The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Lakeside parking near volcanic Auvergne, suitable for vans and compact camper vans (2.05 m height barrier). Public toilets and cold outdoor showers available but poorly maintained. Beach access, picnic tables, and seasonal snack bar. Typically very quiet, busier during summer daytime. Ideal peaceful overnight stop with swimming, despite sanitary facilities maintenance issues and occasional nighttime closures.
Highlights
- Very pleasant view over the lake
- Generally very peaceful, especially off-season
- Showers and toilets declared 24/7 (but not always reliable)
- Direct access to swimming spots
Good to know
- Poorly maintained toilets and showers or no running water
- Barrier at 2.05m: small motorhomes or vans only
- Hostile to overnight parking, nighttime bathroom closures
- Highway noise audible according to reviews
Motorhome access : Flat parking with a 2.05 m barrier. Only vans and small campervans allowed. Larger vehicles may park on the path/edge (possible but grassy and sloped, per reviews).
