The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Day parking near Murat-le-Quaire informally tolerated overnight, close to lake with excellent hiking access (Lac de Guéry, Banne d'Ordanche). Notable nearby attractions including ephemeral art installations. Camping-car access usually straightforward. Maintenance varies seasonally; winter conditions challenging. Informally permitted but respect essential. Busy in peak season.
Highlights
- Exceptional location: lake and hiking trails right next door
- Free parking/paid with overnight tolerance
- Relatively easy access for motorhomes
- Peaceful and picturesque village setting
Good to know
- Insufficient maintenance and recurring winter issues (snow, ice, thaw)
- Unofficial status causing tensions and risk of ban
- Impassable in winter depending on conditions
- Excessive traffic in peak season
Motorhome access : Gated entrance (wide enough for small vans), maneuvering possible. Winter conditions can make access very difficult.
