Van travellers helping each other
A campervan gets in almost everywhere, but not under every height barrier, nor onto every grass pitch after rain. Share what you saw on site.
The good pitches
Hardstanding or grass, shade, electricity, peace and quiet: say what you liked or did not, for those who live in their van.

A photo of your pitch, roof up or down, helps the next traveller choose.

Campsites
For each campsite, what we know about its pitches and facilities, filled in by reviews from people who travel by campervan.
Weighbridges
Bikes, water, gear: a campervan soon reaches its MAM. A public weighbridge gives you the real weight in a few minutes.
Where to store your campervan this winter?
Garages, shelters and secure yards near you to keep your campervan under cover all winter, from private hosts, campsites and businesses.

Does a campervan need a special licence?
No. A campervan or panel van conversion can be driven on licence B as long as its MAM does not exceed 3,500 kg, which is almost always the case.
Can a campervan stay in class 1 at French tolls?
Yes, if it is 2 m high or less and does not exceed 3.5 t: that is the case for some pop-top campervans, roof down. Above 2 m, it goes into class 2.
How much more does class 2 cost than class 1?
About 50 to 65% more depending on the route. From Paris to Lyon, allow €64.30 in class 2 against €41.30 for a car.
Does a panel van conversion have more payload than a motorhome?
Not necessarily: being lighter, it often keeps 400 to 600 kg, but its overhangs are short and the rear axle remains the limit with e-bikes.
Which Crit'Air sticker for a diesel campervan in France?
A category M1 campervan is classed like a car: diesel from 2011 onwards is Crit'Air 2, diesel from 2006 to 2010 is Crit'Air 3. The sticker costs from €3.85 on the official website, and the fine in a French low-emission zone (ZFE) is €68.
