Delightful site for families

We travelled with Eurocamp, having previously booked a different site, and then changing to this one. It would be hard to be more pleased about our choice.
The site currently only hosts Premium grade mobile homes for Eurocamp, and these are well-located very close to the main amenities, but slightly... down a hill and with a building between them and the main entertainment areas, meaning easy access without much noise disturbance.
The couple managing the site were welcoming, and checked in on us. All the mobiles are currently new, so in great condition, and with a good layout (notably including a larger bathroom than we've been used to... if somewhat limited standing space around the bed in the double room!)
The site is generally peaceful, and while the mobiles are slightly closer together than we've seen at some other sites, we certainly didn't feel particularly overlooked. The whole site is very well maintained (we saw someone cleaning the main refuse bins!) and with good facilities. We (with our two children of 3 & 5) made use of the pétanque boules, mini golf, football area and playpark (all freely available), as well as all the pools. The toddlers splash pool was perfect for them, with a small slide and clown spray, and even on the hottest days in late August, we had no trouble getting a sunbed. In fact, everything feels as though it could cater for more guests than there are, despite them being full in the height of summer. As other reviews have mentioned, there are some surfaces near the pool area which are uncomfortable underfoot (akin to a pebbly beach), but the main terraces around the pools and sunbeds are paved - it's mostly the to-and-fro for the slides where you've got to be ready for tread nimbly.
The focus definitely remains on native guests, so all entertainment, etc. was exclusively in French. We mostly took ours along to the mini discos. There's also a small games room (air hockey, table football and a couple of other games), which is probably one of the more tired parts of the site.
The on-site snack bar offered very quick service all afternoon and evening. Perhaps the only shortcoming overall was the very limited shop on site - it really does just have a handful of things available, and if you want bread/croissants/pain au chocolat, these all need to be pre-ordered the night before - an easy enough system of just jotting your name on a list at the bar, but also easy enough to forget to do.
Supermarkets in nearby Sarlat are large, the nearer Intermarché in Salignac-Eyvigues is much more limited (and dingy!)
Would definitely recommend.
