Canoë Base Camp
on the banks of the dordogne
Passionate about canoeing and the Dordogne river, creators of the Compagnie Sports Nature, we have imagined a Base Camp to share with you, during a bivouac, our idea of the canoe trip.
We have chosen to set up this camp on the river’s edge, in an authentic campsite with an exceptional setting near the cliffs.
A large lodge tent to welcome you, braziers, a barbecue, some bivouac tents to sleep under the stars.

TIME FOR CAMPING
Your camp at the foot of the cliffs and by the river: a large lodge tent with a view of the river to chat, have a coffee or take shelter in case of bad weather…
On the campsite: Capacity 20 people in bivouac tents of 2 to 4 places equipped with 70*190 mattresses and pillows (undersheets provided), a collective barbecue and braziers.
Sanitary block of the campsite with showers and WC. Refreshment bar, bread to order, small grocery shop. Restaurant and snack bar 100 metres away.
On the water: Genuine canoes from the great Canadian lakes equipped with authentic wooden paddles for ideal navigation.
