The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Riverside parking along the Cher in forest setting, 10 minutes' walk from Château de Chenonceau. Multiple shaded spots along a towpath. Very popular but rarely full. Generally peaceful nights despite daytime foot and bike traffic. Regular early morning hot air balloon launches (6:30 AM). Uneven, muddy terrain in wet conditions. Access reported restricted by barriers in some reviews.
