Beautiful site, but noisy.
Le Port de Limeuil
We stayed here during the peak weeks in August. This site is stunningly beautiful. The location next to the Dordogne and opposite the small village of Limeuil is divine. The site itself is very well maintained and the owners obviously take great pride in their site.
We have stayed here before and had a relaxing holiday. This time we did not! The pitch we were allocated was at least 90% sandy dirt with barely a blade of grass to be seen. It became impossible to keep the awning or caravan free of this dirt as it just blew everywhere. The owner did inform us that they reseed it every year, but really it just needs to be made into a hard standing. The pitch was opposite the toilets, so there was constant noise from people coming and going which is to be expected, but maybe not the teens who decided to ride their bikes through the facilities yelling at the tops if their voices late at night! As the chemical disposal point was also there we were in receipt of some ‘aromas’ if the breeze was in the wrong direction. Our pitch had a lovely view of the horses field, but also unfortunately the (immaculately kept) sorts field. As it was high season there were many large groups of teenagers who largely congregated on the field of an evening to play sports ( which is lovely) but who then stayed til after 2.00am. We heard them told to go to bed at 1.00am but many just went back and continued the noise.
Our advice would be, firstly avoid high season, unless you wish for a site full of teenagers living their best lives! and secondly do make clear when you book what sort of pitch you would like. There are many grassy pitches, away from the noise . We really wish we had been more specific when we booked and could have avoided the very short straw pitch that we received.
