Forest parking, overnight refused
5 Avenue de la Galaxie, 33120, Arcachon
Been here?
A parking area opposite the Huttopia campsite, beside forest walking routes and a dead-end road. It is quiet at night apart from animals and possible early-morning campsite deliveries, while walkers are common during the day. Spaces are slightly sloping and intended for vehicles under 6 m, with difficult turning if the area is busy. Overnight stays have recently been refused by local authorities.

Parking unsuitable for motorhomes. Dead-end road, and turning around is difficult when busy.
The campsite staff called the police. We had to leave around 8 p.m., along with five or six other motorhomes and vans. During the day we had no parking problems. We were directed to Lycée Grand Air, which is ideal during school holidays or weekends, though slightly sloping but manageable.
As soon as we had settled in, the municipal police asked us to go to Lycée Grand Air nearby (during school-holiday periods).
Very pleasant place. We stayed one night and were very peaceful. We spent the whole day walking around the town, with no safety problems. The spaces are a little small for long vehicles, and the site is somewhat sloping.
Quiet location. Ideal for one night. Safe, clean, and pleasant. Dinner and lunch are available at the Huttopia campsite bar.
We slept there and it was very good and peaceful.
Quiet, no disturbance. Parking is slightly sloped.
Perfect for a stop of 1 to 2 nights. Although it is opposite the Huttopia campsite, it is a quiet place for vehicles under 6 m (parking space), an overnight stop beside the forest with hiking trails on a real pine-needle path, 5 minutes from the winter town, 15 minutes from Arcachon, and 30 minutes by bike from the Dune du Pilat.
Beautifully located parking area. The parking bays are only suitable for short campers, maximum 6 m. Located on a slope. Very quiet.
