Where the line lies between parking, sleeping and camping
camping · Andorra
Camping is forbidden outside a campsite or designated zone. What changes from one country to another is which gesture crosses the line:
  • three ALTERNATIVE criteria, one is enough: more elements than the wheels in contact with the ground; exceeding or extending the perimeter; emissions, noise or discharges
  • parking remains legal; what is forbidden is sleeping in the vehicle overnight and camping
