    I expect you have taken the obvious first steps of getting lists of campsites and Aires in all those countries from Google, and then looking at reviews, but after that the website Magbaztravels.com will give you a broader range of experiences from those who have been that way - with advice on insurance, road conditions, crime and security, and so on.

    On our way to Greece in 2008 we stayed a few days at Levoca, in the foothills of the Tatra mountains.  A pleasant site but not particularly level, so I cannot say how it would suit a motorhome.  The local town is very picturesque, and the Tatra Mountains nearby are a must. Also Nearby is Spissky Hrad, the largest castle in Slovakia.  The campsite website is all in Slovak, but it is mentioned in another site  I have just come across, Camper Contact.  

    Our next stop was in North West Romania at Gilau, on the road to Cluj Napoca. Camping Eldorado is Dutch owned (as are many eastern European sites).  This was a lovely site, close to a river, and lovely home cooked food in the little restaurant.

    In 2012 we crossed the Tatras from Poland to reach Slovakia and stayed at Villa Betula near Liptovsky Mikolas.  This was a superb site, flat, well maintained and a good restaurant. We were there off season.  Looking at their website it looks very kiddy orientated in high season!

    As I said, we are caravanners, so are able to park and travel around by car.  If you do not carry your own transport (e.g. bikes or a motor scooter), you might find them a bit lacking in public transport.

    Two further websites to have a look at are Alan Rogers and best of all the ACSI site and their list of inspected sites, Eurocampings.

    John, Download Archies Camping - which has details of 33,000 campsites in Europe  Archie has been concentrating on Eastern Europe and details are as up to date as they can be.  Files can be downloaded for almost every SatNav, so en-route from anywhere to anywhere you can always find a nearby campsite.

    There are details of phone numbers, opening dates, and much more.  Unfortunately no reviews, but for one night all you really  need in a motorhome is a decent place to park up for the night.

    We also use Arhies Camping as there are excellent reviews on most campsites which you can access easily . If you go to the information page ,after the campsite’s own website there is usually a Trip Adviser page where you can read other people’s views and soon decide if it’s what will suit you
