Your campsite in the heart of the Dordogne countryside

Fancy a real campsite in the Dordogne countryside, far from the hustle and bustle? Do you dream of calm, space and authentic nature in the heart of the Périgord Noir? Slow Village offers you two eco-responsible havens of peace: Saint-Cybranet on the banks of the Céou River, and Séveilles near a peaceful lake. A promise to live the slow life, to rediscover your inner rhythm in an unspoilt setting, and the ideal alternative for your next vacation in the Dordogne.

Country lodgings with natural elegance

Here, in the heart of the Périgord Noir countryside, our accommodations don't seek to impose themselves, but to humbly interact with the landscape of meadows, woods and water. Conceived as discreet refuges nestled beneath centuries-old oaks, on the banks of the Céou River or facing the tranquil Lac de Séveilles, they redefine luxury. Forget the superfluous; the real treasure here lies in the space that breathes, the deep silence disturbed only by the sounds of nature, the raw beauty of eco-responsible wood. Is your ideal a vast, light-filled cottage? A charming cabin ? Or a simple spot under the stars? Each option is designed to promote an authentic, peaceful Périgord experience. This is our vision of camping in the Dordogne countryside: a gentle, respectful immersion, a discreet quality often underlined by our customers' reviews.

Cottage Signature: space to breathe to the rhythm of Périgord

Imagine waking up here: the golden light of early morning in the Dordogne filters through the foliage, flooding a generous space where light wood soothes the eye. The Cottage Signature is not just a place to sleep, it's an invitation to take your time. Preparing breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen, savoring it at length on the vast private wooden terrace while listening to the morning birdsong, reading a book in the luminous calm of the living room... The emphasis is on ease and fluidity, reinforced by the presence of two or three bathrooms that simplify life with family or friends. Whichever option you choose (the comfortable spaciousness of the two-bedroom (approx. 35m²/4p/2sdb), the perfect balance of the three-bedroom (approx. 40m²/6p/2sdb), or the exceptional modularity of the four-bedroom with independent studio (approx. 62m²/8p/3sdb)), the experience remains one of simple, tranquil luxury, in direct connection with the surrounding nature of the Périgord Noir.

After a day spent wandering the forest trails, visiting a charming village or strolling through a local market, what a pleasure it is to return to the warmth of the Premium Cottage! Designed as a cosy nest, it smells of wood and invites you to share. It's here that families recount their adventures over a board game, and couples recount the world in hushed tones on the terrace. The functional layout and two bathrooms make life easy, leaving plenty of room for precious moments. Available in two-bedroom (approx. 34m²/4p) or three-bedroom (approx. 40m²/6p) versions, it embodies the serene conviviality so dear to the Slow Village spirit, a true heart of life for your camping vacation in the Dordogne.

Nature pitches: camping in its freest version

Setting up on one of our "Nature" pitches means choosing the fundamental freedom of camping. It means feeling the grass or earth of the Périgord under your feet, pitching your own tent, parking your caravan or mobile home under the benevolent canopy of oaks or pines. It's living the simple rhythm of the outdoors: coffee smoking in the early morning, meals shared in the open air, evenings under a deep sky studded with stars. Our spacious pitches, designed to preserve your peace and quiet, guarantee this raw experience, while giving you access to modern sanitary facilities and village services(swimming pool, guinguette). This is the original Dordogne country camping spirit, enhanced by the Slow Village touch.

Between meadows, woods and rivers: the countryside as you like it

Choosing a Slow Village in the Périgord means allowing yourself a total immersion in the unspoilt Dordogne countryside.

Far from the hustle and bustle of Sarlat, you'll rediscover peace and quiet. There's no noisy entertainment here: the real luxury is silence, filled with the sounds of nature. Contemplating a pure night sky, rich in stars, is a rare experience that makes the search for a campsite in the Dordogne countryside all the more worthwhile.

Our educational mini-farm is a gentle invitation to observe and interact with animals.
