'...the best place for relaxing, exploring and splashing about on the river': so says one gratified former guest about the lush little site of Camping Ruisseau du Treil. Run by owners Cheryl and Steve, Ruisseau du Treil is a small and peaceful place within a few minutes' walk of the Lot river, among the vast landscapes of the Causses du Quercy Natural Regional Park in a tiptop spot for hiking, biking and wildlife watching. It's all under a kilometre from Larnahol, with canoeing available on the Lot and the Celé rivers, and city sightseeing at Cahors within 50 minutes' drive. There's loads of info on site about local activities as well as info and brochures on this part of south-west France, the Midi Pyrenées, nearby caves and castles or the horse riding trails within easy reach. Or just settle down to find your own pretty place here, among the site's shade of acacia, walnut, ash and oak trees, or by the ancient stone walls – perhaps with a sizeable portion of goats' cheese or a famed red wine from Cahors from the fully-licensed snack bar...? Other facilities include a pool, a paddling pool and a playground; there are books to borrow too and a TV in the bar area for indoor times. Bread and croissants can be ordered for breakfast and a small shop sells basics.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: The pool, the location and WiFi coverage. The campsite provided toilet roll, hand soap and actual toilet seats (a rarity on French campsites)!

Disliked: That pizza night was only on Monday and Friday. Pool open @10:00, 09:00 would be better

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: From our arrival to our departure the owners could not have been more welcoming. Our plot had electric, was level and large. First site I’ve been on with a pool for lane swimming as well as the shaped pool. Lovely small bar with reasonable prices and croissants etc can be booked for breakfast the night before. Toilet blocks clean Steve and Cheryl are wonderful and will do anything they can to help. Good location for visiting surrounding area.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: de omgeving en de ligging, de natuurlijke terreininrichting, de grootte van de staanplaatsen, het vermijden van lichtvervuiling, de rust en de stilte, het gezellige openluchtzwembad met zijn organische vorm en aangename ligplaats er omheen, de bar aan de receptie, de voorzieningen (wasmachine, wastafelhokjes, goede douches, een afgescheiden wc-blok, afwasplaatsen, ruimte met biljart, tafelvoetbal en gezelschapsspelen), de vlotte boeking en met de twee vriendelijke uitbaters en de service die zij leveren. Ook worden geen annuleringskosten aangerekend en dat vind ik een pluspunt.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: A wonderful site Steve and Cheryl were fabulous owners. We had site practically to ourselves so choose a pitch. Toilets showers washing machine spotless. Swimming pool perfect as was 30 degrees one of the days. Definitely stay here again x

Disliked: Out electric tripped each morning but we realised we’d brought the wrong kettle with us. Easily sorted as turned off hot water will remember in France to bring our low voltage one( first visit since 2019)

Route directions

It's best to ignore your satnav as it will take you through tiny narrow roads and villages. From the north, leave the A20 at Junction 56 and take the D802 to Figeac. On arrival at Figeac, follow directions to Cajarc and pick up the D19. On arrival at Cajarc follow the signs for Cahors and St Cirq Lapopie. Follow the road out of Cajarc, with the Lot river on your left, for 8 kilometres, and the turning for the site is on the righthand side 500 metres before the village of Larnagol.

Please note: All distances on this page are calculated "as the crow flies" - please check actual distance depending on your mode of travel using the Get directions button above.

Local attractions

Get out into the Lot valley and the Causses du Quercy Natural Regional Park with ease from here, among ancient villages, old manor houses, megalithic dolmens and peaceful green countryside. Bikes are available to hire on site. One famed local village on the must-see list is Saint Cirq Lapopie (15 minutes' drive), in spectacular setting over the Lot river. Take the main road down the hill first for splendid views of the village and the remains of its three ancient fortresses, then make your way into the town centre to see its medieval half-timbered houses and teeny terraced gardens. Even more anciently, the famed grotto at Pech Merle (25 minutes) is home to prehistoric cave paintings on over a kilometre and a half of cavern, and is one of the few sites of its kind in France still open to the general public. Take a guided tour to see the paintings and the cave's stalactites and stalagmites; the site's prehistory museum has info and exhibits on these as well as the prehistory of the Quercy region. More? Figeac is 35 minutes' drive from the site and Rocamadour within an hour and 10 minutes. If this is all a tad too cultural for the kids, the Youpi adventure park at Cahors is 50 minutes' drive away.
