camping or places to stay Germany + Belgium
Hi all, started planning a small trip for me and my mate for round about June next year.
To break up some of the journey we were thinking of stopping over at places marked around C and E on the map.
Any ideas of places around there or you know if its ok to camp rough out of the way?
Thanks
David

As far as I know rough camping is not allowed in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany but there are many good campsites.
On this (Dutch) site, you can search for campsites
http://www.anwbcamping.nl/Default.aspx
It is in Dutch but I think it is straightforward enough to find what you need.
Good luck

Hi, not far from E is the famous race track in Spa which is a nice town and has some campsites nearby. Not in your plans but one of my favorite campsites in Germany is in Koblenz near D, the campsite is okay and only a 10 minute walk takes you into the centre of Koblenz which is well worth a visit. There is of course camping near the Nurburgring which i assumed was the reason for going to D. Andy

Hello David,
If you need a place to stay, in Belgium.
I live 3km from point G.
You can stay here if you want, let me know.

I've just come back from 'C' (Nettetal) with my school! It would be OK for a stop over, perhaps, but there really isn't much there. There are some campsites, but I don't think Germany allows rough camping? Munchengladbach is a little larger / potentially more interesting, I believe.

We live in Antwerp (Belgium), have a big garage to put a few more bikes in it and are members of CS, so you can always stay with us if you want. You'll get a bed or the couch, so no need to put your tent up!
Just mail/pm me if you (or anyone else for that matter) are interested.

skydive spa
hi, if it's only for 1 or 2 nights, you can try to put your tent at the airfield of Spa, there is a small campsite. If you are ther during the week, you can ask it nicely. It can be possible that the will let you stay there for a and pizza.

That is sooooooooo flat, apart from the Ardennes region, which is not too big anyway.
So flat that the Joint Danish-Dutch Mountain Rescue Team have very little to do, most years.
With the extra time you have found, go further and try the valleys etc of Germany.
