Camping in Austria: what to know

Season

Lakeside campsites are usually open from May to September. Many campsites in the Alps open in winter for skiers, and some are open all year.

Wild camping

Each state sets its own rules, and wild camping is largely prohibited. The federal forest law forbids camping in forests, and fines can be considerable.

With a motorhome

Overnight stays outside campsites and designated stopovers are restricted in many states and municipalities. Do not assume that sleeping in a parked motorhome is permitted; check the rules for each location. Motorways require a vignette; vehicles over 3.5 tonnes use the GO-Box toll system instead.

Rules vary by region and may change. Always check current local regulations and signs before you travel.
