Forest pond, police clear overnight
Route du Coupe Gorge, 78120, Rambouillet
Been here?
A forest parking area beside a pond, with multiple spaces, walking trails and a cool, quiet natural setting. The pond has recently been completely dry, although older stays found frogs and water there. Many people use the forest for walking, cycling and picnics, and police have recently asked overnight occupants to leave at 23h.

Super quiet and cool spot, especially with lots of people out walking.
Very beautiful, but at 11 p.m. the police asked us to leave.
Very beautiful and peaceful place, a joy to wake up to the sound of birds.
Felt unsafe, with one car after another continuously parking and carefully looking around before leaving again without anyone getting out. It felt like a place for activities other than walking.
Nice place, we arrived at night and slept peacefully. The lake was completely dried up, we were next to a caravan, they were super friendly. In the morning we heard some gunshots in the area (we think it’s people that were hunting nearby). And since it was a Sunday there were cyclistes and runners in the morning. No trash on the ground, very clean spot. Do recommend
When we got to a sign forbidding passage for motorized vehicles, Google told us to continue, but we turned left and found the place. Space for multiple, however, a knocked down barrier on the ground made us feel like we were intruding. Came in the night, encountered some deer on the road! There weirdly was also noise of different aircrafts for several hours until late at night.
Nice, spacious place in the middle of nature, with birdsong, frogs, and wind in the trees. But the pond is completely dried up and there are lots of mosquitoes :(
Quiet area within the woods where we spent the night. The pond next to the parking area was not empty and we could hear the frogs all night, but that was nice. Lots of trails around if trekking if you are into trekking. This is not a 100% remote place, people do come and go very often for a picnic and walking in nature.
It is one of a vast array of spots/park up's in this forest park. The perfect place for long walks, walking the dog and cycling so expect lots of company until the early evening. This spot has excellent views of a small lake (but the water level was very low the night we stayed) Oh, there was lots of noise from a shooting range close by, but that closed at 6pm
The place is beautiful. However, there is no longer any water in the pond. There was nobody there.
Great spot with a lot of parking area and hiking trails. In the middle of a forest. There is a lot of people in the evening and some in the morning.
Perfect spot! Flat ground, beautiful panorama (the lake was full), and a nice walk. The only noisy neighbours were the frogs ;)
