Takes Camping Cheques, £13.95 per night, www.campingcheque.co.uk, description in the Camping Cheques guide states - pools are open, but the minimarket, restaurant, pizzeria, takeaway, bar, or snack bar aren't.

You can have a look at the average weather in April on this website - Historical Weather Bergerac - but I think perhaps Bergerac is the nearest 'weather station' to Soleil Plage, however, it should give you a better idea than Joe Bloggs who might post - we were there in April 2009 and it rained for two weeks, or Fred Bloggs who might post - we were there in April 2007 and it was a heatwave.  At least comparing years will give you a better idea!

It's likely to be quiet - the Easter weekend might be a little busier, but not that much.  The French just don't seem to do anything other than hot weather camping!  There may be some British families there in the Eurocamp mobiles, though, so you should at least have some neighbours.

It's a lovely site - right on the river, with a river beach.  It's near enough to all the main sites in the Dordogne, and yet unlike a lot of other sites is quietly situated off any main roads.  It's an easy drive into Sarlat and the LeClerc supermarket for shopping, and on market day.

Late April 2010 and april 2009 were significantly different

Max in mid teens in 09 and mid 20s in 10

looks like max of about 20C is the going rate at the end of the month.

The river is likely to be recently melted snow

The rally is 4th to 25th of May. Last year when we were at SP in late May the weather was mixed, with quite a bit of rain. We moved on to ST Emilion, near Bergerac and they'd been having great weather there so the data for Bergerac could be quite different to Sarlat.

says it rained in Bergerac on 5 of the last 6 days of May - of course most of it was just a few drops that could have fallen at night
