Your place of stay
Between the Dordogne Valley and the regional nature park of the Causses du Quercy, close to Rocamadour, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the famous Padirac gulf, the Ventoulou 4* campsite is located 2 steps away from major tourist sites that make the Lot proud, not to mention 6 of the most beautiful villages in France less than 20 km away!
A family site par excellence, Ventoulou 4* is labeled "Quality Tourism", "Engagé Zero Phyto" and "Tourisme Zero Déchet" for its commitment to eco-responsible tourism.
In a very wooded environment, this bubble of nature offers calm and rest, freshness at the warmest hours of summer, a beautiful address to take time for yourself but also disconnect or (re)connect with the authentic surrounding nature.
Here no chichi, but a warm welcome by an invested team that places the welfare of its holidaymakers at the heart of its priorities.
Careful services are offered throughout the season, between a quality restaurant offering local cuisine, a wellness area with a massage area and an entertainment program that will make your holiday more enjoyable.
The Ventoulou even offers our friends dogs, accompanying holidaymakers, a range of dedicated services: their own playground the Totuparc, an agility course, a guard service in July/August, adapted shower and mist, in short the "dog paradise"! The campsite has even received the 2023 prize of "camping best suited to dogs".
Between breathtaking landscapes, good table, small markets, regional festivities and ultra-comfortable accommodation, with or without "towel", the Ventoulou does not lack any assets!
