Power Up Sustainably: Using Our 22 kW EV Charging Points During Your Stay
Arriving in Dordogne by electric vehicle should feel simple, not stressful. If you want to enjoy your holiday without worrying about where to recharge, Le Moulin de Paulhiac makes EV travel easier with two 22 kW charging points at the campsite. For guests planning a stay near Sarlat and across the Périgord Noir, that means you can combine comfort, discovery and a more sustainable way to travel.
At Camping Le Moulin de Paulhiac, the charging points are designed to support guests who want to explore the region while reducing their environmental impact. In this guide, you will find everything you need to know about using our 22 kW EV charging points during your stay, where they are located, when they are available, and how to plan your days around convenient charging.
Why EV charging at the campsite matters
When you stay at a campsite in a region as rich in scenery and heritage as the Dordogne, freedom of movement matters. You may want to visit a village in the morning, enjoy a riverside activity in the afternoon, and return for dinner and a relaxed evening on site.
Having electric vehicle charging points directly at the campsite helps make that possible. Instead of searching for a public charger elsewhere, you can recharge where you are staying and plan your outings with more peace of mind.
This is especially useful for holidays built around:
- day trips to nearby attractions
- family excursions across the Périgord Noir
- short scenic drives between villages and viewpoints
- a lower-impact travel experience
Electric mobility and camping are a natural fit. Both encourage a slower, more intentional way of travelling, with greater attention to landscape, local discovery and everyday practicality.
Where to find the 22 kW EV charging points
The answer is simple: the charging points are located in the campsite parking lot.
Camping Le Moulin de Paulhiac offers:
- 2 charging points
- 22 kW power per charging point
- availability 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- access in both high and low season
That means guests can charge at a time that suits their stay, whether they are returning from a day out or preparing for an early departure the next morning.
Quick answer: can you come with an electric vehicle?
Yes. If you are travelling with an electric vehicle, you can charge it on site at Le Moulin de Paulhiac using the two 22 kW charging points in the parking lot, available 24/7.
This direct answer is often what guests want first, especially when planning route stops or booking accommodation that supports EV travel.

A campsite stay that supports more sustainable travel

At Le Moulin de Paulhiac, environmental care is supported through:
- a waste sorting centre

For many travellers, these details matter. They show that sustainability is not treated as a single feature, but as part of everyday operations.
Planning your charging around your holiday
A good EV holiday is usually a well-planned one. Even with convenient on-site charging, a few simple habits can make your stay even easier.
1. Charge when the car is naturally parked
The easiest charging sessions are often the ones that happen while you are already busy doing something else. Arrive back at the campsite, park, and charge while you enjoy the rest of your day or evening.
This approach helps you make the most of your time rather than structuring your holiday around your battery.
2. Combine charging with on-site activities
Because the campsite offers several services, you can recharge your vehicle while you:
- have a meal at the restaurant
- pick up food from the grocery store
- enjoy the aquatic area
- spend time with the family during the evening
- prepare for the next day’s outing
3. Plan local excursions efficiently
Le Moulin de Paulhiac is situated in the Golden Triangle of the Périgord Noir, close to some of the Dordogne’s best-known attractions. That makes it a practical base for outings without constantly changing accommodation.
Nearby highlights include:
- Castelnaud Castle
- the Marqueyssac Gardens
- Milandes Castle
- canoeing on the Dordogne
A central base can make EV travel more comfortable because it reduces the complexity of daily logistics. You can head out, explore, and return to the same campsite to recharge.
4. Ask reception for current practical details
For the latest information related to charging use, on-site assistance remains the best option. The reception team can help guests with current practical arrangements during their stay.
In high season, reception is open daily:
- 09.00 to 20.00
As a family-run campsite, supported by a team of seasonal staff, Le Moulin de Paulhiac aims to offer a welcoming and practical guest experience.
EV charging and family holidays: a good match
Family trips work best when daily organisation stays simple. That is one reason why on-site EV charging can be so valuable.
Instead of adding an extra stop to the day, you can keep the focus on what matters most:
- spending time together
- enjoying the facilities on site
- discovering Dordogne at your own pace
- returning to a comfortable base each evening
Guests appreciate the campsite’s spacious pitches, family-friendly atmosphere, proximity to nature, water park and restaurant. With a 4.7 rating on Google, Le Moulin de Paulhiac is one of the highest-rated campsites in the Céou Valley.
