The entrance to Camping des Iles is over a bridge and one of those Perigordean houses with a balcony sits by the riverside.
I remember the height restriction at 3mtrs.The dog ducked as we went under.

Anyway im sure a Timberland can do what a Nuevo (2.78high) can.

We have visited several times and stayed there earlier in the year, absolutely magical place, on both accasions we stayed at Le relais du campeur which is located at L'Hosptalet on the hill overlooking the Roc and reasonably priced

Not been there in a Motor home so no tips on routes I'm afraid.

A really beautiful area quite breathtaking all round there the view on the way out of Rocamadour is a miniature Grand Canyon.

Sarlat is lovely and the Dordogne flows swiftly and has a rock base!

I would love to go back there its real France!

I'ts a great place. Full of medieval history. Was and is a major stopping point on the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella in Spain. It's also famous for its Black Madonna. Also make sure not to miss the eagles and buzzards which they fly off the top of the cliffs. Huge birds with 6/8ft wingspans, awesome to see.

Have just got back from travelling around France for 3 weeks (managed to clock up 3070 miles). Was in Rocamadour first week in August and must say that for the only time in our 3 week break - tempers between hubby and me started to get frayed.
On the evening we arrived there were two guys in the road on the hairpin bend entering the town acting as traffic patrol as Motorhomes Could not manoeuver the corner easily (found out later these guys were the Petit train drivers). We parked up in a large car park where lots and lots of motorhomes were, I approached the local gendermarie who were present in the car park - how much it was to park here overnight I asked in my bestest pigeon french, only to be told that Motorhomes were strictly forbidden to park here and he was in the process of moving everybody on. (there were no signs saying this anywhere). On leaving the car park?field I notice most of the unoccupied motorhomes had parking tickets.
The gendarmerie directed up up to the chateau parking at L'hospital!! or what peejay correctly called it in a previous posting!!!
We again risked the hairpin and very low bridge (which because of our roofbox - had to drive in the middle of the road) and staying in the chateau parking. You can from here take a very nice but steep walk into the town or take a lift which runs inside the cliff down to the village.

Although it was a bit of a hectic arrival at the village it was worthwhile as the place is lovely. Would definitely go again but would stop at L'hospital! and not try to go further.
