The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Mountain parking beside Étang du Coucou lake, on compacted gravel. Remote and very peaceful weekday location, ideal for hikers with direct trail access to several circuits. Picnic tables available, no mobile signal. Day-time visitor traffic from walkers; nearby scouts' camp can generate noise on weekends. Camping-car access reasonable but approach road narrow. Community waste management essential.
Highlights
- Exceptional natural setting, very peaceful on weekdays and late afternoons
- Starting point for many marked hikes (Salm Castle, Hautes Chaumes, La Chatte Pendue)
- Flat and stable ground, good motorhome access.
- Modest but adequate facilities (picnic tables, pond)
Good to know
- No services available (water, electricity, toilets, bins); self-managed
- Narrow access road, limited maneuvering and tricky passing
- No mobile signal and poor coverage
- Busy on weekends and public holidays; potentially noisy summer camp
Motorhome access : Access possible but the approach road is narrow (difficult to pass). Flat and stable terrain, easy parking once on site.
