The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small free service area in a Creuse village near a pond. Tarmac parking with semi-level pitches, children's play area and nearby shops (renowned bakery, pizzeria). Service station heavily vandalized and long neglected: only waste disposal works. Water and electricity partially functional per reviews. Very quiet setting, ideal for overnight stop or hiking. Visitors appreciate free access but frustrated by the obvious abandonment of infrastructure despite municipal support.
Highlights
- Very peaceful, lush and green
