The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Mountain parking spot in the Basque region, flat gravel surface surrounded by free-roaming livestock (cattle, horses, sheep). Access via very narrow road from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port requiring maneuvering to pass vehicles. Wild, immersive atmosphere despite cattle bells. Stunning views, especially at sunrise. No facilities available.
Highlights
- Stunning panoramic view with a change of scenery
- Very peaceful and wild setting
- Authentic atmosphere with free-roaming animals
Good to know
- Road access is very narrow (under 4m), mandatory maneuvers at intersections
- Cattle bells ringing at night
- Changing weather (possible wind, fog)
Motorhome access : Very narrow access requiring extreme caution (road under 4 m wide). Possible for low-profile vehicles. Frequent reversing/maneuvering needed at crossings, especially coming from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Avoid with large motorhomes or inexperienced drivers on narrow mountain roads.
