Home › Motorhome apps in Europe
Nine apps European travellers actually use — what each one is for, what it costs, and whether it works without a signal. Every figure here comes from the operator's own pages, not from us.
Who wrote this. This guide is published by AlpRoute, which makes one of the apps listed below. We have marked our own entry clearly and described it with exactly the same fields, from the same kind of source, as every other app. We do not rank the apps, and we do not claim any of them is better than another.
There is no single best app for travelling Europe in a motorhome or campervan, because the apps in this list are not really trying to do the same thing. One helps you find a free gravel pull-off above a lake. Another sells you a card that fixes your nightly rate at a commercial campsite in the shoulder season. A third simply keeps a 7.5-tonne vehicle off a road with a 3.2-metre bridge. Choosing between them as if they were interchangeable is how people end up paying for three subscriptions and still not finding anywhere to sleep.
So this guide is grouped by the job you need done, not by a score. Within each group the apps are listed alphabetically.
Every fact below was read from the operator's own website or its official App Store or Google Play listing on 15 September 2026, and each entry links to that source. Nothing here is taken from a review site or a blog.
We do not compare the number of places each app lists. Several operators publish different totals on their own website than on their own store listing, and every one of them counts different things — campsites, pitches, listings, service points, rental units — over different territories. Putting those numbers side by side would produce a comparison that looks precise and means nothing.
Prices vary by app store and country. Where an operator publishes a euro price on its own European site, that is what we quote. Where only a dollar or sterling price exists, we say so rather than converting it.
Databases built mostly from what travellers themselves report: aires, service points, quiet corners, small private spots and the campsites in between. This is the category people usually mean when they say "a motorhome app".
ZP İnternet ve Yazılım Hizmetleri Ltd. Şti. · Turkey
A map of overnight stops for campervans, motorhomes and motorcycles, with vehicle-aware route planning and a travel journal in the same app. Runs in the browser and installs to the home screen. You pick your language when you first open it, from a list far longer than anything else in this guide.
Campercontact B.V. · Netherlands
A directory of motorhome stopovers, campsites and service areas with user reviews and photos, plus booking at some sites. It is the one other app in this group that carries both a trip planner and a journal feature.
Published by Nala Multimédia · operating company not stated on their legal pages
Campsites, service areas and private hosts such as farms and small landowners, with motorhome-specific navigation that avoids unsuitable roads. Supports CarPlay and Android Auto.
APPMOBILEDITION · France
The best-known community platform in this category: travellers post and rate parking spots, service areas and campsites, and the listings carry photos and comments from people who actually stopped there.
Apps published by Harvest Hosts, LLC · United States. The website names no operating company.
A Europe-focused database of aires, motorhome parks, campsites, UK certificated locations and service points, with a strong British base and downloads for standalone Garmin and TomTom units.
Inspected or reviewed campsite directories, most with booking built in. If your nights are spent on serviced pitches rather than gravel, this is the group that saves you money.
ACSI Holding BV, apps by ACSI Publishing B.V. · Netherlands
Two separate products that are easy to confuse. The ACSI Campsites Europe app is a campsite directory with booking. CampingCard ACSI is a low-season discount card that fixes your nightly rate at participating sites — it is the reason most people know the name.
PiNCAMP GmbH, Berlin · Germany — ADAC's camping platform
Campsites and motorhome pitches described by ADAC inspectors rather than by users. Also two apps: a free one built around booking and the ADAC Campcard, and a paid annual edition built to work entirely offline.
Camping.info GmbH, Berlin · Germany
A campsite and motorhome-pitch directory built around user reviews, with availability checking and direct booking, and a paid membership that unlocks full site detail and partner discounts.
None of the apps above will stop a long, tall, heavy vehicle being sent down a lane it cannot leave. That is a separate job, and a separate kind of app.
Sygic a.s., Bratislava · Slovakia
Offline turn-by-turn navigation that calculates the route against your vehicle's actual dimensions. This is the separate Truck & Caravan app — Sygic's standard consumer navigation is for ordinary cars and does not apply caravan restrictions.
And why
Roadtrippers is a well-made road-trip planner, but its own App Store listing says it is "designed for discovering and planning road trips in the USA and Canada only", and its RV-safe routing does not apply outside United States boundaries. It does not belong in a European guide.
CoPilot still lists an RV navigation purchase in the App Store, but we could not confirm on Trimble's own pages that the consumer RV profile is current. Rather than describe a product we could not verify, we left it out. If that changes, we will add it.
If you think an app is missing from this guide, or that we have described one inaccurately, write to us and we will check the source and correct it.

Language counts are not strictly like for like: most of these apps ship a hand-localised interface in the languages their app-store listing names, while AlpRoute translates its interface automatically against a curated glossary, which is how it reaches 55. ADAC is shown as two numbers because its free app offers four languages and its paid annual app only German. "Not stated" means the operator does not describe the feature on its official pages — not that it certainly does not exist. "Hand-off" means the app passes the destination to a separate navigation app rather than routing itself.
Most experienced travellers carry two: one for finding somewhere to stop, one for the thing their first app does not do. Very few need more.
Start in group one. The community databases overlap heavily, so the question is less which is biggest and more which interface you get on with and which languages you need. All of them have a usable free tier, so try before paying.
Group two is where the money is saved. A discount card that fixes your nightly rate pays for itself in a week or two of shoulder-season camping — but only if the sites you want are in the scheme, so check the country list before buying.
Pair whichever stop-finder you like with proper vehicle-profile navigation. Consumer car navigation does not know about your height, and a stop-finding app that hands you to Google Maps does not either.
Check the offline column carefully. In most of these apps offline maps sit behind the paid tier, and "works offline" can mean anything from the whole database to a single downloaded card.
For a short trip on serviced campsites, often yes. For a longer trip mixing free spots, aires and campsites, most people end up with one database from group one and one from group two, because the two groups list largely different places.
Because they count different things. One counts every listing including service points and picnic areas; another counts only inspected commercial campsites; a third counts rental units too. Several also publish one figure on their website and a different one on their app store page. The totals are not comparable, which is why this guide does not compare them.
Most do, in the usual app-store way. Searchforsites is the exception in this list: its own site describes the annual payment as a single one-off that does not auto-renew. Check the terms at checkout, because app-store subscriptions are cancelled through the store, not through the app.
Every figure was read from the operator's own pages on 15 September 2026, and the date is shown at the top of the page. Prices and features change; if you spot something out of date, tell us and we will re-check the source and update it.
Yes — we published it, and our app is on the list. That is exactly why our own entry uses the same fields and the same kind of source as everyone else's, why we do not rank the apps, and why we say plainly where another app does something ours does not.
The same eight platforms ask very different things of a campsite owner — some charge an annual fee, some take a percentage of every booking, some do both, and one sends an inspector. We checked those terms on the operators' own owner pages too: listing your campsite on Europe's motorhome apps.
