The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Mountain parking area 1.5 km above Gavarnie village, ideal starting point for Cirque hikes. Gravel lot, free/paid depending on season (€10/24h). Basic services: potable water, grey and black water emptying (located on different sections). Very quiet with stunning Pyrenees views and multiple hiking trails. Facilities are aging and poorly marked. No electricity or public toilets.
Highlights

Good to know
