The Camper’s take

Updated June 2026

Large forest parking in nature, quiet at night despite nearby low-traffic road. Excellent trailhead for hiking (Puy de la Vache). Flat, shaded terrain with bins. Overnight parking tolerated only (20h-8h) in protected area: no equipment or levelling. Very busy daytime with hikers and tour buses. No mobile signal. Strict rules must be respected.

Highlights

  • Very quiet at night with minimal traffic
  • Spacious, flat parking lot with good shade
  • Perfect starting point for a variety of hikes
  • Bins on site

Good to know

  • No mobile signal (dead zone)
  • Busy during the day, parking full by morning
  • Construction/renovations planned (2026-2027)
  • Dusty in dry spells, wild toilet paper in the forest

Motorhome access : Easy access, flat and wide terrain. Forest track accessible to all vehicles. Easy maneuvering, plenty of spaces. Watch out for dust in summer.
