consistently praise the friendly welcome from campsite owners, noting their excellent recommendations for local markets, hidden swimming spots and scenic drives. Several returning visitors advise allowing extra time for Dordogne drives — distances look short, but views make you stop often. Many also suggest visiting smaller villages like Autoire or Martel midweek when they are quieter. Above all, guests say this is a place to slow down, enjoy nature and embrace simple outdoor living — the true spirit of rural France.

A place that tarnishes our beautiful region“A beautiful disaster from start to finish An amateur team/no stock/incomplete menu/uninteresting cuisine/high price for the quality (fries container $5/duck heart skewers $17) Avoid if you want to have a good evening Way too much waiting/it's a bit like the government: nothing works!!”

By the water“This campsite is located by the river and the water sports center. It is quite simple, but the welcome is friendly, the pool is very nice, and the mobile homes are well arranged. The on-site dining is good and inexpensive. You are 20 minutes from Rocamadour, for your information. Be careful, the access is steep for caravans, I find.”
lilix1966- Noise and insecurity
“Large shaded pitches with swimming pool and pebble beach on the Dordogne. Too bad the toilets are not cleaned every day and there are no regulations. It's anarchy, everyone gets where they want without respecting each other's space. Campsite open without barriers, security and no supervision. Cars run at all hours of the night, there is no time of arrival or departure. Holidaymakers speak loudly and knock on the bathroom doors all night. Noise and undefined location. For cleaning CC cassettes, the dedicated area does not have a cleaning tap and staff refer you to the taps on the campsite that are used to recharge drinking water. Too bad it is not better maintained and regulated....”
