Planning and Travel

Basic rules of camping

• Where can we park for overnight stays – in Bulgaria and Europe it's allowed to stay overnight in campsites and at special places for campers. Avoid parking in prohibited areas or private properties without permission.
• How to find camping spots – use apps like Park4Night and Campercontact. They have information about campsites, parking areas and service stations.
• Campsite etiquette – respect your neighbors, keep quiet in the evening and morning, don't leave trash, clean up after yourself and follow campsite rules.

How to plan your camper adventure

• Route – plan your stops in advance, but leave room for spontaneous decisions.
• Apps – Park4Night and Campercontact will help you discover campsites, overnight areas and water disposal spots.
• Travel time – drive shorter distances to have time to enjoy the place.

Expenses

• Campsite fees – vary according to season and services (20–50 euros/night). Always check what's included.
• Fuel – average consumption 8–11 l/100 km depending on route and speed.
• Paid parking and highways – some countries charge vignettes or toll fees. Campers are charged as cars. Check requirements for the country you'll be passing through.

Where and how to refuel

• Usually diesel – campers are refueled with diesel.
• AdBlue – some campers require AdBlue. If the onboard computer gives an error, you can buy a tube from most gas stations.

Wi-Fi / internet

• E-SIM cards – convenient options are apps like Revolut or Airalo, which offer cheap mobile plans.
• Local cards – for longer stays it may be profitable to buy a prepaid card from a local operator.

Gas bottle refilling

If the gas runs out, bottles are refilled at specialized stations at gas stations. In apps like Park4Night you can see where there are stations. Usually one bottle lasts more than 1-2 weeks.

Traveling with children/animals

• Children – always use child seats appropriate for the child's age and size.
• Animals – traveling with pets is possible only after prior inquiry. During movement the animal must be tied or in a transport cage. It's not allowed to go on beds and sofas – provide your own bed or basket.
