City campgrounds – While there are loads of European campgrounds in the countryside, there are also plenty of in and around the major cities. Although most city campgrounds are on the edge of town, count on a 30–45 minute bus or subway ride to the historic centres.
Campground guide – A good campground guide is essential for locating places where you want to stay. Another essential item to get before you leave is an International Camping card. This provides admittance to most campgrounds and in some cases at reduced rates. The International Camping card is held by the campground instead of your passport. Don’t leave home without it.

Free Camping – Aires de Service (service areas) are places designated for the parking and servicing of RVs. They are very common in France and are available to a lesser extent in several other European countries (e.g. Germany, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. Norway, Sweden) Aires provide free or very cheap RV parking and often services like drinking water, grey and black water and garbage disposal, but rarely electricity. No trailers or tents are allowed. Items should not be set up outside one’s RV (e.g. no awnings, folding tables, chairs, or clothes lines.) Aires are usually provided by cities, towns, or businesses to encourage visitors and patronage. Provided a parking place for RVs also discourages visitors from parking overnight on the streets, and concentrates them in a particular area.
Wild Camping – Camping in the countryside or wilderness settings is a great way to get close to nature. It allows us to stay close to parks, mountains, beaches or other places of natural beauty and outdoor recreation.
In addition to campgrounds and Aires, it is sometimes possible to stay on private land (e.g. farms, wineries, churches, monasteries, restaurant parking lots, etc.) In these cases permission should be obtained from the owner, which is sometimes difficult to do if they are not to be found or you don’t share a common language.
