Lakeside, rocky sloping track
Le Grand Chavaillon, 19290, Peyrelevade
Been here?
Isolated lakeside rest area with two picnic tables, a covered table, and a rubbish bin, where fishing and launching a canoe or kayak are possible. Access requires 500m of rocky, sloping track and can be hard on suspensions, although campers over 7m have reached it in dry weather. It is quiet at night but used during the day by locals for the beach, picnics, and fishing, with occasional daytime traffic and noise.

Isolated spot far from the road, accessible in dry weather with a motorhome over 7 metres, if you are not worried about the suspension. Five hundred metres of rocky, sloping track. Busy during the day and even very early in the morning with locals coming for the beach, picnics, and fishing; it is a boat launch. Please respect access to the launch, the tranquillity, and the cleanliness of the place.
Very nice place where you feel alone in the world around a lake! Two picnic tables are available, one covered, as well as a bin. The only drawback is the fairly difficult rocky access road, but if you have a raised vehicle it will not be a problem!
Very difficult road; we tore off our engine sump. The beach is a puddle full of tadpoles and leeches, with far too much smell. Quiet night until 6 a.m., when timber trucks arrived on the road above. This place is far from being a haven of peace. Turn around.
Road in very, very bad condition, very difficult to access (light H2L1 van, raised or not). Canoes, boats, etc. are launched here. A lot of traffic and noise in the afternoon until nightfall. If you want peace and quiet, turn around.
Even with a 4x4 station wagon, it is extremely difficult! The road must have deteriorated badly. What a shame.
Too crowded, but we are here with four trucks; there are no more spaces, so no point coming. We are staying for three more days... Sorry, Camtar team, but turning around is difficult too. A lot of trucks have already arrived.
A spot just the way we like them. In the middle of nature. Two picnic tables and a bin. Rough road but no particular difficulty in a 6-metre van. We spent a very peaceful night.
Large, quiet space at night; in the evening, a few mopeds pass by. No trucks because it was the weekend and the businesses opposite were closed. The streetlamp stays on all night, and there is a recycling-bin depot, causing quite a bit of traffic. Overall quite pleasant; the refreshment stand next door is great for eating, although it may not be open all year.
