Mountain parking, busy and tight
Unnamed Road, 13890, Mouriès
Been here?
This wild parking spot lies near the mountains, hiking routes and a climbing area, with sunset views about 5min away on foot. The setting can be scenic and quiet at night, but it is often busy, with several motorhomes and daytime traffic from walkers, horses, tractors, cars and sports activities. The parking is narrow, sloped and difficult for larger vehicles because of a tight bend. The previously described field is no longer available.

This place could be good, but despite it being the end of December, there were far too many people. Five motorhomes stayed overnight, parked far too close together. When we arrived in the evening, several motorhomes were still there, so I preferred to go elsewhere. There are many better places where nobody is around. I did not understand why everyone crowded into this small parking area when there are plenty of other nice spots.
We did not stay because it is a narrow parking area. The photos of the meadow are no longer current!
Very nice for one night, with a view of the mountains. A few hikers and passers-by in the morning. At this time of year, we were alone in the parking area.
Work on the parking area is finished! However, it seems difficult to access for larger vehicles due to a tight, narrow bend.
Cannot enter the car park because it is under construction. Big motorhomes will not be able to turn around.
A really nice, quiet place on a road that is easily passable for a standard motorhome. The small parking area is currently under construction, but there is room on both sides of the road.
Park4Night at the end of a track. Uneven ground with an enormous number of mosquitoes—we could not eat outside. Despite this, we slept well, but there was a lot of local traffic, both on foot and by car.
A very quiet place. We spent the night alone, with a few hikers passing in the morning. Access is very easy; the wide, well-maintained gravel road is in good condition. The ground is sloped, but we found a place to settle without using leveling blocks. The setting is magnificent.
Incredible is a slight exaggeration: the ground is sloped. It is simply very well located, next to a golf course and at the starting point for approaching the climbing routes of Mouriès.
Access is not that easy for a 6.70 m motorhome, but it is possible if you drive slowly. The parking area is sloped, but you can manage by using the terrain. Many hikers, horses, tractors, and cars passed until 8 p.m. The night was quiet, with no mosquitoes. Athletes began passing from 6 a.m., followed by cars and hikers. Despite everything, it is not bad.
Very steep and full of grass awns—avoid it if you have a dog—but at the foot of the Jeanjean quarries, a magnificent place for walks. We tried it and preferred to go farther on.
If you have mosquito nets, it can work; otherwise, run away. The ground is very sloped. It is a shame, because the site is quite remote, but there is not much space. We left.
