The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small flat area in a pine forest above Velaux, perfect for a nature stopover and starting hiking trails to archaeological and natural sites. Quiet and shaded spot, accessible to motorhomes despite a bumpy road. Peaceful atmosphere, though occasional patrols (municipal police, gendarmerie) remind visitors of the ban on wild camping during high fire risk periods. No services available on site.
