The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Free parking at the foot of Rochefort's historic Transbordeur bridge with dedicated camper spaces. Easy access via commercial area (dead-end street), public water tap and supermarket nearby. Quiet in the evening after bridge closure (7 pm). Perfect base for exploring the town on foot (30 min) or bike, including the royal ropeworks and local heritage. Recently renovated public toilets.
