In the parking lots in the Forest of Fontainebleau, parking is no longer allowed between 22:00 and 6:00. This total parking ban during the nighttime (also for locals who want to walk their dog) was established after the Easter weekend of 2023, during which so many climbers with a campervan were staying in the parking lot of Isatis that it resembled a crowded campground. Emergency roads were blocked, and there were even tents set up next to some campervans.
Although the forest parkings are now closed at night, parking a campervan seems to be tolerated at the parking lots designated for the three bivouacs in the forest. These bivouacs are primarily meant for hikers planning to pitch their tent for a single night. However, this leniency could swiftly end if climbers with campervans overwhelmingly occupy these bivouac parking spaces. Those planning to stay in Fontainebleau for multiple days (2+) or during peak time holidays and weekends (e.g., Easter), should avoid parking at these bivouac parkings and visit a campsite.
Moreover, maintaining cleanliness around the parking areas is crucial. Ensure no litter or toilet paper is left behind. It's recommended to have a toilet(box) in your campervan or utilize public restrooms to uphold environmental respect and cleanliness.
The best place to spend the night with your camper is at one of the many campsites around Fontainebleau. There is also a special camper parking area: Aire de Camping-car Communale de Milly-la-Forêt. Additionally, in France, it is allowed to sleep in your car or (camper)van on public parking lots. You can do this in or around the villages. As a camper owner, you will be familiar with apps where the best spots are shared.
