Accommodation & Campsites

Not all camping happens in campgrounds, sometimes the best nights are spent in someone’s garden or on a scenic private spot. Use apps like Park4Night, and iOverlander to find official and wild camping areas across Europe, all reviewed by the road-trip community. For more unique stays, check out marketplaces like Welcome to My Garden (free private gardens ) and You and a View for peaceful, private camping on local land.
