The only drawback is that it is next to the road. That said, hardly anyone passes at night. Very peaceful night, with enough space for several vehicles and small vegetation hedges between the pitches for privacy. Accessible to all vehicles, and many hikes start here. Lower down, 200 m away, there is a small lake with a parking space reserved for disabled people.
We spent the night here. Very quiet night under the trees. Playgrounds and a picnic table. Very nice place, with beautiful walks through the forest on foot or by bicycle. The forest has ponds and very beautiful oak trees.
Very good place, on the edge of the forest and quiet. We would have happily stayed the night.
Beautiful flat area with lots of games and a picnic table. Small pond 100 m away and pretty forest. We had a very good night listening to the owls. A lightly traveled road is nearby. An activity center or holiday camp arrived in the morning from 8:30 a.m. Wednesday during school holidays, so probably exceptional.
Nice pitch along the road, not much traffic but the road is fairly noisy during the day. Large playground and everything in the shade. Lots of walks nearby, and a very quiet night.
