The Camper’s take

Updated June 2026

Natural riverside parking by the Clain river, 15 minutes by bike from Poitiers. Green, peaceful setting ideal for a quiet overnight stay. Railway proximity is noted but rarely disturbing according to most visitors. Access via white track with no height restriction. Minimal services: bin only. Shops 400 m away. Note: municipal order since September restricts access to motorhomes and campervans.

Highlights

  • Very peaceful and lush natural setting
  • No height limit, suitable for large vans
  • Spacious area with several spots
  • Close to shops (bakery, pharmacy)

Good to know

  • Trains passing audible (though not disruptive for most)
  • Municipal regulation since September bans inhabited vehicles
  • No toilets, water, or electricity
  • Respect for the place is uneven: illegal dumping reported

Motorhome access : Access via a white road; easy maneuvering in a vast, flat space. No confirmed height limit (though some mention a gate). Suitable for large vehicles.
