The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Free parking at the former Espalion railway station with spacious, level ground and excellent panoramic views of the town. No facilities (water noted by some nearby). Perfect starting point for the greenway (former railway) and hiking trails. Easy access to town center (10 min walk). Generally peaceful, though busy with walkers and youth activity on evenings/weekends. Ideal for a quiet overnight stop or day break.
