The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
New motorhome parking (€12/night) with stunning valley views, perfect for visiting Rennes-le-Château village. Modern facilities: clean toilets, water, electricity (4 hookups only). Slightly sloped ground with marked pitches. Mountain access. Confusing access rules: officially open day/night but chaotic operation with gate closure, unclear pricing (day parking €3-5 separate from night). Calm atmosphere, excellent hiking base.
