 Here is the list of our camping/parking sites in Poland during our camper adventure in the summer of 2016.  It was difficult to find a spacious, safe and free parking areas in the country. We had to park one time in a camping, and the rest of the times, in paid  small parking areas.

It is a nice camping with new sanitary facilities. Toilets and shower areas are spacious. There is also facility for laundry. WIFI is available, but the signal is weak! Fee is 15 zloty per person + 25 zloty per camper. The city center is about 4 kilometers which can be easily reached by a bus. Bus stop is about 500 meters from the camping.
