Unnamed Road, 51160, Hautvillers
Been here?
Wild spot in middle of vineyards near Épernay with stunning, expansive views. Almost flat, sunny clearing with no shade; spacious for several vans. Access via D386 from Hautvillers; D1 route impassable (gravel). Private property but tolerated if respectful and discreet. Overnight stays can be quiet, though a main road nearby brings some traffic. Vineyard workers operate year-round and may ask to move. Windy location with no utilities; keep site clean.

A very pleasant place among the vineyards! Definitely worth discovering.
Lovely, almost flat place. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is not the best spot: a nearby main road has a lot of traffic. Please leave the place clean.
We drove up without any problems in a 7-meter campervan via D386. What a beautiful view—truly breathtaking. We had a very peaceful night and were completely alone. Early in the morning, a farmer, who was very friendly by the way, asked whether we could move to the other side so they could continue working undisturbed. Highly recommended! Don’t be put off. There is a very accessible road.
Great place. We were there with two other campers and had a quiet, peaceful night.
Beautifully situated, windier than in the valley. Tip: read the other comments, as they contain very good descriptions and advice for getting there.
A great viewpoint for a one-night stop. The space is large and easily accessible via the upper road. I was a little worried about the road passing not far away, but the night was quiet. You can enjoy a sunny clearing among the vineyards, but there is no shade.
Superb view in a peaceful setting.
Fantastic place, surrounded by vineyards on all sides, with a beautiful view and very peaceful ❤️ There are no facilities whatsoever; it remains an open location in the middle of nature and is actually private property. Please behave discreetly and respectfully and help preserve beautiful places like this for future visitors! We will definitely return.
Private but tolerated. Respect the place. Thank you.
Very beautiful, flat spot in the middle of the vineyards. Be aware that vineyard workers work all year round maintaining the vines, so don’t be surprised if they ask you to move. By talking to them, we learned that this place is private and our presence is merely tolerated. Let’s respect their work and the place.
Stunning area. A couple of other vans here but spacious enough to maintain privacy. Make sure you approach from D386 Hautvillers as we found the road off the D1 inaccessible due to excess gravel.
Very beautiful place with a magnificent view and peace and quiet.
Fabulous and peaceful. Would do it again. Not very easy to access, but worth it.
Absolutely extraordinary! Spend the night here and even saw the moon rise over the vineyards as we shared a meal with fellow travellers. Will remember this spot for a long time!
Great place, very quiet and far from the roads. A wonderful self-sufficient stay.
Wonderful place! Beautiful views, very peaceful and safe.
Magnificent place in the middle of the vineyards with a 360-degree panorama. We were alone for the night, and the winegrowers kindly did not start their tractors until around 8:30 a.m. To get there, a tip: go via Hautvillers.
Nice place among the fields, but very busy.
A five-star open-air hotel—we loved it! Nature, among the vineyards, close to the village, clean, with a magnificent sunrise and sunset view. Easy access.
It is a wonderful place to spend the night, among the vineyards. Sometimes a farmer drives past, but they greet you kindly. Sometimes there are other campers, but not always. I think everyone with a camper would like to camp this way. Beautiful. Hautvillers is within walking distance, and you are surrounded by Moët & Chandon vineyards.
Quiet place, slept well, beautiful view, close to the town, recommended.
Beautiful sunset. You do need to be able to cope with the workers starting work at 7 a.m. :)
Very beautiful and peaceful place, with no services or bins. The winegrower arrived at 7:45 a.m.
Great place among the vineyards, offering a magnificent sunset. It is elevated, so it can be a little windy. As two women, we felt safe there. A winegrower arrived to treat the vines at 7 a.m., but it was not a problem because that was when we wanted to leave.
Very beautiful, spacious spot right in the middle of the vineyards—perfect for spending a night.
We stayed here 2 nights with a couple other vans. Very peaceful and quiet, no one else around and amazing views over the vineyards.
Peaceful and relaxing spot. Easily accessible for large motorhomes!
Superb place, magnificent view, complete peace and quiet, and a beautiful sunset. Space for several motorhomes, although we were alone.
We spent one night there after visiting a restaurant in Epernay. Approach from the north. Since the place is elevated, it can be very windy, but the advantage is that there are no mosquitoes.
We spent two nights there, with only one van alongside us. Very peaceful. At first, Waze took us along an uphill path between the vineyards. You need a 4x4 to access it. We turned around and used this famous path, which can damage bumpers. We managed without problems, but we recommend accessing it very easily via Rue des Côtes de l’Héry.
Very nice camping spot. Tip: drive toward the site via Les Montecuelles. If you come from Reims, Waze sends you along a very bumpy road, not recommended without a 4x4.
Extraordinary. Do not follow the GPS directions, as they take you up a dirt track. There is easy access from the upper road. Although the area is spacious, with more than two vehicles we could obstruct workers passing with machinery from early morning. It would be a shame if such a beautiful place closed because of interference with vineyard work.
Pleasant place among the vineyards. Bring mosquito repellent anyway. Easy access via Rue des Côtes de l’Héry.
Magnificent place worthy of a 5/5, but we gave it 2/5 because of the access road! You have to take a hairpin bend that is known to cause problems. We badly damaged our rear bumper! Be very careful; you need to access it via another road!
Indeed, it is best to enter from the village. At 9 p.m. we were the first there with our 6-meter coachbuilt motorhome. Two more vans arrived after us.
