Wild camping in Luxembourg

Be ready for departure at all times
If you are standing in nature with your vehicle, you should be ready to go at all times and keep your eyes and ears open. Wild camping is only wild camping if you stay for one or more nights. If you are ready to leave immediately, however, you have not camped, but simply lost your way and taken a break to restore your driving ability.

Move into your pitch at the right time
Find your spot before it gets dark. At night, the visibility is very limited and your choice of location may not turn out to be as safe and secluded, as you thought. However, you should not move into your campsite too early, as it is more likely that you will be seen more easily by hikers, passers-by or, in the worst case, public authorities during the day.

Place your motorhome on official sites and go on excursions
Luxembourg has a large number of official campsites where you can park your motorhome. To still enjoy nature, you can go by bike or on foot and open a bivouac in nature. Bivouacking is more often tolerated than wild camping and is more inconspicuous.

Don't make your van look like a campervan
Of course, this is not possible with a motorhome, but if you are on the road with your converted van, you can camouflage yourself relatively easily. For example, leave any attachments such as bicycle racks or the like at home. If you have side windows, it is advisable to darken them with curtains so that your van looks more like a van than a campervan.
