Campsite values
Stefan and Doris, the
campsite owners wish to encourage the family atmosphere as the campsite
is based on family traditions and values. Over 25 acres are at your
diposal, feel free to roam where you like. It is a point of Stefan and
Doris that nobody shall remain anonymus. You are encouraged to join
them for a drink in the bar each evening. Ask them questions, they will
most likely have the answer and even if they don't they would be only
to happy to find out for you. If you would like to explore the area
they realise everyone has different tastes, just go and ask! They know
the "Périgord" very well and are pleased to be of service. If on
the other hand you prefere to savour the tranquillity of the campsite
and spend your time relaxing on site. Feel free! They will not get in
your way! Both Stefan and Doris will be at your disposal any time.
Children
Kids can play at Camping Maisonneuve in safety, let them roam around to do as they like. Let them play in the creek on the campsite boundary, fish in our pond, walk in the woods, swim in our pool, play table football or table tennis in fact almost anything. All we ask is that you remember to keep an eye on them, especially when near water.
Campsite Facilities and Activities
The campsite restaurant "Au Chateau d'eau", is to be found just beside the swimming pool in an old modified barn. Here you will find both regional and international dishes. Whether you'd like steak and chips,a classic regional French dish or the daily changing "Plat du Jour", just try it out! Fancy a snack? They're available too! Situated within "Au Chateau d'eau" is a fully licensed bar which caters for most Europeans tastes. Here you can purchase soft drinks for the kids, cocktails for the ladies or some french and german draft beers (half pint or pint) or fine other beers, all served ice-cold, just right for those long hot Dordogne evenings so often found in the summer. In the evenings there is satellite TV available and a choice music from a huge selection of CDs and videos covering everything from 60s tunes, to Rock, Blues and recent Pop. And if you're a musician, you can try your hand on our band equipment. We have a set of drums, guitars, keybord, the works!
Swimming Pool
Measuring a generous 23 ft by 46 ft an ideal location for a long hot summers day idled away with a cool drink on the sun deck. In the evening, why not swim under the stars, it's fully illuminated and free to all patrons. A truly unforgettable experience.
Sports Field
Situated beside our swimming pool is a new sports field designed for Badminton, Volleyball and many other games . Very popular and again no charge is made.

How else can you get a better understanding of the history surrounding this fabulous area.
