The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small free gravel parking by the Colmar canal, ideal for one autonomous night. 15 minutes by bike to the historic center via a dedicated cycle path. Slightly sloped terrain, access possible beyond the official prohibition sign. Peaceful natural setting (river, birds), but morning traffic and walkers/fishermen pass through. Occasional young riders on scooters. A few security reports to check.
