Camping Le Paradis

About

Camping Le Paradis is a 5‑star family‑friendly campsite nestled in the lush Vézère valley, mere kilometres from historic towns such as Saint‑Léon‑sur‑Vézère, Sarlat and the legendary Lascaux caves. Covering 7 hectares, the grounds combine manicured gardens, bamboo groves and picnic areas that offer a tranquil “little Versailles” escape right in the campsite. A private riverbank provides immediate access to the Vézère for canoeing, fishing and gentle walks, while surrounding woods invite hiking and cycling adventures. Guests enjoy a full range of amenities: a heated indoor pool with sauna, hammam and Jacuzzi that operate year‑round, two outdoor pools (one heated in the low season), a splash pad for children and a spa‑style wellness area. On‑site dining showcases local Périgord cuisine, a bar hosts daily happy hour, and a well‑stocked grocery shop caters to every need. Run by the Kusters family since 1967, Le Paradis blends traditional hospitality with modern eco‑friendly practices. Holding the European Green Label since 2012, the Clef Verte label since 1999, and the Eco‑Tourism certificate in the Vézère Valley, the campsite commits to a sustainable living philosophy. Solar panels power laundry, electric maintenance vehicles are used, locally sourced produce feeds the restaurant, and no pesticides or herbicides are used in garden upkeep. Wildlife is welcomed, with over 150 plant species and numerous small animals thriving. A free‑to‑visit campsite that offers family‑friendly activities, nature‑based learning, and a respectful stewardship of the natural environment.
