The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Two small grass parking areas beside the Vienne river near Chinon. Access via a small ridge challenging for large motorhomes (7.20 m critical). Quiet, low-traffic spot with river views. Occasional issues: evening mosquitoes, variable cleanliness, steep slope access. Best suited for smaller units overnight.
Highlights
- Absolute peace and very little traffic
- Pleasant natural setting by the Vienne River
- Shared amenities (tables, BBQ grills)
Good to know
- Access difficult for large campervans due to a steep slope or bump
- Mosquitoes on certain evenings
- Cleanliness varies, litter sometimes present
Motorhome access : Very challenging: small bump/embankment at the entrance is a dealbreaker for motorhomes over 7 m. Limited grassy pitches; best for small units or lightweight campervans.
