Camping des Bastides ^★★★★

Wat een heerlijke camping. Twee heerlijke weken verbleven in een stacaravan. Ja, de caravans zijn niet de nieuwste, nee, er is geen airco... Maar de caravans zijn schoon, staan op een geweldige plek en hebben prima inventaris.
De camping is niet groot, maar de plaatsen (zowel staplaatsen voor eigen tent/vouwwagen/caravan,... als de mobilehomes en chalets) zijn wijdverspreid en de plekken zijn ruim. Je staat tussen de bomen, op een prachtig glooiende berghelling. De camping ligt vlakbij allerlei mooie dorpjes en stadjes met prachtige chateaus, bastides en middeleeuwse huizen. Er zijn volop markten en (middeleeuwse) festivals te bezoeken en er is ontzettend veel in de omgeving te doen. Fietsen, kanoën, klimmen etc.
De camping zelf heeft een mooi en schoon zwembad met grote glijbaan.
De eigenaren van de camping zijn werkelijk ontzettend vriendelijk en enthousiast. Ze willen alles voor je doen om er voor te zorgen dat je verblijf fantastisch is.
Twee keer per week is er een bbq- en een pizza-avond. Gezellig en lekker eten voor een hele kleine prijs.
Brood wordt iedere ochtend op bestelling vers gebakken.
Verwacht geen 5 sterren camping. Verwacht een hartstikke fijne camping, met fijne mensen, waar een gemoedelijke sfeer hangt en velen al jaren terugkomen.

Soms wat problemen met t sanitair maar dit werd direct verholpen door vriendelijke eigenaar. Kleine camping, knus en ideaal met kleine kinderen. Het verse brood iedere dag was heerlijk. Op woensdag de eetmarkt in salles, aanrader!

We don't usually go to a campsite twice but this summer we will definitely be back at Des Bastides! Our kids (10 & 13) absolutely loved it and socialised with French and Dutch teens until late in the evening. The campsite has everything you need and nothing you don't need. It ticked all the boxes for... us. Not too big, very personal, not too strict, a lovely bar with very decent prices, fresh bread every morning and... a fantastic football court! An absolute must for our boys. Most guests are French and Dutch, I think 50/50. The animation was done by a very dedicated young lady who spoke at least 3 languages and loved organising sporty events for young and grown-up guests. The heated swimming pool was not big, but still very nice. The surroundings are perfect for cycling! The French owners were lovely and will do everything for their guests. Only thing that could be better is wifi at the bar ;-) Looking forward to be back this summer!

Not normally a camper so not sure how this site compares but for what I was expecting it pretty much ticked all the boxes. The owners really seem to care and are extremely friendly and I think genuinely want you to enjoy your stay with them and not get ripped off.

Plenty for the kids with inflatables,... pool and football. Food is good, showers and toilets clean and a beautiful location

Couple of things. I think they although the owners clearly do not want to oversell to guests I think they are also underselling. Shop could do with more choice, especially for inexperienced campers like us. Menu is limited and drink choices are limited but I think if you were there a few days they would get you in you favourite tipple

Really warm, welcome despite arriving late because of traffic. The owners speak good english/

We were camping as a family in a tent.

Nice flat pitch, sheltered and shaded (needed as temperature when we were there got up to 36). Two very clean amenity blocks nearby, with nice hot showers.

Swimming... pool was lovely, never too crowed, and the large spiral water slide was good fun. There is also a smaller children's pool.

Loads to do in the local area and some stunning scenery - huge numbers of fortified chateaux / castles (or Bastides as they are properly called) along with walled hill-top villages. All the local tourist sites were pretty cheap to get into, and the locals were very welcoming - we arrived a one castle about 2 hours before closing time and they let us in for free as it was 'nearly closing time'. We had a day trip out to the world famous Lascaux caves and also some smaller cave dwellings nearby which we would also recommend.

A little bit more detail on the campsite - You can hire a full size fridge for your stay (which we did) - great if you are in a tent so you don't have to rely on freezer packs etc.
They campsite has a small bar / restaurant, an tourist information booth, a shop (where they deliver fresh bread, croissants etc for breakfast every day), wifi, a great pool, water slide, toddler pool, hot-tub, boules pitch, rope bridges, inflatable castle, trampoline.

The site was generally quiet and is well spread out - you never feel on top of each other with hedges and trees separating the pitches.

For those who want a bit more luxury than a tent they also hire chalets and yurts.

All in all - one of the best campsites we have stayed on - everything you could need, clean and very reasonably priced, and based in a really nice area with lots to do. We would highly recommend this site.
