There are literally thousands of aires, free and low cost motorhome overnight stopovers across Europe<\/strong> which aren’t campsites, and can massively reduce your budget while still giving you a peaceful night’s sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These official locations are referred to as ‘aires’ (in France, and as a general term in any country), ‘stellplatz’ or ‘stellpl\u00e4tze’ (in German-speaking countries) and ‘sostas’ (in Bella Italia). This post gives links to the best motorhome aires books and maps<\/strong>, enabling you to find and use these amazing networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Aires?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aires are official overnight motorhome parking locations. They’re first-come-first-served, some are free and some cost a few Euros (in cities you might pay \u20ac20 to \u20ac30). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some have marked-out spaces, many don’t. You can generally stay anywhere between 24 hours and a few days, and there’s no need to check in or check out. The main downside to aires is the fact you can’t generally ‘camp’ in them, so putting chairs out, awnings, BBQs and so on is usually a no-no. Only a small number allow you to book ahead, they’re first-come-first-served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an idea of what these places look like, here are some of our favourites across Europe<\/a>, and here are a few short videos showing some example aires we’ve visited:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
