The Camper’s take
Lakeside parking at Lac de Charpal in Natura 2000 zone. Two levels: upper car park (lake views), dedicated CC parking 200 m below (quieter). Access via rough track but passable. Dry toilets (often closed). Main attraction: scenic 9 km lake loop walk/MTB highly praised. Very crowded peak season, peaceful off-season. No-kill fishing only. No potable water or facilities.
Highlights
- Spectacular 9 km loop around the lake, popular for hiking and mountain biking
- Exceptionally peaceful at night, away from daytime crowds
- Stunning night sky with stars and the Milky Way
- Beautiful natural setting in a protected area
Good to know
- Bumpy track with potholes, in poor condition in winter
- Dry toilets very often closed or out of service
- No drinking water available
- Parking often overcrowded in peak season (confusion with motorhome parking)
- Swimming prohibited in the lake
Motorhome access : Bumpy access track about 300 m long with potholes. Dedicated campervan parking 200 m further down, flat and easy to maneuver. Upper parking also available (for cars) but can get confusing with passing vehicles in peak season.
