ABOUT THE CAMPSITE
Located in the countryside of the Dordogne lies the welcoming and rustic family campsite Les Tailladis. Upon arrival, you are warmly greeted by the Hirsch family, originally from the Netherlands. Enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and the breathtaking nature of the Périgord Noir — the vibrant heart of the golden triangle between Les Eyzies, Montignac and Sarlat.
Camping Les Tailladis is ideal for regional explorers, nature lovers and campers who enjoy peace and quiet. The restaurant serves daily-changing dishes typical of the Dordogne, and every week the campsite organises a guided canoe trip on the Dordogne river.

The places Rink-Jan recommends himself, with the distance from the campsite.
Sports & activities16.8 kmFrom the canoe base by the bridge at Vitrac you paddle in half a day past La Roque-Gageac and beneath the castles of Castelnaud and Beynac. Along the way you stop at a pebble beach for a swim; at the end you're taken back to your car.

Sports & activities8.9 kmQuieter and narrower than the Dordogne: the Vézère winds past castles and beneath the cliff of La Roque Saint-Christophe. The base is in Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère, one of the most beautiful villages in France; choose a trip lasting from one hour to a whole day.
View on the map →
Sports & activities18 kmAdventure park on an island in the Dordogne, reached by a suspension bridge. Nine courses and one and a half kilometres of zip wires, partly over the water. Afterwards, relax in hammocks above the river and nets in the trees.
View on the map →
Sports & activities11.6 kmCar-free cycle path along the old railway line from Sarlat to Cazoulès, 25 kilometres in the shade along the Dordogne, with a viaduct over the river at Groléjac. You can hire bikes at the starting point in Sarlat; along the way there are picnic spots and villages.
View on the map →
Beach & nature2.2 kmEight-hectare swimming lake in the valley of the Beune, the same stream that flows past the campsite. Man-made beach, lifeguarded in summer, a playground, picnic tables and a kiosk; a footpath goes all the way around it. The village of Tamniès sits on the hill above.
View on the map →
Beach & nature16.6 kmHanging gardens on a rock above the Dordogne, with 150,000 hand-clipped box shrubs and paths leading to a viewpoint 130 metres above the river. You look out over Beynac, Castelnaud and La Roque-Gageac; children clamber in the nets between the trees.
View on the map →
Beach & nature21.9 kmThe largest show cave in the Périgord, a dome 52 metres deep known as the crystal cathedral. You descend through a tunnel or, like the first visitors, in a basket on a cable, with a sound and light show at the bottom.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips9.4 kmThe most famous prehistoric cave in the world, fully replicated at the foot of the hill near Montignac: 17,000-year-old bulls, horses and deer, recreated right down to the cracks in the rock. Book your time slot online, as the tours fill up quickly in summer.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips9.6 kmMedieval town with hundreds of listed buildings, honey-coloured façades and alleyways that are best explored in the evening when the gas lamps are lit. There's a market on Place de la Liberté on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and the old Sainte-Marie church houses a covered market with truffles and nuts.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips15.2 kmMedieval fortress on a rock high above the Dordogne, nine centuries old and during the Hundred Years' War the French stronghold facing English-held Castelnaud. You walk through furnished halls and Richard the Lionheart's room; from the keep you can see the whole valley.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips17.7 kmThe castle of Joséphine Baker, who raised her Rainbow Tribe of twelve adopted children here after the war. Inside you'll see her stage costumes and the 1950s bathrooms; outside there's a bird of prey show on the large terrace.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips7.8 kmForgotten fortress in a quiet valley near Les Eyzies, cleared of overgrowth in recent decades: a keep, cave dwellings in the rock and a prehistoric cave below, all built on top of each other. Children get a medieval treasure hunt and there's an escape room.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips7.9 kmThirteenth-century castle, still lived in by the same family, with the legend of the White Lady: Thérèse de Saint-Clar, whose husband locked her in the north tower for fifteen years. In summer there are evenings with performances, lights and fireworks.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips9.4 kmA kilometre-long cliff above the Vézère where people lived for 55,000 years, from prehistory to a medieval fort with hundreds of inhabitants. Reconstructed kitchens, a chapel and hoisting machines show how it worked; the terraces hang eighty metres above the valley.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips14.3 kmThe capital of prehistory: the National Museum of Prehistory, built against the cliff face, displays 18,000 finds from the Vézère valley. Nearby is Font-de-Gaume, the last cave in France with polychrome paintings that you can still actually visit; tickets are scarce, so book well ahead.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips17.9 kmThe most visited castle in the Dordogne, with a museum about warfare in the Middle Ages: suits of armour, crossbows and life-size catapults on the ramparts. In summer the trebuchets are actually fired and children can try on a suit of armour; from the walls you look straight across at Beynac.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips19.2 kmFortified town from 1281 on a rock high above the Dordogne, with houses of golden stone and the widest view in the region from the Esplanade de la Barre. Beneath the market square lies a 450-metre stalactite cave; a panoramic lift brings you back up.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips16.6 kmVillage against a cliff on the Dordogne, with houses that seem to grow out of the rock and a garden with palms and banana plants on the warm south side. From the quay you can take an hour's trip on a gabarre, a replica cargo boat.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips16.1 kmThe cave of the hundred mammoths: an electric train takes you kilometres into the hill past 15,000-year-old drawings of mammoths, bison and woolly rhinoceroses. The final stop is a ceiling with 66 figures. It's always cool inside, so bring a jumper.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips10.9 kmGardens of an estate that has been in the same family for five hundred years, with shapes of box, yew and hornbeam that are still clipped by hand. Seven springs feed the ponds and fountains; the white rose garden and the French garden are the highlights.
View on the map →
Restaurant3.3 kmFamily restaurant in the village of Tamniès, in the same hands for five generations, serving classic Périgord cuisine: pan-fried foie gras, scrambled eggs with truffle and walnut ice cream. Eat in the dining room or on the terrace by the village square, handy after an afternoon at the lake.
View on the map →
Restaurant9.2 kmBistro in a stone house on the edge of Sarlat's old centre, with an Eiffel-style veranda and a summer terrace. Honest regional cooking with foie gras and duck confit; the café gourmand for dessert is a firm favourite. Booking is wise.
View on the map →
Restaurant8.6 kmGarden restaurant with a Michelin star in the village of Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère, run by Australian chef Nick Honeyman with his wife Sina as sommelier. Modern dishes made with local produce, served in the garden; a place for a special night out, so book well ahead.
View on the map →
Practical11.3 kmLarge Leclerc on the edge of Sarlat with a fresh produce section, its own bakery and a large car park. The obvious place for your big weekly shop; walnuts, confit and local wine are on the shelves too.
View on the map →
Practical55.3 kmSmall airport in the Dordogne, with direct flights from Rotterdam in the summer season. The hire cars are at the terminal; you drive to the campsite via Le Bugue.

We are experienced campers with decades of great times in tents, trailer tents, camping cars and caravans and I can honestly say we had the best welcome ever from Lisa when we arrived here on Friday. Everything at Camping Les Tailladis is aimed at making your stay as enjoyable as possible. The plots are a good size and mostly level. We chose a delightful spot overlooking the fields and with plenty of afternoon sun to enjoy. The sanitary facilities are well maintained and clean. It was a pleasant surprise to find the bar and restaurant open at the very end of the season (1–4 Nov). After a complimentary welcome drink at the bar we returned and enjoyed a very reasonably priced, tasty three-course meal. We shall definitely be back to stay here and would recommend it to our friends and family.

Eco friendly Dutch owned camping with the heart in the right place. Good recycling facilities, water management and cleaning of the pool. It best suits a calmer crowd as there are activities, but mostly for children. Boule, flipper, fusball, pool, board games and a small library was more for the adult crowd. Staff were always helpful and friendly. Quality of food in the restaurant was great and at reasonable prices. We left the camping light hearted after a warm goodbye from the owners.
How all camping sites should be!! Difficult to allot scores for everything but I think that you have overlooked perhaps your greatest strength which is the attitude of all of your staff. I have rarely been in a situation where everyone is so willing to help and with such good will - a super team of people - can't wait to return.
