The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Large free bituminous parking in central Arbois, ideal for exploring the village and accessing shops (bakery, fromagerie, restaurants). Public toilets nearby. Convenient daytime spot, but highly variable nighttime atmosphere: some report peaceful nights, others describe noise disturbances (young people, loud music, restless behavior at public facilities) that persist despite the town's small size.
Highlights
- Central location with easy access to shops and restaurants
- Free parking with smooth tarmac surface
- Accessible public toilets (though sometimes in poor condition)
Good to know
- Nighttime atmosphere is highly variable and often noisy (young people, music, conflicts)
- Public toilets squatted, unlit, and never locked
- Tight for long vehicles (over 7.5m), market on Fridays
Motorhome access : Flat and tarmacked parking. Short and narrow spots, difficult maneuvering for vehicles over 7.5m. Easy road access but near a busy town center
