It's a shame that it's neglected, poorly maintained, poorly lit, and dirty. The check-in and check-out time is also inconvenient: 10 a.m., like a hotel. Usually, you arrive at a rest area around lunchtime or early afternoon, then spend the night, and maybe leave the area the next day just after lunch to use the 24 hours you've paid for.

Excellent initiative by the Ropa dealer to create an area equipped for camper parking on the property. The automatic system for access, payment and exit is innovative and perfect. Clean the toilets, showers, sinks, and the loading / unloading area.
