What a joy to be able to park and sleep peacefully among the vineyards! Many thanks to the municipality for offering us this wonderful spot…
Wonderful, idyllic location and very peaceful. Free, but with no facilities whatsoever. We love places like this.
Wonderful place completely surrounded by vineyards.
A very beautiful and peaceful spot in the middle of the vineyards. No services, but that is not a problem if you are fully self-sufficient.
Incredible spot below the castle, in the middle of the vineyards. Two large picnic tables. Space for 7 vehicles. No bins on site.
Unobstructed view of the vineyards and the castle. Very peaceful!
Very beautiful spot surrounded by vineyards with a view of the castle.
Beautiful view of Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle. Many thanks to the municipality for this parking area. There are beautiful hikes starting from the village.
Great camping spot, thank you. There are also a few more in this wonderful town.
Ideally located. Magnificent viewpoint. Extremely peaceful. About 7 motorhomes can stay here. Village shops—a small supermarket and many local wine sellers—are within walking distance. Highly recommended.
A truly great place and, above all, an official free camper parking area surrounded by vineyards and not far from Haut-Koenigsbourg. It is probably popular for that reason. We were lucky to get a spot. Thank you to the municipality for this wonderful place for campers!
Great parking area but extremely overcrowded. You have to arrive early to get a free space. The view is wonderful!
A very peaceful night spent among the vineyards. Only the passing tractors might be disturbing, and even that is minor… We arrived quite late and there were two motorhomes next to us. We recommend this place.
A dreamy place, truly wonderful.
Excellent, obviously in the off-season. Thanks to the municipality.
One of our favourite spots and still as nice as ever. We had the place to ourselves this evening.
Night of February 9, 2026. In the fog. Super quiet! Very good.
Great for one night, with a picnic table. Relatively quiet. There are possibilities for beautiful walks, including one that takes you directly to the castle—for the more adventurous.
We spent one night at this place. Fantastic; in the morning we saw a splendid sunrise.
We spent a night completely alone in the greatest tranquility. The beautiful place is full of vineyards, with the castle crowning the mountain.
Very quiet place with a magnificent view.
Small and lovely, in the middle of the vineyards, with a beautiful view and very peaceful.
Magnificent location. Too bad the Haut-Koenigsbourg road is very close, as is the small road along the parking area.
We arrived there on October 15, 2025, at 4:45 p.m., but unfortunately the place was completely full. It looks like a beautiful spot among the vineyards. We drove on to Saint-Hippolyte, Rue de la Montée, site code #59884. A wonderfully peaceful place.
There were already 7 campers at 5 p.m., so anyone wanting to spend the night here should arrive on time. Tomorrow there is a wine festival in the village, so we can taste the new wine again. There are also other places nearby.
Very beautiful, peaceful place among the vineyards. Therefore also very popular; today the parking area was full at 5:45 p.m.
A very beautiful place among the vineyards. It is very popular. We had a very peaceful night. You can hike through the vineyards along the trail up to the castle; simply follow the yellow signs. The path is easy, but be careful on the way back to keep looking for the yellow signs so you do not get lost.
We spent a fantastic and very peaceful night surrounded by vineyards, together with 8 vehicles. There is one large picnic table, and that is all. Highly recommended; we would return. One of the best places we have stayed in the area.
Simply a wonderful place. Sleeping among the grapevines, completely surrounded by vineyards. The view from your bedroom of Château Haut-Kœnigsbourg is fantastic. The 360° view all around is amazing. No traffic noise—what more could you want? Five stars, top spot.
Thanks to the municipality and the winegrowers for allowing motorhome travelers to park and admire Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle from below. The visit was very good, with a beautiful landscape among the vineyards. Pure happiness with this view and tranquility.
Magnificent view of the castle, surrounded by vineyards; the area is superb. Saint-Hippolyte is a lovely little village with an excellent butcher that also serves lunch. Thanks to the municipality!
A lovely 360° view in the middle of the vineyards. A great discovery after having difficulty finding parking in the villages along the wine route. Thanks to the municipality.
Thank you to the municipality of Saint-Hippolyte for allowing us to park here. Thank you for keeping it clean…
Very pleasant, peaceful place with a view of the castle. No services. We climbed up to the castle. Thanks to the municipality.
Because of the noise from a tractor in the vineyard right nearby from 6:30 a.m. on Whit Monday, only 3 stars. Eleven motorhomes push the site to its spatial limits. Levelling chocks are required. Otherwise, beautifully located as described.
Superb. Magnificent view of Haut-Koenigsbourg. Peaceful.
We arrived around 8:30 p.m. and the parking area was full, with about 12 motorhomes. There was no room for us. The parking area itself is very conveniently located in a beautiful spot.
Beautiful place, dark and peaceful night, perfect spot for getting up early and climbing up to see the castle.
The camping spot is beautiful. The views in all four directions are simply breathtaking, and you can take a one-hour hike up to the castle. There is a free public toilet in the village.
