Sehr schöner Platz, 18+ und sehr ruhig. Die Sanitäranlagen Anlagen sind sauber aber könnten mal überholt werden. Sonst ist der Service top.

My family and I stayed here for 2 weeks in August 2023. We rented a pitch for our own tent.

The owners of this Adult-Only camping are easily the most friendly and good-spirited people I've met. They are honest, hard-working, kind and very welcoming. They will do their best to accommodate any situation you might bring up. They even helped me with some car engine trouble I unexpectedly encountered. They try to know all their guests on a first-name basis, and they will learn your preferences. Every guest is treated with a very personal approach.

The camping itself has beautiful large pitches, sun and shade spots available, it is extremely quiet and well kept. Perfect for relaxing. There's green forest and grassy hills all around. Unfortunately, that also means a lot of flying insects, but that's part of nature. Best to pack a mosquito/bug spray and you'll be fine.

The owners also organized a BBQ event with a band one evening, which was a fun activity with a lot of atmosphere.

The owners foresee breakfast items that can be ordered and purchased in the mornings (bread, pastries...).
They also sell bottles of wine at the reception. A bar is opened during the day and evening which sells drinks and cocktails. The restaurant is opened in the evenings and serves home-made fresh food made by the owners themselves using locale produce and meat. Guests can choose which meal they wish of a menu. Pizza's are also available for take-away.

The closest other restaurants are approximately 5km (Campagnac du Causse in Montfaucon) 10km and 15km away. The closest large supermarket would be 10-12 km in Gramat.

Close sightseeing activities would be the town Sarlat de Canada (+-30 km but worth the drive), Cahors, Rocamadour (+-16km, Gramat and many caves like Pech Merle.

Some other reviews mention that the toilet/showers are too far away. It is true that some pitches are far away, but seeing how you get to choose and negotiate your pitch location, you can limit the distance according to your preference. For us it was a 2 or 3 minute walk. I did not mind.

The camping also has a pool with seating around it and umbrellas for shade. There are also nice flower decorations here and there.

A great experience and vacation!

Hele mooie camping. Sinds 2010 alleen voor volwassenen (18+). Geen familie camping dus
Mooi zwembad en een goed terras met koude biertjes en een goede keuken.
Kies een plek tussen plaatsen 30 en 40 vanwege de afstand tot het toilet en doucheblok

Een hele rustige camping in een prachtige groene omgeving. Mooie dorpen en stadjes zijn niet ver rijden.
Vriendelijke eigenaar die uitgebreid verteld welke bezienswaardigheden je kunt bezoeken . In het restaurant kan je heel lekker eten. Zelden zo'n lekkete pizza gegeten.
Het sanitair is ietwat gedateerd maar schoon. Net als het zwembad.
Wifi is alleen op het terras bij de receptie en het ontvangst op de zeer ruime plekken is niet zo goed. Dat is jammer.

Wij zijn een weekje te gast geweest op deze prachtige adults only camping. Werden vriendelijk ontvangen door Stuart en Sheila en voelden ons zeer welkom.
Rustige camping, ruime plekken, schoon sanitair, heerlijk zwembad met ligbedden en parasols. Gelegen in de mooie natuur, ‘s nachts hoor je de uilen.
Prima gegeten in het restaurant.
Complimenten aan de eigenaren!
Bedankt! Benno en Jeannette.

Quiet, adult only and In the middle of the countryside. Seemed especially quiet this week. Large pitches with water and electricity. Clean bathrooms and hot water - sometimes have to push several times before it’s hot enough. Bread can be ordered night before. Bar/restaurant area is only place you can use wifi. No 3G connection on the site at all which did not suit us but may not be a problem to others. Pool has new loungers and parasols. Great for exploring the dordogne area.

We visited this site back in 2016 without a car and wanted to see a few things in the area so came back when we had one. Follow the dictions on the website. The highlight of our many trips out were the Caves at Padriac. Stuart and Sheila are great hosts making you feel really welcome. The site is in a great position for total relaxation, peace and quiet. The pitches are all a great size. The pool is big and the washrooms are spotless although we mainly used the facilities in our motorhome. We had a curry in the restaurant one night and there was a jazz band playing. The food was excellent and a good price and the band weren’t bad either! As the site is set in a forest if you want satellite reception you may be disappointed on some pitches. We had a BIG dish and managed to get reception as we are saddos that have to get our fix of Rugby League, Formula 1 Etc. Phone reception and internet is patchy but didn’t worry us at all. To get any shopping you need to go to Grammat which is about 10 miles away. There’s a LIDL and a big E L’Clerc. Now onto some small recommendations. The pitches and general areas could do with more regular mowing as when we turned up some hadn’t been done for a while and were looking overgrown. To be fair to Stuart, he told us to pick a pitch and if it needed mowing he would come and do it. I just think it would improve the impression of the site if it was done more regularly. The pool does need a bit of TLC to bring it back to the standard we remembered when we last visited. There were tons of flies around our pitch! Nothing anyone can do about this but there were loads! We really enjoyed our stay.

This is our third time at Chateau Lacomte, previous visits were over 10 years ago, from UK, with a caravan. This time we were touring Europe from NZ and stayed in the gite attached to the chateau with family who joined us from UK. We also stayed in our caravan either end of our fortnight and Stuart allowed us to store the caravan on site. We found Stuart and Sheila helpful and very friendly throughout our visit.
The gite has a large sitting room, dining kitchen ,two bedrooms, a bath/shower room and a downstairs toilet. It has been sympathetically converted, with exposed beams and wooden floors. The rooms are large, clean with good quality furniture. There was also a TV with internet access (we used our Netflix subscription) a microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and fridge freezer. Both large beds were very comfortable and the bedding great quality. The shower in the bathroom has great water pressure. There was outdoor furniture and sun beds and BBQ in the back garden allowing privacy from the terrace and other guests. We loved our stay and thought it was great value.
The swimming pool, a short walk from the gite, was clean, tested daily by Stuart and inspected monthly by local council.
We dined at the restaurant on many occasions and the food and wine was excellent. Stuart bakes baguettes, croissants, pan au chocolad and pain au raisin for morning collection, highly recommended.
Together with British, Dutch and French guests, we enjoyed a couple of hilarious quiz nights on the terrace!
We visited Cahors and Rocamadour and got tickets to a musical event at the Cahors Blues Festival. We recommend the caves at Gouffre de Padarac and the river cruise/walk between Bouzies and St Cirque Lapopie. I also cycled a few road loops from the campsite.
The facilities, both camping and in and around the gite were very good. Lacomte is about having a relaxing time. Some of it is old, but that’s part of the attraction. Pitches have privacy, separated by hedges.
We can highly recommend spending time here. It is a peaceful oasis and a great place to relax. We will be back for a fourth visit next time we are over from NZ.

We stayed at this so called Country Club in June of this year.

Our report contained valid criticisms of the site and the owner.
Unfortunately he is so defensive he tells untruths and exaggerates situations to suit his own purposes as you can see in his vitriolic reply. All too common I’m afraid in his replies to others, who dare to criticise.
To suggest you use the pole end of a squeegee to turn on the shower is both ludicrous and laughable, well worthy of a ‘Faulty Towers’ sketch.

It is not just us who think his descriptions, comments and demeanour lack professionalism, here are a few quotes from previous visitors.

“Stayed here in June 2019, was looking forward to a nice relaxing chill out. Site was very unkempt, swimming pool filthy, needs a good makeover before it can claim 4 stars again. French version of Fawlty Towers springs to mind.”

“Stuart who was very knowledgeable of the area & amenable till he complained about a family member in another outfit who had arrived shortly before us, I ignored the sarcasm & said I wasn't the same person.”

“Interesting that site was only 25% occupied and every guest was a Brit?
We felt that we had been " had over" by the booking system, the surcharge for paying by credit card, the filthy car, the description of the shower/ toilet facilities.”

“The owner is not welcoming, in fact the night we arrived we felt like we were inconveniencing him.I felt we had met the original Basil Fawlty!
The site is very dated and is need of a lot of TLC.”

“This is a very peaceful, relaxing place. However it is very tired. Needs a lot of work to bring it up to a reasonable standard. Loose paving around pool and on wall tops. Piles of rubble left around. Green algae in swimming pool. toilet facilities tired. Smell of drains around facilities and on bar terrace. Reading other comments, particularly about the 'crisp' incident, I can only say nothing has changed. Penny pinching seems to be common.”

Replying with Respect & Understanding. You have to stop targeting us with your deep rooted anger by placing vindictive & untrue reviews. Sadly your Wife’s dementia ruined many people’s holiday whilst you were here, not just your own. You chose to leave because of this, we did not ask you to leave. We received many complaints about her constant screaming, your dog that never stopped barking and yourself who just never stopped shouting at them to be quiet. We had guests that left, and guests that on looking around the camping chose not to stay as your wife was screaming. But we understood your dilemma and did not complain or ask you to leave. Instead we ourselves lost business. Your comments are spiteful & we are glad we will never see you here again. 1: So called Country Club: In France Adult Only was illegal in 2010 & we were not permitted to use the word camping. 2: The shower block is kept impeccably clean, it has everything required for a 4* campsite. Are they super luxurious with piped music ? No ! 3: Cold Water: Guests are informed that if they are the first one to use the shower block in the morning, they must take the long handle provided and press the button a few times before they go in and shower. It is a large shower block, the water laying over night in the pipe work has to be used, before the hot water gets through. 4: The shower cubicles are produced for campsites & ours are the same as many other campsites. 5:Pool: Yes we had to part empty the pool to repair some tiles. This was carried out during bad weather. It was full, clean & ready for the good weather. Upgrading: ?? It is a beautiful pool that holds water. If it was filthy you would not have swam in it! The water is tested each day according to legal requirements. 6: Sloping Pitches: They are not concrete pitches so not spirit level flat but neither are they badly sloping. If it rains we our site does not flood. There is no ground that gave way under a caravan or Motorhome. People moved pitch to be further away from the constant noise from Mr Law’s pitch. 7: Restaurant: A 3 course “Plat du Jour” was available everyday, and no one told him that he had to let us know the day before. The full menu was available before he left. 8: Campsite Charges: As listed on our website, so costs were known. A fee is charged for the use of a Credit Card, whether it be a Euro card or not when paying for your stay. Our prices remain the same since Brexit, bank charges have not. 9: A Couple arrived in a Motorhome. Yes, this couple did leave early because of Mr Law’s shouting, his wife’s screaming & their barking dog. We refunded the amount to him as they said their holiday was being ruined. 10: The Owner: My Husband could not have been more helpful to Mr Law, ensuring that everything was arranged at the vets for him. Infact we were both very attentive to his needs. We felt so sorry for him & his wife. Unfortunately when you run a business you meet people who are just simply unpleasant, vindictive & spiteful. My Husband that talks about guests behind their backs: if he has something to say, he says it to them. It sounds like it was Mr Law running my Husband down with other guests. 11: Campsite: Mr Law is totally wrong with his assumption that our Campsite has been up for sale for several years. We never told him that, only we know our business, not guests ! We feel it is Mr Law who has shortcomings, he is a very sad & nasty person; we are so pleased that we will never see him here again.12: Bookings: Yes, like most businesses in tourism bookings are down; we endured Brexit, two years of Covid then the war. Obviously a little beyond Mr Law’s comprehension. We did not ask Mr Law to leave, he chose to. Our terms and conditions state, that should you choose to shorten your holiday & leave for whatever reason, a refund will not be made. Wishing you well in your difficult circumstances

Als Übernachtung für eine Nacht gefunden und begeistert! Sehr schön terassenförmig angelegter Platz, Wasser und Strom an jedem Stellplatz und in unserem Fall gaaaanz viel Platz!!! Der Platz war geschlossen, wir dürfen trotzdem bleiben und hatten alles für uns allein! Deshalb können wir auch das Restaurant nicht beurteilen. Wer Erholung und Ruhe sucht ist hier richtig, sicher auch bei geöffneten Platz. Danke nochmals an die Betreiber!

Veel pluspunten, maar ook zeker wat verbeterpunten!
Eigenaren zijn top, erg lief en behulpzaam. Leuk om ze te leren kennen en de verhalen te horen over hoe ze zijn begonnen.
Alles goed schoon en prima zwembad.
Het restaurant is geweldig! Ze maken alles zelf en vers, de entrecôte is zeker het proberen waard. Heel goed!!
Sommige dingen kan meer aandacht aan worden besteed. Er wordt op de site bijvoorbeeld vermeld dat er een sauna aanwezig is en op woensdagavond muziek, dit is helaas niet zo. Wel een tennisbaan beschikbaar. Verder een paar kleine dingetjes, die aan vervanging of reparatie toe zijn. Maar ik snap dat na zoveel jaar een camping te runnen en eigenlijk al met pensioen te willen, dit niet op hun lijstje staat.
Ook is de camping zeer prijzig, je betaald echt voor de ‘adult’. Dit geeft rust en is fijn, maar er worden intussen ook kosten in rekening gebracht voor bijvoorbeeld water van de bar of iets in te vriezen. Je verwacht dat dit niet zo is en dat bij zo’n zeer prijzige camping meer faciliteiten worden aangeboden.
Verder moet je een eindje rijden om dingen te zien, het ligt nog al afgelegen. Dichtstbijzijndste supermarkt is al gauw 25 min rijden en er is geen winkeltje op de camping. Wel erg mooie stadjes om te bezoeken op een uurtje rijden, aan te raden zijn Saint-Cirq de Lapopie en Rocamadour!
Na een week hadden wij het op de camping wel gezien, niet veel gaande, dus echt voor de rust!

"Château " de Lacomté !!!
Comment le définir sans tomber dans l'excès?
D'abord il n'y a pas de château qui reste une vue de l'esprit.
L'accès: c'est simple: au milieu de rien !
On trouve un bâtiment traditionnel regroupant les "services", accueil-cuisine- bar (quand il et ouvert).
Une terrasse ombragée de parasols et The piscine à ses pieds.
J'y reviendrai.

Les bungalows:
je les qualifierai de même pas minimalistes mais "zéromalistes".
Le nul absolu !
2 "chambres" dans lesquelles il n'est absolument pas possible de se déplacer moi qui souffre de plusieurs handicaps Je devais ramper sur le lit pour accéder à la petite fenêtre et la penderie d'1 mètre de large !
Le living ou du moins ce qui en tient lieu. Sans télévision, sans aucun accès internet, et pire encore par les extrêmes chaleurs (32/35° en moyenne) sans aucune ventilation.
Résultat: entre 40 et 50° en PM. : Impossible donc de simplement "siester" par de telles chaleurs. il ne commençait à faire acceptable que vers 0900Pm.
Par contre, froid à compter de 0200Am !

Question propreté, ma compagne a dû tout renettoyer à commencer par le mini frigo certainement pas entretenu depuis des lustres. Les chambres comme le reste étaient plus proches du sale que du propre !
Indigne, selon moi qui voyage depuis plus de 50 ans dans des lieux 4 et 5* principalement hôtels mais aussi quelques campings sur trois continents. Ma dernière comparaison: la Yole dans l'Hérault, un 4* !
Alors pourquoi je compare Lacomté à la Yole ?
Parce que pour 15 j'ai payé 960€ à Stuart, mais juste 880€'à la Yole (en juin 2019) pour un bungalow de 42m² avec deux chambres, 2 sdb, télévision, internet, climatiseur, draps changés tous les 5 jours, service propreté journalier sur demande et conciergerie à l'accueil prenant et organisant toutes nos sorties, service sécurité, plusieurs piscines, tobogans, etc...
En fait, Stuart fait payer cher un service minimum pour le prix d'un 4* !

La restauration.
Là encore j'ai découvert un Boss me demandant de lui signaler avant 1600PM si nos mangions et quels plats nous désirions !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahurissant ! J'ai plus de 70 ans et je n'ai jamais vu ça !
J'ai d'ailleurs demandé à Stuart pourquoi. Sa réponse pour me faciliter la vie et pour mieux gérer mes approvisionnements ! Je suis resté sans voix !
A déduire que nous avons mangé du surgelé ou à tout le moins du pré cuisiné !
A décharge, Stuart qui n'est pas cuisto, se débrouille plutôt pas mal. Enfin un point positif.

La piscine
Incontestablement le point cardinal du ressort. Deuxième point positif !

Le camping calme garanti et sans enfant.
Cà, c'est la pub parce que j'ai dû lever la voix le we dernier because les petits enfants de Stuart eux pouvaient disposer du camping à leur guise, de même d'ailleurs qu'une famille le même samedi soir.
Donc on s'autorise ses enfants là où les clients paient pour le sans enfant.
Discutable, à tout le moins même en fin de saison !

L'équipe.
Sheila, ayant dû rentrer en UK, nous a manqué. Sa joie de vivre est communicative, son humour rafraichissant.
Sue fait ce qu'elle peut en service mais son français est plus qu'approximatif. Dommage.
And now The Boss !
Stuart est une personnalité duale: on a tout à la fois envie d'âtre son ami et son opposant.
J'admets qu'il fait ce qu'il peut, sauf que pour le prix payé, il faudrait faire beaucoup mieux !

Conclusion
Une expérience de réservation de dernière minute ayant amené ce choix.
Très, très moyen. Juste cette fois mais jamais plus.

So long, I have a long way from home !

I feel like I’m telling a really well kept secret. We did a lot of research before arriving at the site but there was so much more that compels me to write this review:
- it is located within ‘The Black Triangle’ which makes it a beautiful place to look up at the stars and moon and there are particular times of year when it is easier to see shooting stars. This area has the lowest light pollution in France which explains the visibility. We DID see a shooting star! We did spend time looking up at the sky though. Quite the contrast from London life and skyline at night.
- the number and variety of butterflies is amazing. I love butterflies! I felt like I was in heaven.
- the site is peaceful. There is stillness and a peaceful quiet. Everyone is there for this reason. Other campers were super respectful of the quiet. Met the best people!

Thank you to Stuart and Sheila ❤️

Things already said but needing reiterating: lovely fresh food (I want to recommend something but everything I tried was amazing), perfect pool area with an amazing view no matter where you sit, clean facilities and surrounded by pretty towns.

We only booked last minute, had a great 8 night stay, big pitch, very quiet. Stuart managed to get us a hire car for three days which was amazing as it allowed us to visit lots of places. We knew the site was remote before we booked. Great facilities, the food is outstanding and great value. Best adult only site we've stayed on in France.

Une endroit où réellement profiter de ses vacances pour déconnecter. idéal pour des vacances au calme ! Interdit au moins de 18ans c'est le concept et je comprends mieux le calme et la sérénité. Les propriétaires sont accueillants et disponibles. C'est super. Zen attitude nous reviendrons c'est certain.

Lovely, fantastically maintained site in beautiful surroundings. Very friendly and helpful owners and staff. We enjoyed a large, private pitch. Excellent clean facilities. We were given great advice for local walks and enjoyed cooling afternoon swims in the pool. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Nous avons passé quelques semaines au Château de Lacomté et quel plaisir de passer des vacances children-free. Quand on veut partir sans enfant ou que l'on en a pas, c'est agréable de pouvoir se reposer pleinement.
La piscine est immense et ses pourtours propres et bien entretenus, et la terrasse ombragée est agréable pour un moment de détente (lecture, wi-fi) ou un verre entre résidents.
Les soirées barbecue/concert une fois par semaine mettent l'animation.
Le camping est situé à proximité de tous les lieux touristiques, ce qui permet de tout pouvoir voir en une semaine.
