Frequently asked questions
Camping on a naturist campsite sometimes raises questions. If you still have questions after reading this page, you can always contact us.
Do you have to be a member of a naturist association?
No, membership isn’t obligatory. Everybody is welcome on Le Couderc and we will welcome you with a refreshing drink!
Is a man alone accepted on the campsite?
Everybody is welcome on Le Couderc, as long as you respect nature, your fellow citizens and the naturist values.
How do you handle teenagers that have problems being naked?
We understand the stages of puberty. We condone the fact they wear towels or sarongs. Still, we try to motivate the youth to be naked. However, around and in the swimming pool, we ask them to be completely naked.
Is it necessary to reserve a pitch?
If you would like to come in July or August, it’s necessary to book on time, especially when you have a pitch preference. In low season it is not necessary to reserve, except in June and September if you prefer a certain pitch.
Are pets allowed on Le Couderc?
Pets are allowed on the campsite and in accomodations, provided that they are on a leash. Dogs can swim in the second lake on the family meadow. You can walk your dog on the large field near the entrance of the campsite. Please always have a plastic bag with you pick up his droppings.

Yes. We do rent fridges. Please add this in your cart when you make the booking. You can also rent cooling elements and frozen bottles water in the shop.
Is it possible to store my caravan on your site?

How close is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket you will find in Beaumont, a village 10 minutes driving from Le Couderc. In Bergerac, the nearest city, 25 minutes away from the campsite, you will find a much larger supermarket (Leclerc) and a lot of other shops.

Free WIFI is available on the entire campsite.
Can I pay with a credit card?
You can pay with your credit card or cash. There are cash machines in Issigeac (8km) and Beaumont (7km).
Is my pitch large enough for my tent/caravan?
All pitches have a minimum size of 120 m² and are not surrounded by bushes. If you have a very large caravan of more than nine meters, it is good to let us know when you make the booking, so that we will be able to search a pitch for you where turning the caravan doesn’t give any problems.
Can I place my car next to my caravan?
Cars need to be placed on the parking lot during the entire season. A car-free site ensures more peace and quiet, a better view and even more space! Dropping off groceries at the tent is of course possible and for guests with physical disabilities an exception can be made in consultation.
What are the facilities for physically disabled people?
We have two wheelchair-adapted chalets: La Biche on the flower meadow and La Rainette on the podium meadow. In each sanitary building there is an adapted toilet and bathroom. All facilities in the central area are accessible for people in a wheelchair, including an adapted toilet. There is also one safaritent with a ramp for wheelchairs and several pitches are prioritized for people in a wheelchair.

The distance from the lake in the valley to the central area is 300 m in a beeline. It is a 5 to 10 minutes walk.
What is the height difference between the valley and the central part?
There is a 10 to 20 meter height difference. If you prefer not to stay in the valley, please add it as remark when you make your booking.

All lost objects are generally brought to the reception when found.
