Château le Verdoyer

Alan Rogers Review of Château le Verdoyer

Camping Château le Verdoyer has been developed in the park of a restored château and is owned by a Dutch family. This 22-hectare estate has three lakes, two for fishing and one with a sandy beach and safe swimming area. There are 110 good-sized touring pitches, level, terraced, and hedged. With a choice of wooded area or open field, all have electricity (5/10A), and most share a water supply between four pitches. There is a steep incline from the Chateau, where the majority of pitches are located.

The site offers a pool complex with three heated pools, one covered and a children’s pool, plus a 37-meter water slide. The complex is surrounded by a large sun terrace with luxury recliners. To start your day, you may order a bread basket, which will be delivered to your pitch and contain a selection of French items fresh from the local bakery. During the day, takeaway snacks are also available. In the evening, the site offers traditional French cuisine prepared to a high standard by the resident Chef.  The courtyard area between reception and the bar is home to evening activities, and provides a pleasant place to enjoy drinks and relax.  Booking is recommended to avoid disappointment. This site caters well to those with disabilities, with two fully adapted chalets, wheelchair access to all facilities, and even a hoist in the pool. Apart from cycle hire and tennis, all other facilities are free, including the kids club, and there is no charge for children under five; fishing is also free, but you are expected to return your catch back into the lake.   

We particularly like this site for its beautiful buildings and lovely surroundings. It is situated in the lesser known area of the Dordogne sometimes referred to as the Périgord Vert, with its green forests and small lakes.
