Shaded lakeside, muddy track in rain
10500, Dienville
Been here?
A secluded wild spot beside the lake, reached by a narrow dirt track through meadow and forest. It is quiet, shaded, spacious, and has a pleasant lake view, but the lakeshore is not readily accessible. Access is easy in dry weather but risky for heavier vehicles or in rain, when the track becomes muddy; camping is not permitted in this protected area.

Very beautiful spot! Pleasant night, nature and everything that comes with it (mosquitoes, frog noises…). Easy to access in dry weather; beware with heavier vehicles in wet weather, as there is a small dirt track to reach the lakeshore. Please respect the place! Good night.
it is a lovely spot, and a good back up but I do feel Temple lake or other spots up the road are nicer. our LWB had no issue on the track, would not go down it in the rain though. pros: secluded, shaded, view of lake, no road noise, plenty of space cons: couldnt access the lake as the waters edge was a bog, said bog smelt pretty bad one night, jet skis and boats between 10am and 8pm
Incredible and very quiet spot, but at this time of year it is suitable for a van but not a motorhome. The track is muddy; even in a van it took nerve to get through!
perfect spot for a night! quiet, beautiful view of the lake and feels tucked away and secure
Nice place to rest, sheltered from view. Warning: we got stuck while trying to manoeuvre near the track. You must stay in the centre of the track. Otherwise, I recommend it 100%!
Very good spot for a quiet, peaceful night with birdsong. The water's edge is inaccessible, beware. Apart from that, really lovely at the end of a forest track.
Very good, quiet and beautiful spot. Easy access for vans; narrow for panel vans and motorhomes…
Spot easy to access for a van or panel van. Sunset and wake-up accompanied by birdsong. Quiet night and pleasant view.
Fishing spot, like all the “fir tree” spots marked nearby. Be aware that you are in a protected area and camping in any form is not allowed.
We could not reach the spot because a 4x4 seems more suitable, and we did not want to venture there! Since all the other spots were occupied or inaccessible, we stayed in the bend leading to the indicated spot, taking care not to obstruct traffic or the field entrance. The place is still pleasant for spending the night, even though there is no direct or wide view of the lake!
