The easiest method
When searching for campsites in Europe, the simplest way is to use Google Maps.
The general steps are as follows:
- Open Google Maps.
- Enter the keywords “camping” + “location”.
- Select any red dot to see ratings and reviews. Campsites with a rating of 4.0 or above are usually good.
- Book. Google Maps generally provides links to the campsite’s official website, where you can book directly.
