The Region in Detail
Your comprehensive travel guide for camping Dordogne.
North vs. South: Which part of the Dordogne suits you?
The north of the Dordogne attracts visitors with its rolling hills and green forests. Here you will find peace and relaxation. The south, on the other hand, is known for its spectacular cliffs, caves, and prehistoric sites. A must for adventurers and history buffs! 🧭
On the road in the Dordogne: Should the motorhome stay put?
The Dordogne is best explored with your own vehicle. While many small roads are idyllic, they are not always suitable for large motorhomes. Consider parking your camper at a campsite and exploring the surroundings by bike or a smaller rental car. Tolls apply on the motorways, but the country roads are often the more beautiful alternative. 🏞️
