Munich connects to the Alps and the rest of Germany via the A8 (to Stuttgart and Salzburg), A9 (to Nuremberg and Berlin) and ring road A99, providing quick exits in all directions.
The entire city inside the Mittlerer Ring is a low-emission zone. You must display a green environmental sticker called "Feinstaubplakette". You can buy this online or at TÜV and DEKRA stations.

Stellplätze are basic campervan parking areas, usually €5–15 per night. Look for signs that say Wohnmobilstellplatz.
Many Park and Ride sites circle Munich. You can leave your campervan outside the centre and take the S-Bahn or U-Bahn trains directly to downtown.
No, wild/free camping in Germany is generally not permitted. However, a single overnight stop may be allowed if it’s strictly to restore your fitness to drive (a safety rest), provided you are parked somewhere that parking is allowed and there is no local prohibition. In that case, you must avoid ‘camping-like’ behaviour (no chairs/tables, no awning, no grilling), and you should move on again the next day.
There are plenty of campsites in Germany, and prices vary by season and region. As a rough guide, many campsites start from around €30 per night, and a typical overnight stay in peak season is often around €40 for a standard camping ‘bundle’ (pitch and people), depending on what’s included.
Germany also has Stellplatz (motorhome stopovers), which are designated places where you are officially allowed to stop overnight with your motorhome—often near town centres and tourist sights. Many Stellplatz sites offer basic facilities such as electricity plus fresh water and waste water services, and sometimes sanitary facilities. Some charge a small fee (often less than a campsite), while others are free of charge.
All drivers must have a current and full driver’s licence to hire a vehicle. If your licence is from the UK, it must entitle you to drive a category B vehicle up to 3,500 kg. For certain larger models, a category C licence is required.
Foreign licences are acceptable if they are accompanied by an accredited German translation. Otherwise, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required.
Note: policies vary from supplier to supplier. Always check the T&Cs for your rental.
