Our Bumble

Travels around Europe & Beyond in a motorhome.

As we bumble around Europe we find wild camping locations perfect for parking the motorhome.

Sea-view dining, sleeping to the sound of the waves and free beachside accommodation…who needs exclusive villa’s and 5 star hotels!

Much of the European continent is well set-up for motorhomes and camper vans, as they provide motorhome stop overs on main routes, towns and villages were motorhomes can park-up for free or a small charge. However, we found our own hidden gems by heading away from the crowds and following the sprinkle of sand and the salty air to idyllic sun drenched beaches.
