Campsite, parking space or wild camping?
If you want to make maximum use of the freedom of camping, you can plan on a daily basis which campsite or parking space you will be resting on in the evening. But that can also have its pitfalls: Especially in the high season, many good campsites are fully booked weeks in advance - and even a simple parking space is difficult to get in popular holiday regions.
Our recommendation: Check in advance which places are on your preferred route and make reservations at least during the peak travel season.
Practical Apps for pitches and campsites can help you to make a pre-selection and, if necessary, to get a free place on site. Try for example StayFree, park4night and parking lot radar off. It is also useful to check the ratings of previous guests. Are you in RV with dog on the go, you should pay particular attention to the campsites where four-legged friends are welcome.
Pitches with supply stations are perfectly adequate for a short overnight stay. If you want a little more comfort or want to stay longer in one place, we recommend a fully-fledged campsite with sanitary facilities. On the other hand, if you want to experience pure nature, wild camping is the motto. But be careful: It is not allowed in every country - it is best to find out in advance.
