Free lakeside parking, camping ban
4 Chemin de Varmey, 1299, Crans-près-Céligny
Been here?
On the edge of Lake Léman, this large public parking area with a grassy section attracts overnighters despite mixed reactions from neighbours: some travellers pass calm nights undisturbed, others get confronted by residents or police who cite a local ban on wild camping. Free of charge, with a 72-hour limit posted. The surface is slightly sloping and there are no toilets, but paddle rental, a snack bar, swimming and grassy sunbathing areas are nearby. Traffic noise picks up around 7:30am.

Ideal spot, but the local residents made it clear that we had to leave. So we left after our bike ride.Translating
Perfect for one night. Right next to a busy road, but quiet at night. Located directly by the lake.Translating
Good place to park for few hours. If you plan to stay for a night make sure you park on the actual parking, not on the grassy bit and be discreet. I stayed for one night on the grassy part and it definitely got the attention of the locals who complained to the van parked next to me. We all left within few minutes.
A very good place, perfect for one night, with no restrictions. We loved the views. All the best. There are toilets at the marina that can be used, and even a shower, which I only saw mentioned on the sign. I managed to find a flat area for a motorhome.Translating
