How to locate a bucolic camp site when on the road in the EU? - Vehicles Parked on Camp Site

Is there a way to identify a bucolic camping when you are on the road and you don't manage to reach you final destination in one day. I usually have camping gear with me, but when I need to spent the night due to some delay in the trip, I always find that search quite challenging.

I usually end up in an over expensive road hotel or some dodgy camping with quite uncomfortable tent places (e.g. rocks, roots, etc).

Sometimes I end up in a very idyllic spot. It would be so awesome if there exists a standardised way to find these bucolic campings when one needs one nearby.



Best Answer

The ACSI Eurocampings site has a pretty comprehensive search engine and an app to find campsites.

Answer 2

If you can read Dutch, you can use the website Rustiek kamperen, or buy some of their books to bring along. You might have to make quite a detour to pass by one of the campgrounds listed in them, though.
