Campervan Tips

Camper stops: Germany and the Netherlands have lots of official ‘stellplatz’ (motorhome parking areas) — many are free or low-cost

Electric hook-ups: Available at most campsites, but book ahead in popular spots

Driving rules: Speed limits are strict in towns and in the Netherlands/Belgium — stick to them!

Tolls: No tolls in Germany, but Belgium and the Netherlands may charge for some motorways

Waste disposal: Campsites have dedicated points — always empty your grey water and toilet properly

Bike it: Bring bikes — cities like Berlin, Leipzig, and Maastricht are cycle-friendly

This Berlin to Brussels campervan road trip is a brilliant way to soak up the best of Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
