We have just been last month. There are a few campites around but are quite rare, however, ACSI is making inroads although there are none shown in the 2011 book. We found the best source was a good European Road Atlas that showed camping places and then cross referenced them in the EDC book. I believe there is a GPS app that will locate for you also - I think it is called 'Trooper'??? The Motorhome guys would know it better. I can't comment on the Baltic area as I did not go that far North. Most we used were quite good standard.

Hello again Keith. We are also keen to visit Poland next year. I tried entering "Poland" in the search box, but it only brought up 3 posts in the last 2 years. However, there is a reply to the third of these posts by the redoubtable Val A, giving a link to all posts about Poland. Sorry, I'm not very good at computer stuff so can't do a link myself! However there's some useful info there. Seems like the roads are a bit potholed, which matches our experiences of driving in Eastern Europe, but otherwise it sounds like a really interesting country.

We went to Poland in 2008. Excellent trip. I took a convoy of 9 vans, starting in , Gulpen, Holland, meeting 1 on the autobahn at Guetersloh in a 30 minute window, then up to Magelburg, Northern East Germany, onto Szczecin on the Baltic coast, the near Gdansk on Lake Tamowa for a rally with another club from Russia.
After that we went to Auscwich, Wracklow, East Germany, Brugges.
I contacted the Polish Tourist Office in London to get information on camp sites, they were very helpful. They gave me contacts in Poland for the CC&C equivalent, and a web site which gave all the campsites available at that time.
We found campsites few and far between, especially in Eastern / Southern Poland and stayed in hotels in Lodz and Wracklow. There is a campsite at Auswich
There was a lot of motorway building going on in the North which should be finished by now. Gdansk to Lodz took us 13 hours at snails pace. The motorway to Szczecin, although marked as such, is like a cart track in places. Wouldn't tow a caravan on it, bad enough with a trailer. From Szczecin to Tamowa area took an eternity on poor roads.
I put together comprehensive route information, timings etc for that trip. I based on travelling max of 1 tank of fuel per day, which worked out a good measure as some days it was motorway speed (110km/h), other days snail pace.
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
