Unnamed Road, 40465, Pontonx-sur-l'Adour
Been here?
Secluded quiet spot accessible by a 500 m bumpy grass path alongside a fitness trail. Shaded by large oak trees, near the Adour river and small lakes; picnic tables provided. A fallen tree blocks the path's end, but a clearing just before works well. Ground can be muddy and rutted. Very calm, even with several other campers present; wildlife active at dusk. Small vans and 7 m campers fit; bring supplies.

A fallen tree prevents access to the end of the track. We stopped in a clearing a little earlier, which is also very nice, right in front of picnic tables. Very quiet, with no traffic noise.Translating
After 500 meters of bumping along, you arrive at a somewhat neglected picnic area. Unlike the parking area before it, the grass had not been mowed, and a large fallen tree blocked the path. Still, we found a spot and enjoyed it—so peaceful. In the morning we walked through this beautiful area with many birds. Also walk to the birdwatching tower and enjoy it.Translating
Open area, all alone in the world, with magnificent huge oak trees. Beside the Adour, with a walk around the small lakes that evidently fill during floods (currently dry, unfortunately), but a very beautiful place!Translating
Great, quiet, shaded spot near the river.Translating
Very good! A quiet spot. We arrived around 5 p.m. and were joined by 4 other vehicles. There is plenty of space and picnic tables. There is another parking area farther up; on the way there is a water point. Be careful if arriving at night, as there are a few ruts that can be deep.Translating
Very pleasant place; we spent a cool night here during a heatwave. Very quiet and peaceful. Be careful, the road to get there is not very good.Translating
Flat, pleasant and shaded spot, ideal for opening our rooftop tent. There were 2 vans with us, and we had plenty of space without getting in each other's way.Translating
Accessible, flat, shaded and very quiet. There were 3 vans. We slept very well.Translating
We spent one night here, alone and peacefully in nature. Very pleasant. Easily accessible with a 7 m motorhome. Picnic table available. Please keep this place clean!Translating
Beautiful spot, very charming and secluded. Be careful on the grass as it can get muddy in some places. We loved our night there. One other van was here, the place is big enough so we did not disturb each other. We saw just one guy walking his dog in the morning. Translating
A little corner of paradise, quiet with no passing vehicles, perfect for spending the night and easy to access.Translating
I really liked this place and stayed for 3 or 4 days. It is very quiet. In the evening, the animals come out: an owl, wildcat, squirrel and grey heron discreetly came to visit. A few people walked along this bird observatory. Nearby by bicycle: bakery, tobacconist, bar, restaurant, supermarket, etc.Translating
We drove to the end of the road in a T5 van, and the road was not too difficult! We were alone and woke up in the morning to the songs of many birds!Translating
When it has rained, it is better to use the parking area a little farther north because the car sinks easily here. Otherwise, a beautiful place!Translating
Difficult for motorhomes to access, but with a small van it is a superb, bucolic stopover with lovely walks.Translating
Beautiful pitch right by the river, surrounded by nature. Wonderful peace and quiet; the only sounds are birdsong and crickets chirping. A true little gem and a great area for hiking. In the morning, however, you can hear the background noise from the road.Translating
Great little spot, quiet and pleasant.Translating
Beautiful, quiet and clean picnic area. Very calm at night.Translating
Beware of very aggressive hornets at night. My friend ended up in hospital. A shame, because the spot is beautiful.Translating
An absolute dream spot! Heavenly peace and quiet, despite frequent hikers passing by. Thanks to the large trees, you can park wonderfully in the shade, and the internet reception is perfect even for working!Translating
Very cute and pleasant. Great for remote workers. Our dog made a friend there! Very pleasant place, and all the travelers there were friendly. We would have liked to stay longer!Translating
Perfect! Still just as quiet and relaxing. Lovely walks :))Translating
Very nice place to spend a night in a van or motorhome. Picnic table and small ponds. The only problem is the helicopter school. The last flights finish around midnight, with almost constant noise overhead. During the day it is not very noticeable because of the surrounding traffic, but at night it is unbelievably noisy.Translating
A little corner of paradise at sunrise, shaded, with birdsong, away from the road, quiet and well maintained. Great!Translating
Very nice place to spend the night!Translating
