It’s decided: Are you attempting the great adventure in a specialized vehicle? Before you start, discover sites and apps to find camper areas.

Going on a camper or in a furnished van is a unique experience. Let things be clear: you are no longer a Lambda traveler, you are part of a group apart. And as in all groups, there are little tips to know. For example, what are the secrets to deny every night the ideal spot...

You want to know them? Without further delay, here are the 11 best sites and apps to find camping-car areas!

1. Park4night

Park4nigh is the ultimate app to find camper areas and this, all over the world! Of course, some countries are less provided in info, but the Park4night community remains the most active anywhere.

Research can be done by criteria and an interactive map is available. Each user can bring his stone to the building: camper area, spot in the middle of nature, water recharge, laundry, picnic area, etc.

In addition, you can download the card to use it offline. All vanlifers will tell you: impossible to get away!

2. Google Maps and Maps.me

You already know them, but if you plan to go on a camper or a fitted van, you will eventually know them by heart.

These two applications are essential to find camper areas. Especially in countries where community apps and sites like Park4night are missing! And even more in areas where areas do not exist, to find hotels or restaurants where to park.

Good to know: if Google Maps is richer in info, some countries block the application. Hence the use of Maps.me!

3. Caramaps

In the same way as Google Maps and Maps.me, we find Caramaps. Except this time, the app is specialized on the world of camping-car! Everywhere in Europe and even more, you can find an interactive map of camping-car areas close to you.

Little more: a filter allows you to refine your search according to the type of area you want!

4. iOverlander

The iOverlander app is a real mess with all types of travellers. It lists service areas, campsites, hotels, wild spots, service stations and much more. And this, all over the world!

You can download information from a given area as soon as you have Wi-Fi, then enjoy it offline. In short, it is a must.

5. Aires v.car

This French app is managed by Camping-car Magazine. If the name doesn’t tell you anything, you should know that we’re talking about the first French media on the theme of the camper.

Unlike Park4Night, it targets above all motorhomes. Ideal, therefore, to find camping-car areas and paid service areas. If it is not possible to propose new areas, you can add photos and comments.

6. Camping-car d’hôtes

Camping-car d’hôtes is a concept based on conviviality. It allows you to find motorhomes throughout France by staying at the home.

Parkings are grouped into three categories: free, with participation (maximum 15 euros) and exchange. In the latter case, you have the opportunity to spend the night at an aubergist, in a museum or a castle in exchange for their performance.

7. Camping-car Park

The site and the Camping-car Park app reference French campsites and campsites. They allow you to find a parking space where you can recharge your batteries, make your water and empty your camper.

Prices and options are displayed very clearly, allowing you to quickly find the ideal camper area.

8. HomeCamper

HomeCamper makes it possible to park its motorhome at the inhabitant. The site and the application have a large number of ads, especially in France. A beautiful alternative to make local meetings and travel otherwise... However, outside of tourist areas, rates are not always interesting, especially for the services offered.

9. Wwoof

Here is an alternative to applications to find a camper area. Indeed, for many vanlifers , the woofing offers beautiful opportunities to travel otherwise.

How does it work? You take part in work on a farm. In return, you are housed, fed, bleached! For those who want to dive into local life and meet, it is an ideal solution. But of course, you must like to work the earth and have time in front of yourself.

10. The world of camping-car

The world of motorhomes has a large number of motorhomes in the French territory. An interactive map allows you to quickly find its happiness.

If this is not the richest database, it can sometimes troubleshoot. Especially since the site is supported by a very good knowledge of this particular universe. And by a rather active community!

11. France Passion

Let's finish this top of the best apps and sites to find camping-car areas with a concept a little apart. France Passion has many exclusive stages. They are offered by passionate hosts, who in addition to providing you a quality place will share with you the particularities of their region.

Useful information, tastings, meetings... All you need is an autonomous motorhome, as well as a guide to the stages of the current year. It's yours for 30 euros.
