This was the campsite.

Camping Le grillon montoulieu cévennes en hérault - Bienvenue à Montoulieu en Cévennes

Dans le sud de la France, au milieu des vignobles de la région Languedoc-Roussillon, entre garrigue et Camargue, à mi-chemin entre le Mont Aigoual (...)

The English couple who were held at knifepoint and had everything of value stolen while they watched on returned to the campsite the following year because the mayor and people in the village were so generous to them after it happened.

We have heard other stories, such as people having their tent canvass slashed and trousers (containing wallet) snatched.

Feel sorry for them. Still don’t get your point; you can be robbed everywhere, of course but choosing for places which even the police advise against staying overnight there is not smart. I have heard also a lot about the robberies at night at parkings along highways and péages; from people who got robbed themselves and from the police.
We stay overnight at camperplaces that we find with the mentioned apps.
Greetings and have lovely and safe holidays.

What gas would they use?

They wouldn’t, it’s way to expensive now
