€6 for the overnight stay is totally fine. Bins are available and wastewater can be emptied. Anyone staying at a farm should expect animal noises. Especially for families, the farm experience offers a good combination of overnight accommodation and leisure activities.Translating
Large pitches with a very beautiful view. The village of Montpeyroux is an absolute must-see; I recommend visiting the keep, €2.50. Toilets nearby and a bread vending machine. Apparently overnight stays are paid; we only stopped to visit, but it must be extremely quiet at night. No shade.Translating
We think the information is incorrect. Parking here is free, including for campers, unless you want to stay overnight. Then it costs €6.50. Someone comes in the evening to collect the parking fee if you stay overnight. Campers may use only one parking area. A small, cozy village—do not expect anything grand. Entry to the keep costs €2.50, and the water at the parking area also costs money.Translating
There is room for many motorhomes. No shade. We only used it for sleeping and it was very good—a peaceful night. It cost us €6. We had to pay in cash at the machine because it would not accept our card, perhaps because it was not French. It is next to a farm.Translating
Not far from the village, about 850 meters. Pitches are almost flat. We had Orange network coverage and a wonderful night. Across from the farm there are waste-dumping, filling, and electricity facilities for €2, but they are inconvenient. Nouvelles Échappées.Translating
The setting could be nice. No trees for shade, €6 for 24 hours of parking, and having to pay another €3 for 10 minutes of water and one hour of electricity is outrageous. Yes, you can hear the farm animals, but it did not bother us. Note that you do not have to pay if you only want to empty your black and grey water.Translating
The only positive point is that this parking area is flat. No shade, motorway noise, and noises from the educational farm animals—in short, a wonderful night for €6 for us motorhomers. This spot is not worthy of a site classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France.Translating
Fellow motorhome owners, move on. Here we are treated like milk cows! €6 parking fee is compulsory, while cars park free and without time limits. For us it is for 24 hours. On top of that, €3 for 10 minutes of water and one hour of electricity—€9 total? Somewhat excessive!Translating
Beautiful view from this “mandatory” parking area. We spent a quiet night. We like somewhat wild grassy places, so it did not bother us that it was not completely paved. But it is true that in rainy weather it must be difficult, since there is no properly stabilized surface. Very beautiful view.Translating
We stayed here for one night while passing through; very good, as already mentioned. Do not miss the little village!Translating
We spent a quiet night here! Ideal for families and dogs! Hiking trails right on site. The small village also offers a few surprises!Translating
Very convenient parking for visiting the village or stopping overnight. The ground is grassy and surely muddy in wet weather, judging by the ruts. The €6 ticket must be taken from the parking meter in the car park for cars, not at the educational farm. Very beautiful village, worth seeing. We did not need the services, but dumping and water are available via the service point.Translating
Great view of the mountains. We had a quiet night. We were there in dry weather; when wet, it is certainly very muddy, as shown by the tire tracks.Translating
The unpaved parking area is compulsory for motorhomes and costs €6 regardless of how long you stay—even one hour just to visit the village—while parking is free and unlimited for cars in paved car parks. It is genuine segregation! As a matter of principle, we did not stay and continued on our way.Translating
We had a good stay, with the educational farm sounds in the background—peacocks and chickens—and a beautiful view. It was dry, of course, and we were on grass, so I can imagine the access area becoming muddy when it rains. Get a €6 parking ticket.Translating
Stopped overnight to refill with water. Bring change for the token. Bins are available near the service point. Avoid in rainy weather.Translating
Very beautiful in dry weather. Great view of the mountains, water and waste facilities available, and a lovely little town right next door. We had a quiet night.Translating
On 24/11/25 we parked here during the day to visit the village. We spoke with an advisor who told us that this parking area is on private land loaned to the municipality, free during the day and paid at night. Another parking area with all the facilities for motorhomes is being built on municipal land. That is why this parking area is not yet finished. Let’s be patient.Translating
I completely agree with the previous review. I would not stop here again.Translating
Completely agree with the previous comment. The “reserved” area for motorhomes is nothing more than a sloping mud field. It is a shame, as we had previously been welcomed so well. We therefore carried on and will not stop here again.Translating
As mentioned previously, spot the difference: stabilized and free parking for cars, muddy and paid parking for motorhomes. For me there is no confusion—I’m going elsewhere.
I am willing to help improve our parking area according to the €6 service-point sign, but in the evening the parking area is completely dark, as well as muddy. Meanwhile, the free car park is stabilized, equipped, and lit. Where is the logic? Thank you to the municipality for making further improvements to encourage visits to this village. The service area works well.
The place is perfect for passing through if you can stay self-sufficient for one night. €6 for 24 hours is reasonable. Only the access road could use some gravel. There is a machine for waste disposal, electricity, and water, but it is somewhat far away; we did not need it. The village is really beautiful, and waking up to a view of the volcanoes is priceless.
We were lucky that it was dry. But even then, the place was a rough, hard track full of bumps. The nearby motorway can be heard as a hum throughout the night. The village, however, really has charm.
Avoid this place, fellow motorhome owners. We are not welcome here: several free car parks, motorhome prohibitions everywhere, and €6 for a muddy square whether you stay 30 minutes or 24 hours, with no service points in sight. Go instead to Usson, Lavaudieu, or Polignac; they are free and very beautiful villages.
Pleasant area with a superb panorama. Reasonable price. Be careful in wet weather. Thank you for these pitches.
Very beautiful village. The motorhome area is very muddy. A little expensive for what it is: €6 plus €3 for the services.
Wonderful panoramic view of the mountains. A warm welcome sign from the municipality. Beautiful, well-maintained village. Absolutely reasonable price. Many thanks.
Excellent overnight spot near the A75, but above all a magnificent village with many shops. Thank you to the municipality.
We spent one night here. Payment at the parking meter: €6. Very beautiful view. Thank you to the municipality.
