Camping Moulin de Campech

Alan Rogers Review of Camping Moulin de Campech

This well-shaded, pretty site is run by Sue and George Thomas, who have owned it since 1999. On-site, there are 46 large-sized pitches divided mainly by hedges, and electric hook-up points are available (6A, long leads may be necessary for places but can be borrowed free of charge).

The main focus of this campsite is at the site's entrance, which is the trout lake surrounded by willow trees, and it runs under the restored mill house, which is home to where the owners live. The mill house is where you will find the campsite bar and restaurant. Enjoy the views of the lake on the terrace whilst enjoying the home-cooked food by Sue (Fresh trout is on the menu). Other on-site facilities include an outdoor swimming pool on an elevated area above the mill house. A small stream from the lake continues through both sides of the site.

A cheery welcome awaits you, along with a determination to ensure that you enjoy your stay. All campers are provided with a folder on arrival that contains useful information about the site and the surrounding area. The owners are keen cyclists and hikers; they will willingly share their knowledge with you. Maps of walks are available in the bar. The site is next to a large forest where deer and boar roam freely. The area has many bastide towns or fortified villages dating back to the twelfth century. Many of the towns have markets, perhaps the best being at Nerac on Saturday mornings.
