Really nice place! Numerous picnic tables, dry toilets or a conventional toilet at the start of the adventure course, bins, views of the lake and mountains, and hiking trails starting here. €12 for 24 hours or €9 for 18 hours. The only issue was the municipal police officer who told us overnight stays were forbidden; only the La Tania parking area is authorized. We saw no sign prohibiting vans or motorhomes.
perfect spot! we were here for two nights. great for hiking. so peaceful, even though it looks like perfect tourist spot it is not crowded at all.
Excellent: barbecue, toilet, spring water. Ideal for one night close to nature with your loved one.
Great place, also suitable for children. Wonderful nearby hike plus a climbing course! €12 per day, but worth every cent.
Peaceful night here, no problems. It’s a lovely setting and even more tranquil when the day visitors leave in the late afternoon
A pleasant surprise. Paid, but very quiet and in a nice setting, with activities for the day. Great with a van and children. We were pleasantly surprised by the place.
Excellent parking area in the middle of nature with superb views. Numerous hiking trails for all levels. Dogs are welcome on a leash.
Beautiful place to spend the night. Toilets, water and bins available. €12 for 24 hours during July and August. Quiet in the evening and crowded during the day.
A new concept that I discovered the hard way. You pay €12 for 24 hours, and then a very friendly municipal employee comes to tell you that the municipality does not allow motorhomes to spend the night there!
Very beautiful spot, with a lake below and a magnificent view. Bins nearby, water point, toilets, and picnic tables set back in the forest. Paid, but we did not pay for the night, only for the day.
Great spot outside the season, as it must be packed in summer. We spent two peaceful nights here. The facilities are designed for comfort. Numerous walks nearby.
Superb spot. We spent several peaceful nights here with our motorhome during this period. Magnificent setting, lots of child-friendly walks, picnic tables and barbecues everywhere—remember the charcoal—and many lovely waterfalls. In short, a true piece of paradise.
Very beautiful motorhome site and a good starting point for many hikes. Great view of the lake. During the season it is certainly less quiet because it is a popular destination. We were there at the end of September and almost alone. There are a few level pitches; the rest are slightly sloping. The toilet is okay and waste disposal is available. No fee was due when we visited.
Very pleasant spot during the day. Quite a few activities and reasonable prices: €3 for the day and €10 for the night; you can cheat and avoid paying. Adventure course, via ferrata, snacks and toilets directly accessible.
Nice place to spend the night. The only unpleasant thing was the garbage collection early in the morning, and beware of odors in the toilets.
Really great, peaceful and close to many hiking trails. It seems to be paid in summer, but we saw no one at the entrance, so it was free, which is even better. Some pitches are level and others slightly sloping.
A quiet night in an absolutely magnificent setting. Although marked as costing €3, the booth was closed and the parking was free overnight. It is beautiful and has amenities, water, a restaurant, activities, a large self-service fire pit and barbecues. Camping is allowed by the lake until 8 a.m. In short, a must-visit for us!
We spent the day and night there. Great, well-equipped place with many hiking trailheads. From 7 p.m. onward, we were alone in the large parking area and had a very peaceful night.
