The birth of a family project

Floris' parents, Richard and Ineke, are Dutch. They love camping and often come on vacation in France , they criss-cross the southwest in a motorhome with their large family. One day, in the 1970s, they settled in the Cognac region and, a few years later, started looking for a campsite to take over or create. In 1986, they came across this old family pension . There is the castle and its outbuildings of 7 hectares and all around, a very large park of 23 hectares with 3 ponds . It is the perfect place to set up a family project !

Périgord Vert is a popular destination for lovers of greenery and nature sports. It's paradise: The Périgord Limousin Natural Park is an ocean of greenery, with rivers , waterfalls , hundreds of kilometers of hikes for fun on foot or by mountain bike ... Canoeing , swimming , relaxing and of course, gastronomy : everything is there for a good holiday. Sure, the project will work!

In 1997 Floris joined his brother Diederik and his parents at the campsite, in 2007 his wife Véronique joined the team and all together, they took the torch from the parents and brought their personality and joie de vivre to it. The third brother of the band Olivier, lives in the Netherlands and he is the webmaster of the team! Château le Verdoyer is a large campsite with 5 guest rooms in the castle , a bar / snack restaurant , 180 pitches and 80 rentals , but nevertheless, it feels good and a warm atmosphere attracts loyal holidaymakers every year. It's a cosmopolitan clientele who stays here, who appreciates the landscapes , the wooded setting of the different areas of the campsite, between oak grove and pine forest , by the lake or in front of the green hills .

The facilities are open from the end of April to the end of September. Outside of July and August, the campsite remains very attractive, with entertainment and all the services, as in summer.

Château le Verdoyer is also the story of a group of friends who meet every year at foreign camping fairs and who decide to create a chain that reflects their values : "It's so good". Today there are 15 family-run campsites , grouped under the banner of good living and the provision of high-end services . Hospitality , respect for the natural environment, enhancement of the land ... A pledge of quality, which can be found everywhere in France, consult the website of this great group of friends!

Stay at Camping du Château le Verdoyer

What is great and very significant at Château le Verdoyer is the diversity of accommodation :

  • Bare pitches for tents, caravans, motorhomes…
  • Mobile Home of different ranges and sizes according to your family composition
  • Lodge tents : For those who want to test the campsite, appreciate the rustling of nature, the wind in the canvas, while having comfort and equipment
  • Wooden chalets : for nature lovers, but with the real comfort of a small holiday home
  • Wooden caravans : Facing the lake, as in the far west, come and test the " glamping "!
  • Bed and Breakfast : come and play the châtelain and enjoy the chateau life, sleeping in one of the 5 guest rooms, all renovated and comfortable.
  • The good idea : You can mix accommodation . Who said that when you come with your family, you should all sleep in the same place? Children in a tent, parents in a tent-lodge, grandparents in the castle and everyone meets at the pool and at the restaurant. A good idea isn't it?
  • Another idea : Enjoy a night at the castle on the last day of your stay, so as not to have to tidy up and clean everything the morning of departure, go quietly!
