Low-Season Savings: Using ADAC, ACSI & ANWB Cards at Le Paradis

If you want a more peaceful camping break in Dordogne without paying peak-season prices, low-season savings at Le Paradis can make your trip even more appealing. Guests staying on a pitch can benefit from a preferential rate in low season when they hold an ADAC, ACSI, Camping Key or ANWB card.

This guide explains which discount cards are accepted at Le Paradis, when low-season savings apply, and how to plan a smooth stay on one of the campsite’s fully equipped pitches. You will also find practical tips on arrival times, facilities, and the best way to organize a comfortable spring or autumn escape.

Which discount cards are accepted at Le Paradis?

At Le Paradis, holders of the following cards benefit from a preferential low-season rate on pitches:

• ADAC
• ACSI
• Camping Key
• ANWB

This is one of the simplest ways to reduce the cost of a camping holiday while still enjoying a well-equipped site in Dordogne.

Does Le Paradis accept Camping Chèques?

No. Le Paradis is not affiliated with Camping Chèques.

That means guests looking for low-season savings should use one of the accepted cards listed above: ADAC, ACSI, Camping Key or ANWB.

When do low-season discounts apply?

The preferential rate applies in the low season.

Le Paradis is open from 28 March to 25 October, and all vacation rentals and campsite services are open from March 28 to October 25, 2026. The three holiday homes are available year-round.

For campers, this makes the shoulder season especially attractive. Outside the busiest summer weeks, many travelers choose spring or autumn for a quieter atmosphere, easier trip planning, and better value.

Why choose the low season?

A low-season stay often suits guests who want:

• A calmer campsite atmosphere
• More flexibility for short breaks or touring holidays
• Good value on a pitch in Dordogne
• Easy access to on-site facilities and outdoor activities

At Le Paradis, the setting adds to that appeal. The campsite sits on the banks of the Vézère in a large garden filled with trees and flowers, with spacious pitches alongside other accommodation types such as cabanes toilées, cottages lumineux, and holiday homes.

Practical tips for saving more on a low-season camping stay

Choosing an accepted camping card is a smart start, but a few extra planning habits can help you get even more value from your trip.

1. Travel in spring or autumn

Low season is often ideal for campers who prefer a more relaxed rhythm. You can enjoy the setting, the garden atmosphere, and the riverside location without the peak summer pace.

2. Plan a touring-friendly itinerary

Because pitches welcome motorhomes, caravans, and tents, Le Paradis works well as a stop on a broader Dordogne route or as a base for several nights.

3. Arrive with the right electrical connection

Since the pitches use a European socket and provide 10A electric hook-up, it is wise to check your equipment before departure.

4. Use on-site facilities to keep your stay simple

With water and electricity included, free Wi-Fi, and a wide range of leisure options, it is easier to manage your budget without sacrificing comfort.

5. Check cancellation flexibility when booking

Le Paradis offers two approaches for reservation changes and cancellations.
