Places to stay where your evening ends
Sites from OpenStreetMap in the map view and around every stop, with facilities and address.
Most campsite apps answer the question “what is near me?”. On a trip a different one comes up: “where can I sleep without leaving my route?” Camperada answers the second, in two ways.
Around a stop
For every stop on your trip you can search for the overnight stay directly. Camperada fetches the sites nearby, you filter by type and adopt one as that stop’s overnight stay. The route then no longer leads to the centre of town but to the site, and the trip plan calculates with the actual approach.
Browsing the map
The second way is browsing. There is no zoom level at which the map stays empty: zoomed far out it shows where the sites are as a density rather than 208,000 individual points that would overlap anyway. As you zoom in, the clusters resolve into single sites. Three types are distinguished and coloured apart:
- Campsites with facilities and usually a reception
- Motorhome stopovers, often smaller and without check-in
- Disposal points for grey water and cassette, which appear on the map even though nobody stays the night there
If you find a site that does not belong to an existing stop, Camperada will insert it into the route at the point where it causes the smallest detour. So you do not have to work out yourself which two stops it fits between.
What the site detail shows
Every site shows what OpenStreetMap knows about it: name, address, website, plus the facilities that matter for a night in a motorhome, such as drinking water, waste disposal and an electricity hook-up. What is not recorded stays empty rather than being filled with placeholders.
For the nights on the way too
When the trip plan schedules a night part-way through a long stage, the same site search looks around that calculated position. A result becomes a stop at exactly the point of the trip where the night falls, with the overnight stay in it. The order of the trip is preserved: the new stop comes before the drive the night belonged to.
The limits of this data
OpenStreetMap is open and lives on volunteers. In Germany, Austria, Italy and France coverage is dense, in more remote regions thinner. Prices, opening times and availability are mostly absent. Camperada is therefore no substitute for a booking platform; it reliably shows you what is on your route at all.
What open data cannot do, the large site communities can: reviews, photos, experiences from people who stood there last week. Use both, and you plan the route here and confirm the choice of site there. If camping.info, Eurocampings or PiNCAMP lists a site as bookable, its site card also shows “Bookable online at” and the portal’s name: a labelled partner link through which you book exactly that site there.
Frequently asked questions
- Where does the site data come from?
- From OpenStreetMap. Camperada holds the worldwide stock itself, around 208,000 campsites, stopovers and disposal points, and shows the details recorded there: website, address, drinking water, waste disposal, electricity.
- Can I see prices and availability?
- No. OpenStreetMap holds no occupancy data and rarely any prices. Camperada shows what is in the open data and does not invent the rest. For booking, the way in is the site's own website, where one is recorded. Where camping.info, Eurocampings or PiNCAMP lists a site as bookable, its site card also carries a labelled partner link to the booking.
- How up to date are the sites?
- The stock is refreshed monthly from OpenStreetMap, so a newly added site does not appear the same day. In exchange the map is there instantly at every zoom level, rather than waiting on an external query with every movement.
- What can I add myself when data is missing?
- If a site or a facility is missing, you can add either directly in OpenStreetMap. Camperada picks the addition up with the next refresh of its stock, and so does every other map and app built on OSM.
