Our News

Our 2025 season is over.

Welcome to our very first news article! Bear with me (Hayley), writing isn't my strong suit—I much prefer talking face-to-face! But with our new website and booking system coming soon, I thought it was a good time to give it a go.

A little delay & new features to come

You may have noticed a slight delay in the launch of our booking system for the next season. This is due to ongoing updates! Our site is now available in French and English, with the Dutch version coming very soon.

2025 – An unforgettable season at the Ranch!

We're happy to say it's been a busy summer, and we've had the pleasure of welcoming so many wonderful people from all walks of life. It's always a joy to meet new people and catch up with our regulars—you're the heart of what makes Le Ranch feel like home.

There were also some wonderful highlights this year—including a stunning wedding held right here on the campsite! And the icing on the cake was that we were honored to receive recognition from ACSI, a Dutch camping organization renowned throughout Europe.

Even though we didn't win first prize, we were delighted to receive an honorable mention in the "Small Charming Campsites" category. Out of more than 2,700 campsites in France , Le Ranch was ranked in the Top 100 ! Considering our small size—probably one of the smallest campsites in their system—this is a nice surprise, and a great source of pride.

And, true to the spirit of the Ranch, we're already looking ahead to next year. I love taking on challenges, and this time, we're aiming even higher!

Flashback: 7 years at Le Ranch

I still can't believe it's been seven years since we took over the campsite in 2019. This is the perfect opportunity to tell you a little about our story, and how we got here, running a campsite in the heart of the French countryside.

Mike and I began our adventure after many holidays spent with my parents, who lived in France. Something about the Corrèze region drew us, especially after visiting Haute-Vienne and Dordogne. And as soon as we discovered Les Monédières, we knew it was home.

We found Le Ranch completely by chance. At the time, we dreamed of having a campsite in the UK, but it seemed out of reach. One day, I posted a question about the area in a Facebook group, and received a private message asking if we would be interested in buying a campsite. I was immediately intrigued!

After some discussion, we arranged a visit in September 2018. The Ranch was still in its infancy, created by a British couple who ran a farm on the land. They had built the toilets, obtained permission for camping, a liquor license, and installed a yurt. But they wanted to slow down and hand over to new caretakers.

From the moment we arrived to visit Le Ranch, we fell in love with the place. We came back, put our house up for sale, and by the end of December 2018, we were settled in France.

And here we are, seven years later!

And for the rest…

Every year, we try to make new improvements to the campsite. This year, in addition to the new website, other exciting projects are in the pipeline—I'll tell you about them in our next article.

They're talking about us!

We had the pleasure of being featured in French Property News magazine, in an article about Brits who have chosen to move to France – in the countryside or in the city (we are, of course, in the countryside part!).
