Spread across approximately 16 hectares, this family-friendly site is ideal for campers looking to escape the everyday and reconnect with nature in one of southwestern France’s most scenic regions. A gentle stream runs through the property, creating soothing natural soundscapes and a refreshing atmosphere — perfect for unwinding on hot summer days.

With 160 spacious pitches for tents, caravans, and motorhomes and around 80 quality rental accommodations ranging from mobile homes to canvas lodges, there’s a perfect stay option for every type of guest. The campsite features a large outdoor swimming pool, water play areas including slides, and a natural swimming area fed by the stream, providing a variety of aquatic fun for all ages.

Families will find no shortage of activities here: children’s playgrounds and dedicated teen activities, sports facilities such as tennis courts, boule grounds, beach volleyball areas, table tennis, and a sports field ensure active days. At night, quality entertainment like weekly live concerts and themed events adds a lively holiday flair. The brasserie-restaurant and snack bar serve homemade dishes, often featuring produce from the campsite’s own vegetable garden, and there’s also an on-site grocery/food shop and bar for relaxed meals and refreshments without leaving the grounds.

Wi-Fi is available throughout the site (paid option), and practical amenities like a laundry facility, electric vehicle charging points, and secure fenced grounds make planning your stay simple and stress-free. With its Camping Qualité and Qualité Tourisme labels, this campsite guarantees cleanliness, warm hospitality, accurate information, and environmental respect — all hallmarks of a quality stay in the Dordogne countryside.

Le Moulin de David’s location in Gaugeac-Monpazier places you within easy reach of some of the Dordogne’s most charming towns, historic sites, and natural attractions. The medieval bastide village of Monpazier — just about 3 km away — is considered one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France, with iconic arcaded squares, artisan shops, and cafés perfect for leisurely strolls and sampling local cuisine.

The surrounding region is rich with cultural and historical wealth: visit imposing castles like the Château de Biron, explore traditional bastides such as Villeréal or Beaumont, or take scenic drives to larger Dordogne towns like Bergerac, Sarlat, or Cahors. Wine lovers can explore nearby vineyards and cellars along the Bergerac wine routes, tasting local appellations and learning about the region’s viticulture traditions.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the variety of hiking, cycling, and horse-riding trails that meander through the countryside, while waterways like the Dordogne River are popular for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. For families, adventure parks, geocaching trails, and animal encounters provide fun day trips, and the lot of pre-historical attractions across the Dordogne give fascinating insights into ancient human life.

This superb combination of natural beauty, heritage towns, gastronomy, and outdoor activities means every day presents a new discovery — from slow morning breakfasts by the pool to full-day excursions into the heart of the Périgord.

Le Moulin de David typically operates throughout the warmer months, with campsites and rentals available from spring into early autumn. Reception and check-in procedures vary by season, with clear arrival and departure times designed to maintain smooth transitions between guests.
