    FAQ

    Is free camping in Poland legal?

    Free camping in Poland is in a grey zone - forbidden on private land without permission, often tolerated on public land outside of protected areas. Outside of peak season and away from tourist hotspots it is well and truly possible in practice.

    When should I travel Poland by campervan?

    May, June (first half), September and October are ideal. Late June to August is peak season - Polish school holidays mean busy beaches on the Baltic coast and crowded lakeside spots in Mazury. Campsites generally still have space but the atmosphere at popular spots is loud and crowded.

    Is Poland safe for campervan travellers?

    Yes - Poland is a safe travel destination. Van break-ins and theft are not a specific problem. Normal precautions as anywhere in Europe are sufficient.
