Pitches without any services, but toilets are available if you eat at the brasserie or take a boat ride. The pitch is free; otherwise it costs €10. Secure site at night.
Pleasantly shaded under trees. Good canoe rental and tour provider for beautiful boat trips. When renting boats, you receive a code to exit the barrier-controlled parking area, allowing you to park and stay overnight for free and use the toilets during opening hours. Within walking distance of central Coulon with several establishments.
I came by van with my son for one night and we were very warmly welcomed. Few places for motorhomes, but the location beside the marshes is ideal, especially for fishing. The night costs €10 and is free if you eat at the brasserie or take a boat ride. Very clean toilets, closed at 7 p.m. A path leads to the center of Coulon.
Excellent welcome. We arrived around 6:45 p.m. and collected the paper allowing us to stay overnight. Very quiet night; there were only three of us. The parking area is closed. The toilets also close at 7 p.m. We took the opportunity to put our paddleboards in the water, and the shop kindly lent us a map of the marshes.
Perfect place for a boat ride and spending the night, with pedestrian access to the very pleasant village of Coulon just a few minutes away.
Very nice parking area for a quiet night, eating at the brasserie, and taking a boat ride, which we highly recommend. Very quiet at night, beautiful place in nature. We returned for the second time and it was still just as good, with a magnificent boat ride with our guide Matt.
Great area. We spent a very, very quiet night there. Note that a footbridge is right at the end of the area, where the insect hotels are, providing access to central Coulon.
A place like we would love to find everywhere. Pleasant welcome. Waking to the sound of birds. Freshness of the marshes. Very shady. Perfect during hot weather.
Large shaded area, very pleasant in hot weather; very warm welcome; hiking and cycling departures from the brasserie. Spotless.
Very beautiful pitch reserved for restaurant customers or visitors taking trips through the Marais Poitevin. Quiet, on a shaded parking area.
Very beautiful area and warm welcome for our car with a rooftop tent. Flat ground, no noise except birds, toilets open during the day. The next day we enjoyed a lovely walk in the marshes. Thank you for this beautiful place!
Very good, flat, shaded, beside a canal. Magnificent surroundings, and the boat trip, independently or with a guide, is a must! For families, there is a trip involving a treasure hunt about local legends.
Very pleasant site surrounded by canals. Very convenient for arriving the day before a boat trip the next day. The gate closes at 7:30 p.m. and reopens around 8 a.m.
Pleasant paid spot (€10) if you do not consume anything on site. We took a one-and-a-half-hour boat ride (€26 per person) and had a snack. At 7:30 p.m., the toilets are locked, which is unfortunate. Our only criticism. Staff excellent in every respect.
Far too much traffic and nighttime noise, even in October. I planned to leave early, but that is not possible. The gate is closed until 8:30.
Very nice little spot for one night. If you take a boat trip, parking is free, as it is if you eat at the restaurant. Note that the toilets are accessible only during opening hours. There are also some mosquitoes in the evening and at night. But the night was very peaceful. I recommend it.
Large shaded parking area. If you consume something at the bar/restaurant, you receive an exit code ticket and can sleep and camp peacefully. The bathrooms can be used during the day but are locked at night. The village of Coulon is next door and reachable via a beautiful walk along the river. Very characteristic and worth visiting.
Natural setting, very nice and shaded. Restaurant, snack bar, shop, bicycle rental, and boat rides. Day and night parking allowed as long as you consume something. Peaceful and quiet place.
We arrived to visit the marshes, a very beautiful place. We were also able to stay overnight there, well shaded under the trees.
The restaurant is closed today, Monday. The reception at the boat dock refused our payment for the night. The parking area was supposedly reserved only for people taking a boat ride and only during the day. ‘We are not a motorhome area.’ We were able to obtain an exit token because we had only been there for two hours. We headed to the municipal motorhome area.
Very pleasant setting. It is possible to walk or cycle.
Great spot with a few shaded pitches. Manuel is extremely friendly. I really recommend it.
Great place. We spent one night in a van, in a quiet, shaded parking area. It is free if you take a boat ride or eat at the restaurant. Manuel gave us a very warm welcome on arrival. Everyone was very kind and welcoming during the boat trip. We recommend it.
Very beautiful parking area for a quiet night, eating at the brasserie, and taking a boat ride, which we highly recommend. Very quiet at night, beautiful place in nature.
Space for about ten motorhomes/vans. Very quiet and very well located for visiting Coulon. Toilets available during opening hours. Barrier at the entrance, €10 per night, or free if you take a boat ride or eat at the restaurant. Follow the rules provided at reception because this is a Natura 2000 area, so no chairs, tables, or awnings unless they are used.
