Me and wife thinking of taking the camper on a euro trip not decided finally either across northern Spain down toward Portugal or going across to Austria /Czech republic area ?
Not sure which regions holds best options for campervan stays be it paid or free sites? Which roads are easiest to negotiate limiting Toll costs ?
But I guess as 1st timer in campervan which is better suited, I have driven in Europe a few times many many years ago
We are currently in southern Spain, nearly 3 weeks into an 8 week trip round Spain and Portugal in a generally clockwise direction.
We never pay tolls. I love the views and relaxed nature of driving through Spain and France at a leisurely pace.
Plenty of free aires in France, some even have free EHU.
Spain has loads of free autocaravas areas. We are using one now facing the beach in Toremolinos. Most are free. This one is two euros per 24 hours.
Many have free water/waste/toilet emptying. Some have nothing or any combination.
Some are horrible dumps and best avoided.
Some of the nicest are in the small towns and villages where they want to encourage you to go and spend money.
We mainly use Search for Sites app to navigate our journey.
We use a campsite every three or four nights.
In Spain most autocaravanas areas don’t permit camping behaviour, so you can’t get chairs out etc.
Taken about 10 minutes ago.
Don’t stress, get in the van and set off. The only thing we had booked was the ferry Newhavem to Dieppe.
