CAMPSITES &
AIRES 2006 |
|
Here is a list of the campsites and aires we stayed at during our
2006 tour. The standard of campsites was generally good. Many sites abroad seem
to have a mixture of touring and static caravans often hidden by wooden
"awnings" so you wouldn't know there was a caravan underneath
it!
There were plenty of aires
in France and stellplatz in Germany, at least in the main tourist areas but
sometimes they were difficult to find despite having their co-ordinates and
satnav.
detailed lists of Aires and Stellplatz with GPS
co-ords and photos
We
downloaded the lists from the useful website www.womo-sp.de.ms and
imported them into Microsoft® Autoroute 2005
denotes a site in the ACSI camping
card scheme with low season price of 10, 12 or 14€, + tourist tax (some
sites)
