1. Randeris Bison - Wake up to coffee and... Bison?
It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you are thinking of motorhome camping in Denmark. But in the North West of Denmark it is actually very normal. At an almost completely level gravel site you look out over green meadows full of grazing bison. And for the connoisseur traveler, you can buy bison meat too. It's a quiet, small-scale motorhome stopover with sublime facilities, according to the reviews.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Beautiful location, overlooking the bison. Friendly owners who are proud to tell you about their passion. There is also a small farm shop where you can buy bison meat. Sanitary facilities are nice, new and clean.' - Girafje25
2. Drive to the end of the world to camp at North Cape
Do you like to take the high road? Then a trip to the North Cape is the ultimate must-see motorhome experience. Everything in Norway is breathtakingly beautiful, but while you are in the area make sure to head up to the highest and northernmost point in the country. There is a free parking spot and a museum to visit. The view as you see in the picture is not guaranteed. But even if it is foggy weather it is incredibly impressive to stand on the edge of the world. Even the drive towards it is spectacular and worth it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'The last 80 kilometres to the North Cape are magnificent. We almost didn't go, thinking it would be too crowded. But we did and were glad we did. There were no charges for parking or staying overnight, only for visiting the buildings there.' - Oscarben
3. Pick your spot at Støylen Camping
From Norway's northernmost point we descend to a campsite a little further south. Situated along a stretch of water, the Åraksfjord lake, this site offers opportunities for different water sports. You could go kayaking, paddleboarding or swimming. And here you get to decide where you want to park up. Whether that is close to the mountains or next to the lake, is up to you. This is a real gem on the N9 for the lovers of mountains and water. Oftentimes there is plenty of room at the campsite to pick a nice and quiet spot.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Beautiful, spacious campsite. New and very clean toilets. You can go wherever you like as long as there is space. Pay/pin on the wall, works great! We stayed 1 night and it was definitely not busy.' - Unit13
4. It does not get more Dutch than this at Camperplaats De Tulpentuin
Of course, tulips are very seasonal. But even in summer, fall or winter this is a lovely place to park your motorhome with a view of the horses and the beautiful garden. The reviews do not lie; everything is taken care of to perfection at this place. The owners also sell local produce and... they brew their own beer! What is it like you wonder? There's only one way to find out. Put the address in your navigation and go!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'What a well kept and ideally designed place! Sandra has thought of everything and welcomes her guests with great warmth. You arrive as a guest and leave as a friend. We always look forward to visiting De Tulpentuin, especially in the spring when the fields are in full bloom.' - GM-Mammuts
5. An oasis just outside of Aspe in Spain
IWhen you are in Spain, you should really visit Het kartonnen huis near Aspe. Literally translated this means the house of cardboard. A lovely oasis out in the campo in the Alicante region. It is surrounded by mountains and there is a swimming pool to cool off on hot days. There is a special fenced play area for your trusty four-legged friend, who is obviously more than welcome at this motorhome stopover. At the new 'honesty' bar you can enjoy a refreshing drink and meet other motorhomers.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Dear Gine and David, we have enjoyed your beautifully landscaped and comfortable site in Aspe, which you have managed to turn into a true paradise for motorhomers after so many setbacks.' - Boogaard01
6. Ferropolis Camping - Why not park in the middle of an open-air museum?
Will you park under or next to the giant excavator is the question. Here at Ferropolis you can stay in an open-air museum of large open-cast mining machinery. Situated on the shore of a large lake, on a spit of land in the Gremminger See, you can pick your preferred spot. The lake was once created by these large excavators, it is an underwater mine. The holiday photo is reason enough already to stay here.
Fun fact: there is a yearly vanlife festival held at the campsite.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'If you are looking for an exceptional campsite, this is the place to be. The showers are clean and everything else is fine.' - Gynner
7. The Swiss mountains are calling you at Camping Wang
There is something ever so magical about waking up between high mountain peaks in a lush, rolling green valley. This camping overlooks the valley and Lake Thun with the high mountains and white peaks as a backdrop. The way the light plays at dusk and dawn is better than your favorite Netflix series and the only sound you hear is from the cows. There are plenty of things to do in the area, including beautiful walks and the Niederhorn cable car, which is close by.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Pure idyll. It could hardly be better. Promising access. Super friendly hosts. Simple but very clean toilets. Quiet, rural setting. Great for walking and unique panoramic views.' - DD-Camper-Johanna-von-Anna
8. Sleep next to the South African antelopes at Delareyville Ranch
When you are exploring Africa by motorhome, you want to see wildlife everywhere right? This ranch that lies west of Johannesburg, also provides overnight stops for motorhomes. Imagine waking up and seeing antelopes all around you. The ranche is situated close to the city center where you can have a walk, get your daily groceries or go out for a nice meal.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Unexpectedly unique campsite. On the way to the Kgalagadi via the N14, I found a very nice campsite close to the tarmac road. The antelopes were roaming freely here.' - Isaktaljaard
9. The closest you will ever get to the slopes at Aire de Camping-Car Plagne Villages
Do you love winter sports and want to be able to get straight out of your motorhome onto the slopes? Then this is the perfect motorhome stopover for you. Situated in the heart of the French Alps in a huge ski resort. There are over 400 km of slopes to enjoy. And what is even better, is that according to reviews the constant power supply is really consistent and good. So an extra (electric) heater is no problem. Not that much of a snow freak? Try this place out in the summer. You can hike through the lush green mountains or take a more adventurous mountain bike ride.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Area at the foot of a blue slope. Constant electricity. Free shuttle from the area. Upstairs, the Skimium shop sells bread (reservation required). 200m down there is a Spar and a free telebus to the centre of Plagne.' - Steph29
10. The Moselle on the left, grape vines on your right at Mosel stellplatz Pünderich
Park your motorhome at this beautiful motorhome park on the banks of the Moselle and enjoy yourselves. Whether you explore the area by bike, on foot or in a rented canoe, a great time is guaranteed. Or simply pull up a chair and enjoy the beautiful nature around you, the passing boats and canoeists. And while you're at it, grab a bottle of local wine from the wine dispenser (you heard that right) at the motorhome stopover and toast to the good life.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Good campsite, bakery and restaurants within walking distance. There is a wine dispenser at the entrance.' - EuraMobieltjes
