Motorhoming tips
You must buy a vignette at the border, the price depends on the size of your vehicle and the length of your stay. This is not a vignette for motorways but to allow you to use all the roads. You are given a sticker to put on the windscreen - we were never aware of anyone checking them. Our vignette for one month in 2009 for a 3.5+ tonne vehicle was 88 euro.
There are plenty of campsites many are run by Dutch people as the country is popular with the Dutch. These particular sites tended to be full of Dutch and most instructions were in Dutch only but the good thing is all Dutch seem to speak English.
We found our campsites by using Camping Cheques, ACSI or the Caravan Club 2 book.
Older people do not speak English, they speak German. If you don't speak German or Czech then look out for a younger person to help you - they tend to speak English.
There are lots of campsites around Prague and the public transport into the city is cheap and plentiful.
The roads are ok but some are pretty battered. Motorways are good and you have paid to use all roads when you buy the vignette.
Diesel is cheaper than in UK ( as at summer 2009).
Most of the time we had to use our two pin adaptor to hook up at camp sites.
At Telc we were able to park in a large carpark a short walk from the main square - there was a section for coaches as well as cars. We found we could park in the car park with our overhang on grass but you can park in the coach area too.
At Cesky Krumlov there are lots of car parks and again we found we could park in the car park with our overhang on grass so as not to encroach on other spaces. Beautiful old town a very short walk away.
In Stramberk there was a large public car park at the end of the old town, we drove through the narrow streets of the centre to get to it, and this could be a bit more fraught in the high season, but lots of coaches make it...
Most towns had either a public car park or a supermarket carpark so we did not find parking a problem.
