Treat yourself to a break in the Dordogne for Pentecost with your grandchildren
A family campsite surrounded by nature, facing the Château de Beynac
Why not take advantage of the Pentecost weekend to get away from it all, without traveling too far? In the heart of the Dordogne, in the magnificent village of Beynac-et-Cazenac, lies a rare gem: a campsite that has managed to preserve the very essence of what camping is all about. Le Capeyrou welcomes you to an exceptional setting, between river, cliffs and heritage, with breathtaking views of the medieval castle perched just above.
Here, there is nothing superfluous, just the essentials for a successful vacation: a peaceful natural setting, a friendly atmosphere, and well-designed facilities. Whether you are a fan of tents or looking for a little more comfort, you can choose between shaded campsites or lodge tents, perfect for combining the spirit of camping with practicality. All this in a green setting where you wake up to the sound of birdsong.
For family time, head to the pool area: a heated outdoor pool to relax or swim a few laps, a paddling pool for the little ones, and deckchairs all around to relax in the sun with a book. While the children have fun inthe playground or on the multi-sports field, adults can get together for a game of pétanque or table tennis (rackets available at reception) or enjoy a coffee at the bar in a relaxed, pub-style atmosphere. For quieter times, board games and books are available at reception.
Just across the street, a small grocery store, a bakery, and other shops complete the picture, allowing you to enjoy a relaxing vacation without having to rush around. All this in a region rich in scenery, gastronomy, and history. Here, families rediscover what really matters: the pleasure of being together, surrounded by nature, far from the hustle and bustle.
