Need a place to park your van: Host the camper community guide
Host the camper is a Facebook group created to connect people traveling in a campervan, van, or motorhome with hosts who can offer a safe place to park, and sometimes extra help like water access or a quiet overnight stop.
If you are on the road and need support, this kind of community can be a friendly alternative to random parking. If you have space at home, it can also be a simple way to help travelers and meet new people in a respectful, low-pressure way.
How to post (to get better replies)
- Your exact area (city/region), plus your dates.
- Your vehicle type and length (important for access).
- What you need (parking only, water refill, electricity, shower).
- Your travel style (quiet overnight, a few days, longer stay).
Always confirm that parking is allowed and respect the place like you would a campsite. If you are meeting a host for the first time, keep communication inside the platform, trust your instincts, and agree on simple boundaries (arrival time, noise, waste disposal, pets, and gates).
