The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Free small parking on the Rhône canal banks near Sète, close to Saint-Gilles lock. Flat, spacious ground, very quiet with views over rice fields and local wildlife. Access via white path alongside the canal. No services. Light activity from fishermen in the morning. Beware: abundant mosquitoes, recurring litter, exposure to mistral wind.
Highlights
- Extremely quiet, great for nature lovers
- Flat and spacious for several vehicles
- Unique scenery featuring local wildlife (frogs, herons)
- Remarkable sunset
Good to know
- Mosquitoes are everywhere at night (bring repellent)
- Litter often left on the ground
- Access via a sometimes damaged earth path (follow the white path markers).
- Exposed to the mistral wind with occasional noisy campers
Motorhome access : Gravel path accessible for motorhomes and vans, easy access despite dirt terrain. Avoid the parallel dirt road—heavily damaged. Do not park in front of the barrier (trucks pass through). Easy maneuvering on flat ground.
