64310, Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle
Been here?
A small, quiet and shaded wild spot with several places along a steep, uneven, gravelly path, suitable for vans. Access requires careful, slow driving, with potholes and stones, and there are no amenities. Recent visitors encountered several Asian hornets attacking their vehicle, so particular caution is needed. The area can become busy, and older comments report hunting and motocross noise at certain times.

Warning: we arrived at this spot a few minutes ago, at 12:30 a.m. on the night of 14 July 2026. Several vehicles were already there. As soon as we arrived, our vehicle was attacked by several Asian hornets, so we immediately left for another place. Be careful; there are most likely one or more nests in the trees!Translating
Very good, clean and quiet... however, the road took some time, lol. There are large potholes and stones, but we still managed it with a Ford Focus.Translating
Great peaceful and cool place. Very little traffic, in the middle of nature. Do not hesitate to go a little farther than the first pitches.Translating
Very quiet evening and night; woke up to a superb view, birds and nature... then at 8 a.m. numerous hunters arrived with groups of dogs and bells, shooting in every direction, plus a very noisy motocross track. We left for our safety because of the gunfire. P.S. public holiday Tuesday.Translating
Very quiet and pleasant. Please be careful to preserve biodiversity; we saw a beautiful salamander!Translating
There are hornets, but they are peaceful. Much better than ground wasps or bees. ;) The place is very beautiful, sheltered and quiet. However, if rain is expected, as it was for us, I would be a little cautious about driving down. We will see tomorrow whether we can still get out with our front-wheel-drive Fiat Ducato 2.5-litre motorhome. I like this place better than the last one where everyone goes. :)Translating
Quiet spot just beneath the oak tree—only two hornets in a few hours and very slight buzzing from the electrical cables. Bring all necessary equipment because there are no amenities on site.Translating
AVOID—INFESTED WITH HORNETS! Very popular spot. We spent the night with four vehicles, but had no choice because all the spots along the road were already occupied.Translating
Very quiet place, good for one night, but it was full, so we parked at the entrance on the side. All the other nearby places were also full. Not very clean, but useful in a pinch.Translating
Dirty! Toilet paper and faeces at the foot of the spot! The five nearby spots are full, so arrive early. Quiet night with no traffic. Good spot.Translating
Quiet and peaceful place, shaded and very pretty! A nice flat area for a quiet night in a van with three children. No access problems for a van; you simply have to drive very slowly. The only drawback was a hornet visiting in the morning and evening, probably from the nearby listed site with a hornet nest, but that is nature!Translating
Incredible spot in the middle of nature with several places to park along the track, but we were bothered far too much by horseflies! It was impossible to stay outside. The access track is stony, but easily manageable if you drive slowly.Translating
Very pleasant, in the middle of nature and well shaded! There are indeed occasional unpleasant smells, but they remain bearable.Translating
Great place in the middle of nature; we came back for two evenings in a row! There are often other vans nearby because there are several nice spots, but this one remains the best because it is shaded on hot nights. We did not experience any unpleasant smells as mentioned in other comments. The access track is bumpy but passable. I highly recommend this place.Translating
A quiet and beautiful place in itself. It provides plenty of shade, so you can sleep late even on hot summer days. Unfortunately, it was a little too noisy for us, with lots of animal sounds and road noise.Translating
There was already one truck. We parked along the path beside it, where two vans could fit easily. Quiet and shaded place. Perfect for one night.Translating
