Where the line lies between parking, sleeping and camping
camping · Belgium
Camping is forbidden outside a campsite or designated zone. What changes from one country to another is which gesture crosses the line:
  • the PHYSICAL ACTION, not the fact of sleeping, is what triggers the offence
  • as soon as chocks are placed behind the wheels, the legs are lowered or the awning is extended, it is already camping
