There are several ways to find parking spots:
1. Numerous aggregator sites. For example,
camping.info or
pitchup.com — these are the sites with the most convenient navigation for finding paid options. On
ioverlander.com and
park4night.com you can find free parking — specify the country, dates and type of accommodation, as well as the number of people in a special form. If there are children, they may be asked to indicate their age. In some aggregators, as in camping.info you can filter the results by the number of stars (like hotels), the set of services, location, and other parameters.
2. Search by POI (points of interest) in the GPS navigator. Download the coordinates of the campsites through a special website, for example,
archiescampings.eu. Then import it into Google Earth and see the results on the map.
3. Search on
Google maps. Open the desired area, type "camping" in the search bar, filter by rating and opening hours if desired. The "Search in this area" button appears at the top in the middle of the screen, click and then the results will be marked on the map.
4. Follow the signs on the road. If you turn the trip into an adventure, rather than planning stops in advance. This method is not the easiest — it will not always be possible to find free places the first time.
