Why stay here ...

This enchanting site is run by a British family, for whom nothing is too much trouble. The site itself is verdant and tranquil, with a pretty trout lake and a restored mill house. 

A tranquil site with a heated swimming pool and a small bar and restaurant serving delicious home cooked food. 

There are many bastide towns and fortified villages in the surrounding area, with Agen in particular being worth a visit, and the Saturday market at Nerac is one of the best around. As keen walkers and cyclists themselves, owners Sue and George will suggest some scenic routes through the forest that borders the site, where visitors might spot deer and boar.

Visit May 2020

Moulin de Campech

Moulin de Campech We (2 persons and 1 dog) stayed for 7 nights in May 2022. The site is small and well shaded with surrounding woodland. Much bird life. We took advantage of the on site restaurant. The food was good and not too expensive. Dog walking around the site was fine. A nice walk at the side of the lake. There was plenty of space due to it being early in the season. Very little walking from the site, apart from some quiet roads. We did a trip to Lac de Clarens at Castelijoux. Nice walk around the lake and some man made beaches. The dog enjoyed the water but there are restrictions on dogs in July and August. Big supermarket at Castelijoux We also paid a visit to Castelmoron Sur Lot and enjoyed a Riverside picnic on the beach opposite the town The camping site has a lot of stopovers. Mostly 1 or 2 nights on the journey. I would use the site again for a short stay to break a journey but not much nearby. You need either 2 or 4 wheels to explore

Comment from the Campsite:

Many thanks for taking the time to review your visit to our campsite in May 2022, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. There are many longer walks along forest trails, as well as the shorter walks on the quiet lanes. Due to the convenient location of the campsite, we are in a good place for stop overs, but we are also a very good base for longer stays – we generally have a good mix of both

A beautiful site

Moulin de Campech
We stayed here for 5 nights in July 2020. A lovely friendly and quiet site. The owners are lovely and very accommodating. The facilities whilst a little old are immaculate. The on site restaurant is great value and the food first class. The Trout is a particular highlight. Well worth a stay if you are in that neck of the woods.

An absolutely splendid site! We found it by accident nearly 20 years ago and have returned every year since. The tranquil atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and visitors always receive a warm welcome. There is a heated pool which gets sun all day long. Below the pool is reception and the excellent bar/restaurant where delicious home-cooked meals are available. Pitches are large, with most separated by small hedges. Toilet facilities are somewhat elderly, but kept spotlessly clean. New disabled toilet facilities are a recent addition. The surrounding area is pretty and has several small villages and bastides. Visitors are loaned a comprehensive folder giving much information on the local area. The nearest town, Casteljaloux is well worth exploring. An ideal spot for a thoroughly peaceful and relaxing holiday!

An enchanting site.

Moulin de Campech
This is the third time we have been to Moulin de Campech, the last being 9 years ago and as we entered the site my wife exclaimed wonderful it hasn't changed. It hasn't apart from from subtle bits of upgrading.. The restaurant is as good value as ever, make sure you book in high season. The pitches are large and the trees almost fairy tale. The owners go to enormous trouble to look after guests and they are a mine of useful information about the area. We will undoubtedly return not leaving it nine years this time.

Great Atmosphere

Moulin de Campech
Make sure you print out the directions before travel, as we came from the south we had a few problems as we left it up to the satnav!! It is just off the A11. Great site - it has it all. Peaceful yet has restaurant/bar - after 6 weeks away this was a beautiful little piece of England in France. Wednesday nights they have fish and chips followed by a quiz night, which the locals apparently love too. The restaurant food was amazing, for 18 euros you could have soup, starter, main (with chips/potatoes and salad/vegetables), desert or cheese, coffee and a 1/4 litre of wine. Pool and fishing lake too. Great atmosphere the minute you entered, so much so we really wish we hadn't pre-booked our next site! Our only problem was only booking one night!
