Explore Romania in a campervan or van

Romania offers a unique experience for travelers in campervans or vans, combining preserved nature, cultural wealth, and freedom of movement through diverse landscapes such as the Carpathians, Transylvania, or the Danube Delta.

When to go to Romania

The best time to visit Romania in a campervan is from May to September, with ideal temperatures to discover sites like Călimani National Park or the city of Sibiu. June, July, and August are the hottest months but also the most crowded, while May and October offer a mild climate and fewer tourists, especially around Bucovina or Maramureș.

Weather and seasonality

The Romanian climate is continental, marked by hot summers and harsh winters, especially at altitude in the Carpathians where it can still snow in April. Regions like Rodna or Grădiște Muncelului-Cioclovina experience marked variations depending on the season, which influences both the weather and access to camping areas.

Seasonality of rates

Camping area and motorhome rental rates are generally higher in summer, especially in tourist areas like Transylvania or near the Danube Delta. In May or October, prices drop and sites are less crowded, allowing you to fully enjoy places like the fortress of Sighișoara or the painted monasteries of Bucovina.


Where to rent in Romania

Driving and regulations for campervans in Romania

In Romania, driving a campervan is subject to strict rules, including a zero-tolerance policy for alcohol at the wheel, meaning no trace of alcohol is allowed. A French driving license is valid, but it is advisable to have the new version to facilitate checks. Speed limits are 50 km/h in cities, 80 to 90 km/h on national roads for heavy vehicles, and up to 110 km/h on highways. To drive on main roads, it is essential to purchase the electronic vignette called 'Rovinieta', available at Petrom or Rompetrol stations. The minimum age to rent a campervan is generally 25 years, sometimes with a requirement for driving experience.

Sleeping and connecting in a campervan in Romania

Wild camping is largely tolerated in Romania, especially in rural and natural areas like the Carpathians or around the Danube Delta. However, it is recommended to ask for permission if you wish to spend the night on private property. There are few campervan areas, but equipped spots can be found in cities like Brașov or Sibiu. For connections, official campsites offer suitable services, but in the wild, you need to ensure sufficient autonomy. Wild camping remains a common and appreciated practice among locals, which facilitates integration.

Local tips and safety for campervan travelers

Romania is generally safe, but it is advisable to avoid certain areas in the south, such as some parts of Oltenia, where crime may be higher. Always inform someone of your itinerary, especially if you are going hiking in the Carpathian mountains. Caution is also advised on the roads, where traffic can be unpredictable with the presence of horse-drawn carts or cyclists. Finally, respect local guidelines, especially by avoiding approaching stray animals, and prefer campsites or official areas for the night when possible.
