The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Recent (2018) overnight parking area in Thouars, well-positioned near the historic town center and river. Level ground with 12-13 demarcated spaces. Electricity (6 outlets only, one-sided), free WiFi, grey/black water disposal at entrance. Paid parking (€5.40/24h). Main drawback: permanent occupation of spaces and sockets by long-term residents, making electricity access unpredictable. No visibility of available spaces before payment. Generally quiet atmosphere but tension between residents and passing visitors.
Highlights
- Close to the city center and historic heritage
- Flat and stable ground, marked pitches
- Affordable parking with optional electricity
- Peaceful and quiet with an unobstructed view of the river
Good to know
- Only six electric hookups for 12-13 pitches: very unreliable access
- Permanent occupation by squatting residents taking up spots and electrical hookups
- No visibility of available spots before payment at the barrier
- Payment/water terminal is far from pitches and frequently malfunctions
Motorhome access : Access via 2.30m barrier. Slightly sloping terrain, marked stable spots—chocks advised. Easy maneuvering. Dump/fill station uphill, far from parking. Poor visibility before payment.
