Fishing lake, motorway noise
40210, Labouheyre
Been here?
This isolated parking area beside a fishing lake can provide an overnight stop, with space for about 4/5 vans away from the water. Parking spaces reserved for fishermen must be left clear, especially near the signs and lake. The motorway is very close and can be noisy, while flies may be troublesome. A rubbish bin is available.

It helped us out for a night on our holiday route. However, the motorway is very close and it was very noisy. On top of that, there was a party in a nearby hall — just our bad luck!
We arrived very late and left around 10 a.m. on a Sunday. We were not bothered and the place was very quiet. Do not park in the spaces reserved for fishermen; there is a sign saying no motorhomes.
Great spot. There are some reserved spaces with signs for the fishermen. There is more space available for 4/5 vans where there are no signs. Sole fisherman came over and did not make a problem of it. There are lots of annoying flies tho.
nice spot !! Just a friendly reminder (we got from someone there) : this is a fishermen spot, vans and campers should park further from the water to leave spot to them :)) Especially in Summer !!
Great spot for one night. You can hear the motorway close by but it's not too bad when in the van. There was one other campervan there when we stayed. It's not a huge parking area so probably not suitable for motorhomes. Our van is 5x2 metres and we had no problem. The track is quite narrow and a little bumpy. We arrived late and left early and didn't see anyone. No services, leave no trace :)
Please specify the size of your vehicle in the comments; it will save some people a pointless drive. There are several height restrictions. Our vehicle was 3 metres high and 7 metres long.
In September, we were alone and peaceful, although we could hear the distant motorway. Fishing is possible. A bin is available. Foxes and deer for neighbours. Space for five vans.
We were able to spend the night there without any problems. We also spoke to the person responsible for the site, who admitted being tired of the influx of motorhomes in this car park. Nevertheless, he is very understanding and kind and accepts our presence, but not beside the lake or near the signs, where spaces are reserved for fishermen. Check the latest added photo; parking is accepted from the oak tree onward. A useful backup spot.
