Germany has a dense network of campsites and dedicated motorhome stopovers, often with paid electricity, water and waste disposal.
Camper Rules Assistant
Build a country route and get compact allowed/do-not-assume/check cards for overnight rules, LEZ, tolls, documents and winter requirements.
Germany
Germany is friendly to motorhome touring when you use signed Stellplaetze, campsites and normal legal parking. Wild camping is broadly restricted, and city access can depend on environmental stickers.
Treat an overnight roadside stop as parking, not camping: keep awnings, chairs, steps and leveling gear inside the vehicle footprint unless a site explicitly allows them.
Private leisure motorhomes are normally outside Germany's truck toll system, but heavy or goods-use vehicles need a closer check before travel. Many German low-emission zones require a valid environmental sticker, and foreign vehicles may need to apply before entering.
Romania
Romania is increasingly useful for long motorhome routes, but rovinieta payment, mountain weather, winter tyres and protected-area overnight rules need active checks.
Service coverage is uneven, so plan water, toilet cassette, grey-water and secure overnight stops before remote mountain, delta or Transylvania loops.
Do not assume wild camping is allowed everywhere. Local authorities, national parks, protected areas and landowners can restrict overnight stays and vehicle access.
Romania uses rovinieta road charging for national-road use, with categories and prices depending on vehicle type and maximum authorised mass. Romania does not use a broad tourist LEZ sticker, but city centres, old towns, mountain resorts and parking lots can restrict size, timing and access.
LEZ and cities
Germany
Many German low-emission zones require a valid environmental sticker, and foreign vehicles may need to apply before entering.
- Most remaining zones require a green sticker; entering without a valid sticker or exemption can be fined.
- Large cities may also use local parking, height and delivery-zone restrictions that affect campervans.
Romania
Romania does not use a broad tourist LEZ sticker, but city centres, old towns, mountain resorts and parking lots can restrict size, timing and access.
- For Bucharest, Brasov, Sibiu and Cluj-Napoca, plan outside-centre parking or campsite transfers for larger vehicles.
- Watch local signs for weight, height, resident-only and historic-centre access limits.
