A roadside spot beside a canal and forest, with a willow tree and pleasant walks nearby. The road is loud and busy from 7h to 22h, though it is quieter overnight. Police recently stated that camping there was not permitted, so overnight stays are not allowed.

It’s a nice spot but it is next to a loud road which was ok for one night. We slept well under the willow tree. Around 9 in the morning the police came to tell us we could not camp there. We got lucky I guess.
Really right beside the road, so it is not peaceful at all, even when I parked under the tree beside the canal. On the other hand, there is a great walk along the canal and through the forest.
We spent the night there and were even treated to the roar of a stag at the end of September or beginning of October. We also saw deer passing 50 meters from the van! The road is busy from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.; otherwise, the rest of the night is fairly quiet.
A lot of traffic until late at night and early in the morning—terrible for sleeping.
Huge site, enough room for everyone. Traffic decreases in the evening.
