What a great overnight park up. Didn’t need any water or waste facilities so I didn’t look for them but a lovely quiet rest area prior to the worlds largest Cable supported viaduct. peaceful, safe a few other campers in June freshwater and toilets had a really good night sleep here magnificent views.
Virtually flat car park, toilets very close. Cafe and viaduc exhibition also close. Road noise minimal and amazing view of the bridge. Ignore the 3500kg weight sign as the lorry in the sign indicates goods vehicle restriction only. Large coaches come through. Amazingly we were the only ones parked up overnight.
Great place to spend the night, despite being next to the motorway it was really quiet and peaceful. No HGV allowed so no lorries leaving and raving at all hours. Loos were clean. The waste and fill station was out of order but was no biggy for us, its free !! There are some great dog walks and even a doggy play area. Highly recommend
Superb view of the bridge. Service out of order. Water point and toilet.
The service for emptying grey and black water not available
quiet place with emptying possibility. there was closed for water and toilet emptying. Maybe because of frost.
Separate northbound and southbound parking areas. Unfortunately, everything is sloped. Toilets were dirty. The drinking-water tap at the toilet building has low pressure and can only fill canisters or watering cans. The grey- and black-water disposal tap is protected by an elbow, preventing faecal contamination. Four campers and two cars spent the night on the entire site. Very quiet; the motorway cannot be heard.
There are two completely separate motorhome parking areas, depending on whether you arrive from the north or south on the motorway. We came from the south and therefore stayed on the slightly noisier side. The detour to the viewpoint 50 metres higher, with a great view of the bridge, was worthwhile. Waste and water facilities are freely accessible.
This is probably a good place for services and a for a quick stop along the road, but we didn't find it suitable for staying longer because, in October, it was noisy during the day because it is very close to the highway.
We stopped here on our way south towards Barcelona. It is right beside the A75. It took us to the other side of the parking area, just behind the information building. Free services for motorhomes and public facilities. Bins available. It seems to be a fairly quiet rest area at night.
Motorhome and caravan parking at the Millau Viaduct rest area. Quiet night because it is below the motorway, with little traffic. Magnificent view of the viaduct and valley at sunrise. Restaurant closed in the evening, but breakfast available in the morning. Children’s play area, guided trail and sanitary facilities available.
It deserves to exist, but... it is free only after paying an €18 toll, all the same! And that is only when it is operational.
A perfect motorway rest area with the necessary services for motorhomes. We spent a very calm and peaceful night there and woke to a beautiful view.
Water available with plenty of pressure. Waste disposal possible. Perfect!
We stopped here, paid for the journey, and it is essential to visit the viewpoint too. It is really worth it. The parking area also allows motorhomes to park and provides motorhome services: fresh water, grey-water disposal and toilet waste disposal. There are also toilets, bins and a restaurant. I recommend it. Ania PoProstuKamperem
A very pleasant and well-arranged rest area with a waste-disposal station for motorhomes. This is unique. Food is available on site.
Very quiet night here. Walked to the view point for the bridge. Motorhome services still covered and not available.
Service point still out of order; impossible to find water in this area.
Clean toilets. We slept peacefully without any problems or disturbances.
Great parking area with designated spaces for campers. This area should be approached from the south. From the north, it is better to use the other coordinates. Hiking and cycling trails start there. Small agility area for dogs. Video surveillance sign.
Quiet night, lovely view, the service point is out of order.
Stayed overnight here; toilets clean. Very quiet at night but felt safe. Beautiful view of Millau and the bridge.
Services... out of order! Only grey-water disposal is possible.
We spent a very peaceful night; the police passed by twice. The water was not working, but we were able to empty our tanks. Thanks for this area.
Service working again. We slept here for one night without any problems in November. Quiet and relaxing. The water and disposal station has been changed. It is no longer blue but grey. Grey- and black-water disposal and fresh-water filling are available. Shop closed; opens at 10:00.
