The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Free parking by the seaside in Bandol, suitable for vans and small campervans (max length around 5.5 m). Ground is either earth or tarmac depending on the area, mostly flat but sometimes sloping. Close to the city center (5-minute walk) and a dog-friendly beach. Free public toilets nearby. Atmosphere is quiet off-season, but very busy in summer with early arrivals needed to secure a spot.
