A yard with junk, trash, a shed with campers parked in a static state, and other scattered campers that look like junk... It made a terrible impression, so we ran away. There's a water loading and unloading point. It's a shame it's not maintained, because it has great potential!

Area managed by the Municipality, mixed between camper and truck storage, quite scruffy and just enough electricity for the fridge. Quite close to the center, but €25 in August for what it offers is too much...

I confirm the recent reviews. Area left to itself. No service apart from loading-unloading, the electricity does not even support the fridge. Gypsies or sedentaries as they call them. € 25.00 per night, a theft!

A few connections to the current exceeding 2 Ampere. Those few are occupied by permanent campers who claim the priority of use. Free place in the evening, claimed occupied for a year the next morning by a sedentary who "kindly" asked me to move. Usable services by asking the keys to the caretaker.
