The Camper’s take

Updated June 2026

Free natural parking area by Lake Pareloup, 5-minute walk via forest path. Flat, grassy terrain accommodating 4-10 vehicles. Road-side but quiet at night. Easy access, no barriers. Cold toilets/showers 300 m away (low season only). Calm atmosphere off-season, variable in summer. Slurry odours reported. Dogs prohibited at lake; cyanobacteria often present.

Highlights

  • Close to the lake with small scenic walking paths
  • Very quiet in low season with little nighttime traffic

Good to know

  • Lake often unusable (cyanobacteria, dog restrictions)
