Been here?
A quiet, fairly level parking area with shade under trees and attractive views near the lake. The lake and facilities are nearby, with public toilets about 300m away and toilets and showers reported around 400m away. The entrance has a 2m barrier, making it suitable for vans but unsuitable for taller motorhomes; overnight stays have recently been made for up to 6 nights.

We spent six nights in this parking area; it was great.
Very quiet night and fairly level parking area. Very good.
Quite a nice spot overall. We parked at the back under the trees, with a beautiful view. Lots of vans and cars in August! Wait until 7 p.m. for more peace and quiet once the tourists have left.
We spent one night here without any problems, parked at the back under the trees with shade all day. Entrance height barrier at 2 m. In the morning, we were woken by three hot-air balloons taking off. Spar shop (open at 7:30 a.m. in high season), public toilets about 300 m away. I recommend it.
Fantastic place to stop for the night. We parked in the field and had beautiful views. A lake and facilities are nearby.
Excellent quiet place, very close to toilets and a shower (400 m), as well as local shops. We stayed for two nights without any problems.
Very quiet on the outskirts of town. You can hear the road a little, and currently there is a construction site next door, but only from 8 a.m. You need to be self-sufficient here; there is not even a bin.
Great parking area, with an unobstructed view of the mountains, two minutes from the lake and amenities. We are at the back right of the parking area, in a field. No noise, peace and quiet guaranteed.
Quiet place after 6 p.m. There is traffic noise, but on waking there is a nice view of the lake and its surroundings. Beware of mosquitoes ^^
Very quiet spot from 8 p.m., 400 m from the lake. We had a very good night and excellent 4G.
One day (free all the time) and one night in a van. Four vans and two other vehicles stayed overnight. Height restricted. The road is busy in the evening but quiet at night and in the morning. Very good for a stopover very close to the lake.
*VW Transporter* We parked in parking area 2, in the indicated field, with a 2 m barrier at the entrance. We arrived at 9:30 p.m.; only two vans were set up, and because of the space we were well separated from each other. The only drawback is that the road right next to it is very busy. We sleep with earplugs, so it was not a problem. Also, the view is magnificent and the sunset is incredible!
Several parking areas (there are three). All have a 2 m height barrier. The third parking area has a sign prohibiting motorhomes. I did not try it overnight. We slept in the first one, which is a little less pleasant but partly shaded. Quiet night.
