I have a problem knowing what diffent types of sites there are in Europe, (France) Perhaps someone can explain the diferences
There appears to be
(1) Normal Sites like the UK ?
These are mainly commercial sites but range from large to one corner of a farmer's field
(2) Municipal ?? what are these ?
Owned and run by the local village or town. They range from quite basic, site yourself to quite big and organised. Generally we have found them very good and use them a lot.
(3) Aires ?? Motorway ones ?? (Must be avoided Theft etc)
Like motorway service stations in UK ( ie garage, restaurant etc) or aire de repos -areas on the motorway every 20 or so km where you can stop and picnic sometimes with loo and seating but often little else. Some people stay overnight with no problem, others have had thefts etc
(4) Aires ?? In small towns/villages ??
Again, usually set up by the municipality to encourage tourists. Vary from marked pitches with water, dump point etc to small corners of the sports field. Usually you can stay overnight but not always. Sometimes charged, often not.
(5) And places where you can empty/fill with water etc
Bornes etc where you can fill up with water, dump waste and sometimes recharge batteries. Sometimes you can stay overnight or even longer but not always. Some charge a few euros, others do not.
(6) Etapes (people suggest i buy the Official etapes Guide for camping-cars) what are these
A list of all above aires and bornes and some municipals in France and Europe. Available from French supermarkets or via Amazon France.
See the campsites section of MHF for better explanations and examples.
