Motorhome stopovers PL-22

Can I sleep in my motorhome? Rule for PL-22 Tolerated

The light applies to car parks and community places. Official stopovers, campsites and farms are always allowed – staying overnight is what they are for.

In Poland you may sleep in a lawfully parked vehicle, but the 'Zanocuj w lesie' programme expressly covers only tents, hammocks and bivvy bags. In forests, bivouacking is allowed only at designated places and the vehicle must stay in the nearest forest car park, fines up to 5000 zloty (Ustawa o lasach Art. 30, Kodeks wykroczeń Art. 161).
