Is the water clean at Plage Du Camping Du Buisson?
Plage Du Camping Du Buisson is a river bathing site with an official EU Bathing Water rating of Excellent for the 2025 season — the highest official classification under the EU bathing-water assessment. That annual classification comes from the EU Bathing Water Directive: national authorities test for two indicator bacteria, intestinal enterococci and E. coli, throughout the bathing season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency (EEA) the following spring — the 2025 season's rating was published in spring 2026, and the 2026 season won't be rated until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. On site you'll find Toilets, Parking, and Sports facilities. You can park about ~110 m away.
That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. If you're timing a visit around water temperature rather than crowds, July–September is the safest bet, with August typically the peak — expect a cooler, calmer sea either side of that stretch. Le Buisson — the closest town — sits about ~1.1 km from here.
That “Excellent” label comes from a full season of official water sampling, not a single test — it's one step on a four-point scale (Excellent, Good, Sufficient, Poor) reassessed once a year. Today's actual conditions can differ from the seasonal average, so for a live snapshot see the “Right now” and 7-day outlook panels above. It's been a consistently reliable spot too — the rating has held at Excellent for 11 straight years. There are 3 places to eat within a kilometre — Kiosque du pont de Vicq is the closest, about ~160 m away.
Frequently asked questions
Is Plage Du Camping Du Buisson a safe beach for swimming?
Yes. Its official 2025 EU Bathing Water rating is Excellent, the top classification, and 11 of the 11 classified seasons on record have rated Excellent or Good. It's also held steady at Excellent for 11 straight years.
How warm is the sea at Plage Du Camping Du Buisson right now?
That's placeholder data, not a live measurement: Plage Du Camping Du Buisson's marine-weather feed couldn't be reached, so the panel above is showing an estimated ~25°C until the real feed comes back. That's the reading right off Dordogne.
Which month has the warmest sea at Plage Du Camping Du Buisson?
July–September is typically the most reliable swimming window, with the sea usually warmest in the second half of summer. That applies to the water around Dordogne.
How is the water quality rating measured?
The annual classification — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — is built from a full season of official testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli, reported to the European Environment Agency each spring. Some national authorities (Croatia's IZOR among them) also publish individual samples during the season itself; Plage Du Camping Du Buisson isn't yet covered by that in-season feed.
How do I get to Plage Du Camping Du Buisson without a car?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. The nearest town is Le Buisson, about ~1.1 km away.
