Camping des Tourbières

Nestled in the heart of the Périgord Vert, Camping des Tourbières is a peaceful, eco-responsible campsite located on Route des Tourbières in Vendoire, Dordogne. Set between the Dordogne and Charente departments, the campsite is positioned close to the protected Vendoire peat bogs, a remarkable natural site known for its biodiversity. The setting is quiet, green and intentionally simple — designed for travellers who value authenticity, freedom and connection to nature rather than large-scale resort infrastructure.

The campsite offers traditional camping pitches suitable for tents, caravans, motorhomes and campervans. Pitches are arranged within a natural environment, allowing guests to enjoy space and tranquillity. Sanitary facilities are available on site, providing essential comfort for camping stays. The atmosphere is deliberately calm and human-scale, making it ideal for couples, families and small groups seeking a slower rhythm of holiday.

As an eco-conscious campsite, the focus is on preserving the surrounding environment. The location encourages outdoor living: morning coffee in the open air, evenings under the stars, and days spent exploring forests, rivers and countryside trails. This is a place to disconnect from busy routines and reconnect with nature.

If you are searching for a campsite in Dordogne with motorhome pitches in a preserved natural setting, Camping des Tourbières offers a refreshing alternative to crowded holiday parks — a genuine green retreat where simplicity becomes a luxury.

Camping des Tourbières is ideally located for discovering some of the most beautiful villages in southwest France. The campsite sits just outside the small village of Vendoire, where you can explore the nearby peat bog nature reserve on foot.

The charming town of Brantôme — often called the “Venice of Périgord” — is approximately 30 km away (around 35–40 minutes by car). Here you’ll find riverside restaurants, cafés, small boutiques and the historic Benedictine abbey carved into the rock.

The picturesque village of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, officially listed among France’s most beautiful villages, is around 20 km away (about 25 minutes by car). It offers restaurants, bars, artisan shops and a small riverside beach area along the Dronne River during the summer season.

For daily essentials, small local shops and bakeries can be found within a short drive in nearby villages (approximately 10–15 minutes). Larger supermarkets are accessible within 20–30 minutes by car in surrounding towns.

Whether you enjoy hiking, cycling, heritage exploration or simply long countryside drives, the area around the campsite invites you to slow down and experience the authentic rhythm of rural Dordogne and Charente.
