Eco-responsible camping in Dordogne | La Peyrugue

Camping is above all an art of living, an idea of sharing with others and a vision of well-being in harmony with nature. This is what you will find when you come and stay at Camping La Peyrugue in our beautiful region of the Dordogne.

Our 3 star campsite is managed in an eco-responsible way. What could be more natural for the Périgord? An authentic destination where the art of living is cultivated, right in the heart of the Dordogne department, in the southwest of France.

Our green campsite is also located in a protected area, where we are committed to preserving the natural environment and biodiversity, in order to leave a healthy legacy for our children and future generations.

For several years, we have been running the eco-responsible La Peyrugue campsite with the idea of preserving nature, in order to offer you the best possible stay while respecting this beautiful and unique place for an ecotourism holiday.

Reducing the environmental impact in the Céou Valley

Zero waste for a clean and ecologically responsible campsite

Everyone agrees that it is vital to protect biodiversity. In our ecological campsite near Sarlat, we are committed to sorting more and better.

Since we took over, we have made continuous progress in order to reduce the amount of waste on the campsite as much as possible.

We have installed baskets in each rental unit to facilitate the sorting and transport of recyclable waste, as the yellow bag will no longer be accepted.

Compost buckets for all plant material are also installed in the different accommodations. This vegetable waste can be transferred to the various compost collection points set up on the campsite, which will then be recycled on the green spaces.

The Dordogne, a leading destination for committed holidaymakerss

Our objective is to get as close as possible to zero waste. In the Dordogne, waste management is problematic.

In the Dordogne, waste is treated in landfill sites. This is contrary to today’s policy, which is to significantly reduce our impact on the environment, both in our greenhouse gas emissions, our natural resources and our biodiversity.

It is important to have a healthy and above all environmentally responsible holiday in the Dordogne!

The rubbish bins in the Dordogne!

In order to better understand the constraints of waste, a short report will be broadcast this Thursday, January 19th, 2023 evening, from 21:05 on France 2, during the program Envoyé Spécial. It is entitled “Ordures ménagères : un service public à la poubelle ?

Our actions for the environment and natural resources at our campsite in the Dordogne

We are committed to using products and materials that have no lasting environmental impact, 95% of the time.

If a solution is implemented that has an impact, we will do everything possible to reduce the negative effects and eventually seek to replace it.

In order to control and preserve natural resources, we have introduced several actions, in particular the management of water consumption, electricity, green spaces, etc.

It is obvious that these examples are not exhaustive, but we are doing our utmost to question ourselves and to constantly evolve…
