This CC sold site has a problem in that the SAT NAV including the clubs our branded version which wiill take you up a 2mt wide dead end with no turning point, you have to back out !!!!

At the point on the D15 where it wants to take you off there is a smallish sign for the campsite in the oppisite direction and continueing on the D15. Follow this for 3 to 4 miles and it eventually takes you up a back road, around a hill to the site. there
are site boards on the way otherwise you might give up. Not the best site to find.

The site is fairly poor for a Castel chain site and all the site roads are a dust bowel. Good thing is a decent swiming pool which you will need once you get to the site.

We used it as easy access from the motorway, waste of time and a quality site in Sarlat might have been benifical. This site is approx 30 mins from the motorway

    Another one to avoid then! Actually, having a pool and being in the Club's list would disqualify it for us but then that's only because we are oldies and the kids have left home.

    This site has over the years seemed to be pictured in lots of articles etc about France and it always looked good so a few years back we stopped there for an overnight. It had been quite bad weather and the picthes were a mess, the pool was great but the
    takeaway was poor so wont be rushing back. As said it is also quite isolated.
