Pro searching: filters that actually matter
**Type of place:** separate free parking from campsites to match your budget and vibe.**Services:** tick **fresh water** and **dump station** when you’re planning service day.**Access & size:** check comments for **height barriers**, steep access, soft sand, or 4×4 tracks.**Seasonality:** watch for winter closures, beach bans in high season, or local events.Lifehacks from the road
**Newest reviews first.** If the last review is old, treat the spot as unverified.**Zoom out 10–30 km.** Great places are often just outside hotspots.**Satellite + Street View.** Check slope, surface, and entrances; avoid tight dead-ends.**Arrive before sunset.** Easier to judge access and level ground. Late arrival? Keep stealth: no awning, no chairs.**Alternate nights.** Free parkup → next day a campsite/aire for showers, laundry, water & dump.**Offline prep.** Save favorites and screenshots for mountains and valleys with poor signal (paid version typically adds more offline features).**Labels & lists.** Create region lists (e.g., “Masuria Service Points”, “Dolomites Viewpoints”) and share with your travel partner.Camper etiquette & legal basics
**Respect local rules.** Parking ≠ camping. If camping is not allowed, avoid awnings, tables, leveling blocks on display.**Quiet & discreet.** Keep noise down; leave at a reasonable hour.**Leave No Trace.** Pack out trash; never dump grey/black water except at designated points.**Mind residents & wildlife.** Don’t block access roads, gates, or private land.Safety checklist
