Strandbadweg, 6214, Schenkon
Been here?
A free roadside parking area near Sursee's public lake beach, tucked under/beside a busy highway with a noise barrier. Chargeable April–September, 8am–8pm (around 5 CHF/day, free overnight), max 1 day stay; no height limit, though a nearby different area is height-restricted. Popular in summer, arrive early for a spot; larger motorhomes fit but pitches can be short. Overnight stays are common and mostly quiet after 10pm, but there have been isolated reports of suspicious individuals at night, so some travellers feel uneasy.

Parking fees have increased massively. Now also at night. The cost for 24 hours is now 20. A disgrace!Translating
Good place for larger motorhomes too. It gets busy in summer and at weekends. Arrive early. 5 per day until 8 p.m. Night free. Maximum height 3.50 m due to the passage.Translating
We stayed here for a day and visited the park and lido. We also spent the night here; there were no other cars. If the road does not bother you, it is a good spot for an overnight stay. At 5 CHF for a day, it is very cheap.Translating
We slept here for one night. We were wary of people who might come because of the comments, but only two cars came and nothing unusual happened.Translating
Height restriction even in the off-season.Translating
Good for spending one night, although it is next to the highway. The next day we went to the small grassy beach. Very nice.Translating
Gloomy and not safe at all; we did not stay overnight.Translating
Good for the night; we spent the day at the leisure center. The children loved it: swimming, diving boards, and paddleboarding. Free from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., then 5 CHF for the day.Translating
Partially integrated motorhome, 7.4 m. Parking spaces are too short for a large motorhome. We parked with the rear overhanging onto the grass. But beware: there are large stones in the tall grass. We parked to go swimming. I would not stay overnight.Translating
We spent one night here next to the volleyball court. Paid beach 150 m away costs 3.50 CHF, but 150 m farther there is a free beach with a bar and small restaurant. Noisy because the road is nearby, but quieter after 10 p.m.Translating
