looking for camp sites in the pyreness
 

I am riding across the spanish pyreness then across the french alps in september.
I cant afford to stay in hotels so i would be very gratefull if anyone knows of any cheap places to stay or any camp sites.

There are loads of camps all well signposted, but if you drop out the mountains each night on the French side most large villages have a municipal site which are the cheapest plus you can pick up cheaper food at the super markets. Some are even unattended, you just pitch up and you get a dull knock on your tent later or in the morning for payment.

What 900fantrider is talking about (Municipal sites of France) :

Camping Municipal : Les campings Municipaux sur carte interactive.Choisissez votre camping sur carte google Earth 3D!

Very cheap and usually also very nice :)

Could not find it in English :(

The spanish pyrenees & the french alps have some of the most beautiful & best places for wild camping :thumbup1: and are free!

But for campsites, look up Ulrich's camping POI's

Thankyou Bertrand:D

Thank you Sir!
but thank Ulrich! :thumbup1: he's put it a fair day's work in all those!
BTW, if you use a GPS that can have CUSTOM POI's, I can send you the camping files for France and Spain in a special format that POI Loader (free from Garmin site) can use- This will give you the added benefit of freeing your unit's POI memory for route waypoints/and /or wayPOInts you take on the way. email me if need be.

good to know, we're going to be down there for a few weeks in Sept. :D

Cheers
Pete

Hi Bertrand!

Can you send me the POI file for the camping in France and Spain?

Going to cross the Pyrenees from West to East using a 'high' route through Spain and then back West using a lower route.
The Poi's of the camp sites could become handy :cool4:

check your email Roel :smiliex:

you too Peter:smiliex:
