The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Shaded forest parking at the entrance to the Pierre Caves, ideal for visiting the geological museum and Volvic spring. Peaceful in late afternoon, equipped with public toilets and covered picnic tables. Access restricted: a height barrier was installed in September 2024, limiting camper van access. Atmosphere varies seasonally (busy with school groups in summer).
Highlights
- Shaded and relaxing forest setting
- Well-maintained public toilets that are appreciated
- Right next to two tourist attractions
- Guaranteed quiet at the end of the day
Good to know
- Motorhome access restricted by height barrier since September 2024

- Toilets closed outside cave opening hours
- Limited spaces (max 2-5 campervans)
Motorhome access : Access restricted since September 2024: height barrier limiting motorhome access. Rocky terrain complicates maneuvering. Alternative spots available on Rue de la Source (unmarked). Only a small 2-5 space parking lot.
