Camping by sml van or large estate car mpv, overnight without problems in spain, beach parking areas and beach! especially castel de ferro area almeria coast line, you come across a few camper vans and also local rod fishermen night fishing forming tents with umbrellas and the like.

France - parked all over BUT discreet!! Places in villages as in centre parking  ,back lane, or grassed parking areas, some have designated areas in small towns, there's also lay-byes that are well off road in places, on the main route's lay-byes are used by many and some have toilets, I am always aware to park either where others are or completely out of vision for safety, I have only been moved once, there was a big boules tournament following day, I should have noticed adverts, so always check!!! Could end up in middle of a car boot sale in morning, thats neen done!!

So really just use common-sense and respect.

Happy days to all, Col
