Ascension weekend at Le Capeyrou campsite: nature, family, and relaxation guaranteed
A campsite surrounded by nature, with a view of history and your feet in the river
Located in Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the heart of the Dordogne, Le Capeyrou campground is the perfect destination for families looking for a friendly, peaceful, and authentic experience. Here, you will find the true spirit of camping: bare pitches for tents or caravans, pretty lodge tents for added comfort, and above all, a unique setting that is both simple and spectacular. From the campsite, the direct view of the Château de Beynac perched on top of the cliff sets the tone: you are indeed in one of the most beautiful corners of the Périgord Noir.
The site is bordered by the river, a real bonus for those who love relaxing by the water or budding explorers who enjoy playing in the Dordogne. It's not uncommon to see children inventing adventures by the water's edge while their parents read a book or enjoy a moment of calm in the shade of the trees. This little corner of nature offers an ideal playground, far from the hustle and bustle, but full of life.
Children quickly find their bearings: there is a playground, a multi-sports field, ping-pong tables (with paddles available at reception), a pool table in the bar, and even books and board games available free of charge at reception.
The atmosphere is warm and friendly, without any pretensions. Guests can enjoy a game of pétanque, meet up in the evening to chat at the pub-style snack bar, and make the most of the aquatic area, which includes a heated outdoor pool, a paddling pool for toddlers, and deckchairs for relaxing in the sun. Everything is in place to allow each member of the family to enjoy their vacation at their own pace.
Right across from the campground, there is a small grocery store, a bakery, and a few other shops where you can stock up on supplies without having to take the car.
Ascension Day: a special time to get together with family
Spring is coming, the days are getting longer, and with them comes that irresistible urge to take a break. The Ascension weekend, with its four days of vacation, comes at just the right time. It's the perfect opportunity to get away with the family, far from the daily grind. By choosing to come to Capeyrou at this time of year, you can enjoy a simple and authentic escape in a preserved environment, at the foot of a medieval castle and a stone's throw from the river.
The campsite is gradually coming back to life: families who return every year can be seen, people take part in impromptu sports activities on the field, or take a well-deserved break with a cold drink at the bar. Children play, parents relax, and everyone finds their place without any constraints. This long weekend is a little taste of the summer holidays: we rediscover the pleasure of simple things, the outdoors, and life together.
It is also an opportunity to explore the region. From the campsite, you have access to everything that makes the Périgord so rich: the Château de Beynac, of course, but also La Roque-Gageac, Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, the gardens of Marqueyssac, boat trips on the Dordogne, visits to prehistoric caves, and the traditional markets of Sarlat. Enough to fill your days with family memories, without ever getting bored.
At this time of year, visitor numbers are still low, the weather is pleasant, and you can enjoy the site and its surroundings in the best possible conditions. Whether you enjoy relaxing, cycling, or hunting for historical treasures, everything you need for a successful stay is right here.
Our Capeyrou campground has everything you need to ensure that you and your family enjoy an exceptionalAscension weekend in Dordogne. With sightseeing, family time, the camping spirit, and the return of sunny days, don't wait any longer to reserve your spot!
