The grounds of Camping Marco de Bignac extend to 8.25 hectares (over 20 acres) embracing a spectacular lake of nearly 4 hectares (10 acres); the perimeter measuring almost 1 kilometre is securely fenced.  Mature trees fringe the lake, home to some impressive fish, including carp.  In the camping area the trees are arranged formally to delineate the 84 pitches that Camping Marco has to offer.  Our three-star rated camp-site, which includes a popular bar and restaurant, attracts a cross-section of nationalities.

Camping Marco de Bignac offers you the space and freedom to spend a quiet and restful holiday.  If your preference is more active our many sports facilities are at your disposal, free of charge.  Otherwise walk, cycle or motor in this region of France which is blessed with an exceptional climate – an area today unspoiled and largely undiscovered despite its fascinating history reflected in nearby cities such as Angoulême, Cognac and Saintes with their impressive Roman remains and magnificent castles together with churches and cathedrals that are masterpieces of Norman architecture.
Whether you wish to explore the surrounding countryside (substantially devoted to the grape-vine), towns or villages, taste the wine and food products or spend time on site using the facilities, visiting the bar / restaurant or simply relaxing, the choice is yours.  Camping Marco de Bignac is here to help you enjoy the holiday you want.
