Picture: RV park in Sasbachwalden (Black Forest)
This post is my ongoing overview of all the motorhome stopovers and places I have personally visited – currently 64 in total. What interests me is less the pure description of a stopover and more what truly defines a place: its atmosphere, the landscape, the small encounters, and the feeling between arriving and moving on. All locations have been experienced and documented by me. The prices mentioned reflect the time of my stay and may have changed since then. The list is updated regularly as new places are added. Perhaps it is not a classic travel guide – but rather a growing journal from the road.
Dieser Beitrag ist meine fortlaufende Übersicht aller Stellplätze und Orte, die ich mit dem Wohnmobil selbst besucht habe – inzwischen 64 an der Zahl. Mich interessiert dabei weniger die reine Stellplatzbeschreibung als das, was einen Ort wirklich prägt: die Stimmung, die Landschaft, die kleinen Begegnungen, die Atmosphäre zwischen Ankommen und Weiterfahren. Alle Plätze habe ich selbst erlebt und dokumentiert. Die genannten Preise entsprechen dem Zeitpunkt meines Aufenthalts und können sich inzwischen verändert haben. Die Liste wird regelmäßig ergänzt, wenn neue Orte hinzukommen. Vielleicht entsteht daraus kein klassischer Reiseführer – sondern eher ein wachsendes Tagebuch unterwegs.

The RV park is a free parking space for 8 RVs for a maximum stay of 48 hours. The pitches are 6.50 x 3.50m, so parking my 6.40m motorhome took some time. Later, another 8m motorhome arrived and also found a spot. In the morning some people had problems with the electricity connection. A city employee who was called over was able to quickly solve the problem. The use is possible all year round day and night. The center, the monastery, the Deep lake natural outdoor pool and a children's playground are within walking distance. There are designated hiking trails and bike paths.

Signposted cycling and hiking trails are available.
As already mentioned, there are three pitches. Füssen and Neuschwanstein are popular excursion destinations, especially for motorhome drivers. That's why the pitches in the area fill up relatively quickly. Without a reservation, it's a matter of luck. As long as the chain with the sign “All pitches occupied” is not hanging at the entrance, you can be lucky. But once the chain is up, nothing works. We were lucky and found a place to park for 2 days at the “Füssen Mobil” motorhome site. The motorhome parking space is subject to a charge and can be used all year round.

However, there are only six pitches available there, which were full when we arrived and even after a long wait. The alternative site was busy when we arrived, but after our visit to the old town there were only three vehicles left for the night.

Alternatively, you can use a small path that shortens the distance to about 500 meters. However, this path is somewhat difficult, so good footwear is recommended. Signposted cycling and hiking trails invite you to explore the surrounding area.
... is a paid parking space for 12 motorhomes, which can be used all year round and offers spacious, paved and largely flat pitches. The old town is only a few minutes' walk away and there is a public transport stop nearby. Facilities include electricity connections and fresh water supply, which can be used with a prepaid card. The prepaid card for electricity and fresh water can be purchased and topped up at the parking machine. As far as I remember reading, unused credit can be paid out again. Disposal facilities for gray and black water are available. After paying at the parking machine, you receive a barcode for free use of the toilets. Thanks to its central location, the motorhome parking area is an ideal starting point for exploring Plauen's old town. There is a skate park and a small restaurant between the pitch and the river Elster. There are also signposted cycling and hiking trails in the surrounding area.
... or as named in some parking space guides as a motorhome parking space Altmainschleife Grafenrheinfeld, on the outskirts of Grafenrheinfeld offers space for 16 mobile ho mes and is situated in a quiet location surrounded by nature. There is a fishing lake, a riding facility and a sports facilityin the immediate vicinity. The site can be used all year round, is gravelled and largely flat. Electricity, fresh water and disposal options for gray and black water are available. A pizzeria in one of the clubhouses directly on the site provides refreshments. Those who love regional cuisine will find a cosy restaurant serving typical Franconian specialties about 800 meters away in the town center. Nature lovers can explore the surrounding area via signposted cycling and hiking trails that lead to idyllic places such as the Altmainschleife or the nearby bathing lake. All in all, the pitch is a successful mix of practical infrastructure and a natural location - perfect for a relaxing stay in the Franconian idyll.
... which can be used all year round, offers space for 23 motorhomes and is located on a largely flat, gravelled area. Officially, no caravans are allowed here, but when we arrived, there were still a few on the pitch - apparently this is not strictly controlled. The connection to the city center is convenient: there is a bus stop directly opposite and the journey to the center only takes about 15 minutes. Utilities are available - electricity and fresh water as well as disposal facilities for waste (separate), gray and black water. Right next door, Bambados invites you to relax with its indoor pool, sauna and wellness area as well as restaurants. The adjoining outdoor pool is also open in summer. A nice special feature: the city of Bamberg promotes exercise for the elderly and offers reduced rates for people over 60 or with a disability pass - handy for anyone just looking for a warm shower. If you want to get more exercise, there is a public park nearby with a restaurant and beer garden, a playground and a skating area.

The free motorhome site at Großer Elzpark offers space for up to 16 motorhomes and can be used all year round.

Our pitch for the night was the Füllekuhle motorhome site, a free site for around ten motorhomes that can be used all year round. When we arrived, however, all the marked pitches were occupied. Many campers had simply parked in the adjacent car parking spaces - and vice versa. A clear order? Not at all. Apparently, this mix is tolerated by the municipality. The site itself is gravelled, largely flat and, above all, perfectly located. The old town is just a few minutes' walk away - a huge advantage for a spontaneous stopover like ours. However, there is no supply and disposal here, so if you need this infrastructure, you should switch to the nearby campsite. There are signposted cycling and hiking trails directly from the pitch - ideal for anyone who wants to actively explore Goslar and the surrounding area.
... offers 35 spaces and is located outside the town, idyllically nestled between forest and water, right by the lake.

Well-marked cycling and hiking trails lead through the picturesque landscape. Those wishing to explore the old town island can reach it in about 1.5 kilometers on foot, passing the historic monastery complex and crossing the dam directly into the heart of Malchow.
... lies on the outskirts of Bad Sobernheim – peaceful, framed by trees, with a view into nature. Around 80 vehicles can park here on gravelled, level ground, some even in the shade. The site is open all year round and offers electricity and fresh water for an additional fee. Included in the daily rate are grey and black water disposal as well as separate waste collection – all well-organized. Payment is usually made at the nearby restaurant, which was unfortunately closed during our stay. In such cases, fees can only be paid at specific times – a notice on-site provides details, or a quick phone call helps arrange a time. There's also a bread roll service for those who like to start their morning with something fresh from the oven. Public transport connections are good, and it’s just about a one-kilometre walk into the town center.

... on the outskirts of Neustadt an der Weinstraße-Hambach is a paid parking space that can be used year-round, located directly next to a swimming pool. It is accessible from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM, with a rest period from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. The area is gravelled and partially uneven. Freshwater can be filled up for €1.00 per 100 liters, and disposal of black and grey water is available about 500 meters away at the entrance to the 1. FC facility on Diedesfelder Weg.

The Hambach Castle is approximately 1.5 km away and can be reached by foot, bike, or bus. However, the walk and bike ride are quite challenging due to a steep incline. A bus stop is located directly at the parking area. The location is also an excellent starting point for visiting the historic city center of Neustadt an der Weinstraße, which is about 5 km away. Signposted cycling and hiking trails offer many opportunities to explore the surrounding area.
The Forsthaus Beckenhof is a paid motorhome site with 15 pitches on the forest’s edge, open year-round. The site is gravelled, mostly level, and offers partial shade. It provides all a camper’s heart could desire: fresh water and power hookups, as well as gray- and black-water disposal. On the premises is a restaurant whose facilities (showers and toilets) campers can also use. The restaurant features a large beer garden that was very popular during our visit. There’s also a playground for children. The approach can be a bit confusing—GPS indicated we’d arrived, but in reality we still had about 200 meters of forest track to cover. The entrance isn’t clearly marked. On departure, we initially turned the wrong way and ventured even deeper into the woods. Marked cycling and hiking trails start directly from the site.
Our overnight spot was right by the Historic Weiherschleife - idyllically located between a stream and the edge of the forest, with space for 13 vehicles.

On-site amenities include a bread roll service, fresh water supply, electricity, and facilities for greywater and chemical toilet disposal. Toilets and showers are also available, although they are closed during the winter months – please check the official website for seasonal updates. Dogs are welcome, and barbecuing is permitted.

On the outskirts of Wasserburg, nestled between a leisure park and gentle clusters of trees, lies a free motorhome site for up to twelve vehicles. It’s divided into a smaller area with four spots next to a large public parking lot, and a newly expanded section offering eight more — though the space feels generous enough for a few additional campers. The ground is gravelled and level in most places, with some shaded spots beneath the trees. It’s a peaceful location, directly connected to cycling and hiking trails. The town center is about a 30-minute walk away, or you can hop on a bus from the nearby public transport stop. Facilities are minimal: electricity is available (prices vary by socket), but there’s no fresh water or disposal service. Dogs are welcome, and the maximum stay is limited to three nights.
Our camper spot in Kufstein was right by the River Inn, on a designated area for six motorhomes – flat, paved, no shade, but well located.
