La Plage, Riverside campsite in Vézac, France
La Plage is a campground stretched along the Dordogne River with spaces for tents, caravans, and mobile homes, positioned near Marqueyssac gardens. The site includes a swimming pool and facilities that guests can use throughout their stay.
The location began as a stopping point for travelers heading to see medieval castles scattered across the Périgord region. As tourism grew in the Dordogne Valley, this place became an established base for visitors exploring the area.
The site sits in an area where locals shop at weekly markets and cook with ingredients from the surrounding Dordogne region. You can walk through villages and see how people here live by the river's seasonal changes.
The site is normally open from March through October with several accommodation types to choose from. Peak season brings more people, so arriving early in the day or during shoulder months helps you find quieter times.
A shallow pebble beach right next to the grounds lets guests swim and fish in the river while watching hot air balloons drift overhead across the valley. This unusual pairing of water activities and aerial sightings gives each day an unexpected element of surprise.
