    Dear Camper
    We, Doris and Stefan, would like to thank you for your interest in our campsite.
    Camping Maisonneuve is a small, family-run campsite. It’s quietly situated on 10 ha in the natural surroundings of the Green Périgord.
    The campsite has 43 pitches, swimming pool, bar/restaurant, a 4 star shower bloc and a fishing pond.


                        

The items we mention are just a few of the things there are to do around in the Dordogne. On your arrival you only have to ask and we can supply lots of information leaflets and even books all in the English language
.The campsite is situated just on the outskirts of the quiant village of St. Jory de Chalais, just 4 kms off theN21 main road and well within an easy walking distance. Here you will find the local butcher, Mr. Deleron,who is a master at home made regional products,noted for miles around.Jean Jaques, is the local baker and there is a village "supermarket", where you can buy nearly everthing.
The campsite is an ideal start point for day trips and tours. You will find suggestions for these at the end of this site.      
 Fancy something else? Just ask! That's what we are here for. If you prefer why not spend the day with us on site in the peace and tranquillity, idle the time away, spotting birds rare in the U.K. or delight at the butterflies that abound.   In the evening there is no need for a taxi at our campsite, it's just 150 yards back to your caravan or tent, straight into bed and then ready for another hot summer day tomorrow.
Camping Maisonneuve is open from 1st of April to the end of October every year which gives an ideal view of  the ever changing Dordogne scenery.   
For further information and details  or to make a reservation anytime of the season, please telephone, fax 00335 53 55 10 63 or send an e-mail

Other ameneties the campsite has to offer!
Above all we point out that we very much wish to encourage the familiy atmosphere, indeed this campsite is based on family traditions and values. Over 25 acres are at your disposal, feel free to roam where you like. It is a point of ours that nobody shall remain anonymus.
       You are encouraged to join us for a drink in the bar each evening. Ask us questions,we will most likely have the answer and even if we don't we would be only to happy to find out for you. If you would like to explore the area we realise everyone has different tastes, see us!
We know the "Périgord" very well and are pleased to be of service. If on the other hand you prefere to savour the tranquillity of the campsite and spend a releaving day or two on site. Feel free! We will not get in your way!
    
We, Stefan and Doris are at your disposal any time

Children
This location is a paradise, kids can play here and in safety, let them roam around to do as they like. Let them play in the creek on the campsite boundary, fish in our pond, walk in the woods,  swim in our pool, play table football or table tennis in fact almost anything. The only thing we ask is keep an eye on them, especially near water.

Pitches
Camping Maisonneuve  is a small friendly campsite with 40 pitches/placements so as you can imaginespace is really not a problem on 25 acres of land! All pitches are at least 100 sq m and boarded by trees or shrub. Every pitch has an electrical point hook up (remember your adapter!) sixteen of which also have water connection points. The design of each pitch was made with space in mind. No pitch or placement will you ever encounter more than two neighbours unlike some where four or five is quite normal. Each morning with Camping Maisonneuve you will wake up to no road noise, no noisy neighbours, just the odd chance of crowing Cockerel!

AU CHATEAU D’EAU
  Restaurant / Bar

We would like to welcome all our guests to our restaurant "Au Chateau d'Eau", which is to be found just beside the swimming pool in an old modified barn. It's here that you will find our regional and international dishes. If it's Steak and Chips you would like or if it's a classic regional French dish or our daily changing "Plat du Jour", just try us! Fancy a Snack? We have them! “Take away?” - no problem.
Situated within "Au Chateau d'eau" our fully licensed bar caters for most Europeans tastes. Here you can purchase soft drinks for the kids, some french and german draft beers (half pint or pint) or fine other beers, all served icecold, just right for those long hot Dordogne evenings so often found in the summer.
Evenings we have satellite TV and music if you require from a large collection of CDs , videos and DVDs covering everything from the 60s Flower Power, to Rock, to Blues, to Pop. 

Pool
Measuring a generous 23 ft by 46 ft an ideal location for a long hot summers day idled away with a cool drink on the sun deck. In the evening, why not swim under the stars, it's fully illuminated  and free to all patrons. A truly unforgettable experiance.

Here, in the small commune of St. Jory de Chalais we are situated in the most beautiful countryside. Within a radius of just a few miles newly signposted pathways have been designed especilally for this purpose, covering walks from five to twenty miles. Superb walks! How else can you get a better understanding of the history surrounding this fabulous area.

Cycling
Again as with the above, tracks have been designed for mountain bikers. These will really test your endurance if you wish. On the other hand you can take a less strenuous ride on one of the more simple ones if you require.

Fishing at the campsite
On site we have a small pond ideally suited for two or three people. The pond was stocked full of Roach,Perch, Tench and Carp with the beginner in mind. Plenty of fish, plenty to catch.
