5530C Avenue de Beauregard, 05120, L'Argentière-la-Bessée
Been here?
A modern motorhome park with mountain views and access to the Écrins National Park. Costs €15 per night. Recent visitors report poor maintenance, sloping and uneven pitches, and an unappealing location next to an electric power station. A 5-minute walk to the village provides services, but the overall environment is described as disappointing. The site serves as a practical base for hiking and kayaking access to local attractions despite its drawbacks.

We give it one star because less is impossible. We fled to the campsite farther on. We confirm everything the others have said: an electrical substation in front, a waste area behind, a vandalized car at the entrance, sloping pitches, and local teenagers playing volleyball in the middle of the campsite. It should be closed.Translating
Really dismal area. At the entrance there is a vandalized car; it looks like the site is not old but is not maintained. The power station is right behind the area. On top of that, €15 per night is outrageous.Translating
I was right not to book. Access to the area is via a small sloping road. It is impossible to turn around once you have entered. The site is next to a power station, and the surroundings look more like a dump than a pleasant place. I strongly advise against it. On top of that, €15 per night, plus insurance and taxes… Camping-Car Park is treating us like pigeons.Translating
In fact, the area is a very ugly place, but the facilities work and are well maintained even in winter. We only used the black-water disposal.Translating
Very gloomy area between the national road and the power station, at an exorbitant cost. It is a disgrace. Better to move on and spend our money in a more welcoming municipality.Translating
Good for sleeping one night as a stopover, and even then, because it is in front of the power station and beneath high-voltage lines. Carrefour Market is just across the bridge, and it is quiet at night. Otherwise, nothing exceptional.Translating
Good for its proximity to the village and easy access from the national road. The scenery is not great because of the surrounding electrical installations, but it is fine for one night. The Friday-morning market is small but pleasant.Translating
Today the barrier was closed; paid area requiring a Camping-Car Park card. You have to load at least €10 onto the card. Passing through and needing to return to Italy, we did not use it.Translating
The area is currently free, and the barrier is open. Paved parking without shade or greenery, which is a shame. The footbridge to town is very convenient.Translating
The barrier has been moved; no more free services.Translating
The pitches are not flat and the surroundings may be off-putting, but this area is quiet at night, with a footbridge leading to the village and its shops in five minutes. There are not many other safe places to spend a night in the region.Translating
We stopped to empty the waste water and black water. There is a barrier, but access for emptying is good. It looks like a good place to stop for a couple of days; the pitches are spacious and there is good access to the river.Translating
We stopped here to see if it was possible to use the services without stopping over. There is a barrier but there is also a gravel parking area to the side. The services are available without code or cost even without entering through the barrier. Exceptionally clean and hygienic services to use.
Quiet area; the sun arrives late in the morning. We stopped for one night while passing through. We had difficulty getting the card because it would not accept payment cards. We eventually paid online and collected the card from the terminal. We entered, but lost half an hour. On the plus side, we now have the card. We had not yet visited France by camper, and this solution is quite convenient.Translating
Despite having a valid and loaded Camping-Car Park card, we could not enter the almost empty site. A message said to call a number, but nobody answered. There was no way to get in, so after struggling for a long time we had to give up.Translating
No access possible for using the facilities only.Translating
Beautiful pitches, very little shade, with a view of the Durance and… the power station. The filling water runs very, very slowly, but the station is operational. Access to the town center is five minutes via the footbridge at the end of the area.Translating
