  • Family site on 47 hectares of gardens and woodlands
  • Within 20 minutes of Limoges and a lakeside beach
  • Pool, volleyball, fishing, games room, play area and restaurant
Well now, this is really rather pretty. Camping du Château de Leychoisier is a green and peaceful place set on 47 hectares of gardens and woodlands, around a medieval fortress shaded by centenarian lime trees and sequoias… and close to more pretty sights in Limoges, a French Town of Art and History, 15 kilometres away. Walks, mountain biking and quad trails are all available nearby, and it’s about 20 minutes’ drive from here to the sandy beach and nearby sailing centre of Lac Saint-Pardoux. Fittingly as there’s so much space, a good variety of leisure facilities are on site to keep all occupied in these scenic surroundings: the outdoor pool is open throughout the season unless the weather is unmannerly; there’s a volleyball court at your disposal as well; and a pétanque court is on site too (this last is a team fave, so do give it a go while here). Not quite enough for you? Miniature golf, ping pong, fishing, a play area and a games room are also around to entertain your regal selves, along with plentiful amenities including showers and toilets, a washing-up area, a launderette and a parent and baby washroom. There’s a shop selling groceries and local produce, but you may prefer to glide grandly towards the site restaurant for your eats and drinks instead; having one’s dinner made for one is much more fitting for a French château stay…

Fully-serviced grass touring pitch

Liked: Woodland setting. Plenty of hot water in showers.

Disliked: Stuck in woodland setting as gates locked at 19.00 so you can't get to local bars and restaurants. Pool slightly cloudy, first time ever in France or Spain. Showers need updating with proper lighting. No escape route marked/lit or night lighting.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The surrounding area, the facilities and location. We had a woodland pitch so shady and full of wildlife. The sanitary block was clean and well kept, the walk up was lovely. The grounds well kept and the play area fir the children looked lovely. On-site restaurant and bar was a bonus. Close to the motorway so not too far off our route. Warmly greeted even at our parish arrival (7pm), the chap was lovely and welcoming.

Disliked: Only the lighting……. There are no lights leading to the sanitary block, so we stumbled about a bit using our phone torches. But this is a minor problem in a gorgeous setting.

Fully-serviced grass touring pitch

Liked: Loved this peaceful site with a beautiful castle, also had a lovely meal in the restaurant

Disliked: Toilets and showers a little tired but really fine. The only thing I really didn’t like was when I showered my mum in the accessible toilet there was a very strong smell of cigarette smoke - I presume someone was smoking in the room next door, it was really horrible in the confined space

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: This is a beautiful quant campsite. The pool is nice. There's a restaurant on site for dinner

Disliked: The is no lake at the campsite. We chose this campsite so my son could fish. We were robbed during the night. Our tent was slashed with a knife and our mountain bike was robbed. Many other campers were robbed too. Campervans, caravans and tents were burgled. The police arrived the next day and took statements. We were lucky because some campers found our bike in the next village and returned it to the campsite. Others were not so lucky. Dinner at the restaurant took2 and half hours to be served. Not ideal with kids but the ambience was nice so I didn't mind waiting.

Local attractions

It’s less than 20 minutes’ drive from here to the famed porcelain city of Limoges, known for its fine ceramics as well as its 10th-century Crypt of Saint Martial, the 13th-century cathedral and the botanical gardens. If you think the kids might manage it, the city’s fine arts museum in the 18th-century bishops' palace is also a top spot to stop off at. Several other villages in the region are well worth a look: try St Léonard de Noblat, 35 minutes’ drive away, Mortemart and Montrol Sénard (both 45 minutes), and the settlement of Oradour-sur-Glane, destroyed during a massacre in World War II and subsequently rebuilt on the orders of C la Gaulle. A museum and monument are here to mark the event. Drive about 25 minutes from your château site to reach another castle at Parc du Reynou, home to a wildlife park housing hundreds of animals from around 130 species, including panthers, giraffes and the smallest monkey in the world, the pygmy ouistiti.
