Holland gives campsite Le Grand Dague a high rating

 

Campsite Le Grande Dague in the French Dordogne region has been awarded a high rating of 8.5 by the national Dutch tourists organisation ANWB. This result was due to recent upgrade of the campsite facilities.

Ambitious renovation
The campsite was purchased in 2008 by the Iris Parc organisation, which is part of the Vacansoleil group. An ambitious renovation project was put in place by the end of that year in order to transform it into a top class family campsite. Le Grand Dague now meets all the required high standards that are expected by Iris Parc.  The Dutch ANWB tourist organisation has awarded the campsite an outstanding high rating as a result.   

New facilities
All facilities have been renewed, including the construction of a new covered children's playground.  In addition, there is a large shallow lagoon-style pool with a huge pirate ship.  Facilities such as the large swimming pool, sanitary building and restaurant are all new.  Other facilities at the campsite have been modernised such as the shop, TV room, table tennis, mini-golf, jeu de boules track and Wi-Fi. A new waterslide is planned for the start of the 2010 summer season.

Child friendly
Due to the campsite's central parking facility there are no vehicles on the campsite, making Le Grand Dague a safe and child-friendly campsite.   In addition, multi-lingual staff are present in high season. The entertainment is provided by the free Camping Kids programme, which offers professional entertainment for all ages.

Wide choice
Le Grand Dague is situated in a forested area, close to the village of Atur and only 6km from Périgueux, the historic capital city of the Dordogne region. The campsite now has 242 spacious pitches. Guests can use all the facilities and bring their own tent, camper or caravan but the campsite also offers rental of luxury mobile home with 2 or 3 bedrooms with their own shower and toilet and family tents for up to 6 people.
