Camping holidays in Dordogne

The Dordogne is an area of outstanding natural beauty, a land rich in history and culture. Ancient fortresses watch over meandering rivers and charming villages of golden stone. Camping in the Dordogne is one of the best ways to enjoy the vivid and varied scenery of this region.

Our campsites and mobile homes in the Dordogne have been carefully selected for their quality and location. The campsites are all extremely well equipped, with a wide range of facilities and activities to keep you entertained on your Dordogne camping holiday whether you are travelling as a couple or a family. Canvas Holidays offer the finest campsites and mobile homes in the Dordogne at the best possible prices.

Our campsites are located in the heart of region, and are close to many of its key attractions:

Roque Gageac
Regularly voted France’s prettiest village, clinging precariously to a rock face overlooking the Dordogne, this is an artist’s paradise with many small galleries and good restaurants.

Sarlat
A beautiful town carved from golden stone and full of Gothic and Renaissance buildings. This makes for an enchanting visit, with narrow, winding streets and a vibrant market every Saturday; the perfect place for a day trip while camping in the Dordogne.

Fôret des Singes
See Barbary Macaques monkeys roam freely in their natural habitat at this park. Wander through the forest and feed them popcorn.

Domme
A medieval village, dominating the valley from a hill top position. The small streets bloom with summer flowers and offer exceptional views over the Dordogne rivers and valleys. Camping les Granges in Grolejac is perfectly placed for a visit to Domme.

Grotte du Grand Roc
A cave with 40m of tunnels and a beautiful collection of stalagmites and stalactites. From the entrance, you get stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Rocamadour
Rocamadour is an extraordinary village that clings to the side of a cliff. This has been a pilgrimage site since the 12th century and much of its medieval splendour still remains. Pilgrims climb up the Via Sancta, leading to the main square, by kneeling on every one of the 216 steps.

With so many local highlights and such a great selection of campsites and luxury mobile homes in the Dordogne, our camping holidays in this region are truly unmissable.
