Isolated pond, difficult access
36290, Azay-le-Ferron
Been here?
A very quiet, isolated spot at the end of a narrow track beside a pond, suitable only for a small van. Low branches line the access route, which recent reports describe as difficult or requiring a 4x4. The ground is limited and can become muddy enough to cause vehicles to get stuck. The pitch is approximately level and offers a pleasant view over the water.

Poorly passable access road; a 4x4 is needed.
You have to dare, but finding somewhere quieter will be difficult.
Warning! Risk of getting stuck in mud. A tractor had to pull me out. Very limited space, suitable only for a small van.
Alone in the world at the end of this path! Easily accessible by van, but beware of low branches on the access road. Relatively level area either along the forest or near the pond, while leaving a passage.
The place is accessed by a fairly narrow path with some low branches. Small spot beside the water. For small vehicles such as vans or converted trucks. Quiet place with a nice view of the pond.
Very beautiful place to stop. Very quiet and relaxing beside a large pond. Not suitable for motorhomes, but better for vans and campervans. Only one space, approximately level; keep close to the forest to leave room for passage. One-way road. Turning around is possible but difficult; it is better to have a 4x4. Peaceful night without any noise.
Very beautiful, quiet place with only birdsong. Level ground at the end of a path.
Great spot. Beware: the ground becomes very muddy in rainy weather. Do not get stuck. At the end of the road after the small bridge, you reach a T-junction. If you turn left rather than right, the path is easily passable and has other equally nice, safer spots in muddy conditions. You also do not need to turn around; the path exits onto another road on the other side.
Pleasant place with a beautiful view of the pond.
Great spot for nature and bird lovers. Quiet and relaxing.
On August 5, 2023, we quickly fled this spot, which was infested with horseflies! Horrible. It may be very pleasant at another time of year.
The spot was already occupied when we arrived around 5 p.m. You have to go a little farther along the unmaintained path to find it. About 500 meters away, it is possible to sleep on the path in the middle of a field, under a tree—no traffic, set back from the departmental road, which is lightly trafficked.
