A family run campsite

In 1975, Mr. Lacoste, a Périgordin farmer in the Dordogne Valley, started renting pitches so that holidaymakers (few in number at the time) could settle down for a few days and visit the region. The large 6ha plot is ideally located at the foot of the village of Beynac and its castle, 5 minutes from the Dordogne river, not far from the bewitching village of La Roque Gageac... The campsite is popular and is developing slowly.

In 2008, Caroline and Derrick, a Franco-Dutch couple, lovers of travel and beautiful destinations, decided to leave everything behind (he was a micro-electronics engineer and she was in social work with children with multiple disabilities). A daring gamble, they visited several destinations before falling in love with Camping les Deux Vallées, which they bought from Monsieur Lacoste! They settle in a mobile home and improve the services of the campsite. Today Camping les Deux Vallées has a beautiful heated swimming pool, 110 pitches with quality rentals and above all, it has kept its warm and family atmosphere. Caroline and Derrick also live there with their two daughters who were born in Périgord. The Dordogne Valley is very busy in summer and yet here, you always feel at home, on vacation with friends!

In summer, a bus service allows holidaymakers from the campsite to walk around the Valley using public transport. It is very practical, economical and really pleasant. You just have to leave the car at the campsite during the holidays.

A campsite with a heated swimming pool, entertainment and a good location

Camping les Deux Vallées is a 3 star, it has a very beautiful infinity pool (heated), it is surrounded by a beach with deckchairs and parasols for resting or sunbathing!

For the pleasure of the whole family, but especially children, in the park there is a playground, a bowling alley, a volleyball court, a small private pond to try your hand at fishing, as well as a games room indoor with table football, pinball and of course WIFI throughout the campsite, important for young people, isn't it? There is entertainment in summer for children and teenagers, but also the possibility of doing activities in partnership with external service providers : bicycle rental with Bike Bus, to ride on two wheels in the valley, canoe descent with departure from the campsite , etc.
