Camping Brantome Peyrelevade

A large campsite with two pools, heated indoor and outdoor. Large pitches most had shade and had hedges for separation and some riverside. There was a little sandy beach with deck chairs, a nice little touch. The campsite had water issues during our week’s stay with the older, larger shower block being closed at times and pitch side taps turned off. Two washing machines. Great hot showers but the hot water for washing up took a good ten minutes unless you ran three taps at once. The maintenance team were working most of the time on plumbing issues or general ground maintenance. The smaller third shower block was closed except for one toilet, this part of the site was in a more secluded area although closer to the road. Site is next to tennis courts and stadium. Great location for visiting Brantome, Friday market is good.

We have stayed on this campsite a couple of times. It is perfect for visiting Brantome as it is only a short walk into the pretty town with the abbey. The campsite is next to a road but many of the pitches are far enough away for this not to be noisy. Some pitches are around the outdoor pool and these can be noisy in the daytime. The facilities are kept clean and the showers are good. As someone else mentioned, hot water in the sinks was problematic when we were there in some of the sanitary blocks. The site had a water leak but it wasn't clear if this was related. The pitches are mostly shaded and a good size and you can pick where you want to camp. The campervan aire pitches have very little shade. There are bungalows that are dotted around the site. We were given a guide to local walks and cycle routes and this was helpful. We walked and cycled around the surrounding countryside on quiet roads, paths and tracks and visited the Tranquil Gardens nearby.
