We had a one night stay at this campsite as part of an extensive tour of France and it was definitely the best one we visited. The sanitary block was not only immaculately clean with spacious showers, but looked like it had been designed by an architect! The topiary hedges and abundant flowerbeds were more reminiscent of a stately home than a campsite, and I was privileged to meet the 88 year old lady who created the site in 1967 and has worked to make it so beautiful. Sadly we weren’t there long enough to use the pool and other facilities but fully intend to return for a full week next time.
Nothing!
Nice level pitch with electric and water overlooking the river

Bonjour Madame Godridge, It is a pleasure to read your feedback! Thank you for choosing Le Paradis as a stop on your tour of France. We were glad to read about your meeting with Fien, our founder. She still embodies the wonderful family story that began in 1967. The second generation carries on her work with the same dedication to our gardens, nature and attention to every detail. She would certainly be delighted by your comparison to a grand country estate! We are also pleased that you enjoyed the comfort of our new sanitary facilities and your pitch by the Vézère River. A single night is hardly enough time to fully enjoy Le Paradis! We hope to welcome you back for a longer stay —giving you time to enjoy the pools, stroll through our gardens, and explore the landscapes of the Périgord Noir. We wish you a wonderful rest of your journey and hope to see you again soon. The team at Le Paradis, 5-star campsite in Dordogne

Five star hotel service and amenities in a campsite. Immaculately clean and tidy.
Large pitch boarded by shrubs all overhead branches removed, easy for the motorhome, beautifully shady but with sunshine too

Best campsite I've ever stayed at. Facilities, staff, surroundings all excellent
Fitness area is pointless. Make an actual fitness area indoor or outdoors
Great
Loading
Enjoyed pool and restaurant and entertainments. Reasonably well stocked shop.
It would be great if it were possible to walk along by the river towards St Leon. The path has become quite difficult due to flooding.
Excellent shower in cottage. Good terrace.
Seat cushions in our cottage were rather soft and not very comfortable. Kitchen in our cottage was cramped and not well designed - cupboards too high and no room for more than one person to be in there.

Yet another really nice two weeks in Le Paradis. Accommodation was excellent, the staff really helpful. The site an facilities get better every year. The stronger and stable wifi was much appreciated.
Slightly disappointed not to get a free arrival drink. First time since the 1990s!
Comfortable beds, well supplied with useful kitchen equipment. Air con was very welcome at times.

Bonjour Monsieur Drake, Thank you for entrusting us with your holidays all these years! We are delighted to hear that these latest two weeks lived up to your expectations. We are also thrilled that you enjoyed the improvements made to the campsite. The traditional complimentary welcome drink has indeed evolved. We decided to focus on a more sociable experience: "Paradis’ Story." Over a welcome drink, Gé and Ellen share the history of the campsite and the projects that continue to help it grow. It is simply another way to share a drink together. We wish you a wonderful end to your holiday and hope to see you again next year. The team at Le Paradis, 5-star campsite in Dordogne

Leaving😥😥
Bonjour Sue, Twice a year we have the pleasure of seeing you return to Paradis and twice a year comes the moment of departure—a moment we would gladly put off for as long as possible! Thank you for your presence and your cheerful spirit. You also bring Paradis to life. Safe travels and see you next year ! The team at Paradis, 5-star campsite in Dordogne

We have stayed at this campsite numerous times since September 1993 when we had the Vezere lapping at out Eurocamp mobile home. It has developed for the better, particularly the maturing gardens. As superb as the campsite is, and it is one of the best we have stayed at in France, I think I still like the 1993 version. The happy hour, well be careful you don't get knocked over in the rush to the bar at 5 oclock.
None that spring to mind
Pitch P1 was excellent for us

Beautiful campsite.Great pitch and the facilities were amazing and spotless! We will be back.xx
Amazing

Welcome, environment, quiet (start of lower season!), facilities.
All ok.
Plenty of living space. Good equipment
The bed in the main bedroom is too big. My wife slept in the big bed and I slept next door on a small single bed. Not good for a holiday. There is not room to move on either side of the bed, only 1 person can get out of the side of the bed.

Pitches were a good size and private with hedging between. The pool area was great and facilities spotlessly cleaned.
Some more choice on the menu at dinner and lunch would have been great. Crepes or more patisserie choices mid morning perhaps would have added more opportunities to spend time and money in the bar area. Shop was basic, more fresh produce and salad would be great too.
Excellent choice of pitches with partial shade. We chose a pitch away from the pool area and it was quiet at night. Short walk to the toilets and showers, and the site felt very safe and well managed.
Showers did run out of hot water at peak times but that is not unusual on a site of this size. Pitches were dry and dusty, again expected due to the high heat in earlier weeks.

Pristine site set in beautiful surroundings, fantastic pool area, lovely restaurant & bar area. The new shower & toilet block are one of the best I have used
Private & shaded
Bonjour Madame BOON, Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed the lush, green setting of Le Paradis as well as our services. We are especially pleased to hear your comments regarding our new sanitary facilities. We designed them to offer greater comfort to our guests while remaining in harmony with the spirit of the campsite. We look forward to welcoming you back for a future stay in the heart of the Vézère Valley. The team at Le Paradis, 5-star campsite in Dordogne

We really liked the location, very close to some of our family members. A 5-10 minute walk from the pool. Aircon was good. All the facilities worked. Nice decking space to sit outside.
We really didn't like the pillows. They were uncomfortable and oddly shaped. We'll be bringing our own pillows next time. We didn't sleep well at all because of this.
The same as above
Same as above
Bonjour la famille Russell, Thank you for sharing your holiday experience. We have taken note of your comment regarding the pillows and regret that they affected the quality of your sleep. Our guests' comfort is something we care deeply about. We are delighted by your mention of "next time" and hope to welcome you back to Paradis for another family stay.

Friendly staff and an immaculately kept campsite
Compostable “plastic” bags rather than the paper ones which disintegrate on the way to the compost bin
Spacious
Can get cool during the night but the heater provided raises the temperature sufficiently

Again we had the most relaxing stay at Le Paradis. As soon as you walk into reception to check on you receive a welcome line you are family. All staff on the site are so friendly and welcoming and the site is so well maintained and looked after. The walks along the river, through the fields and visiting the villages close by are a must. already booked to return again in 2027. Many thanks to everyone involved in running Le Paradis, Steve and Sue
Nothing, everything is absolutely perfect.
Very spacious and peaceful and was in such a quiet secluded part of the site.

Cleanliness of facilities and pool areas, flowers and plants, restaurant, happy hour!
Large size pitch,
A little too shady

Eco friendly site with good facilities. Very good for families with children towards the end of the season. Restaurant and bar and occasional entertainment we’ve visited four times.
Still find turning in and out towing a caravan tricky, the vegetation could do with trimming back.
The size - perfect for our car, caravan and awning
It was incredibly uneven and took ages to level our unit
