Places to Stay

Camping

My default accommodation on tour is camping. Campgrounds in Europe tend to be much nicer. Many Europeans travel to a campground and settle in for a month of vacation. Campgrounds will often have a common building, and an actual kitchen (more true in the cooler climes).

Free/Wild Camping

Many long-haul cyclists choose wild camping; finding a quiet place somewhere off the side of the road.

Hostels

While rare in the US, hostels are plentiful in Europe. Hostels can best be summed up as shared living space, with multiple people in the same room, often on bunk beds.

B&Bs (and AirBnb)

A significantly more expensive way to travel.

Hotels

If you’ve worked your way down to here, you’ve found something more expensive than B&Bs.
