Campsites and suchlike:
We, well Janet particularly, like to have access to proper toilets at overnight stops, so we use campsites rather than wild camping.
France - there were reasonable sites at sensible intervals most of the way, and costs for the two of us ranged from 8euros to 19euros. Facilities varied from excellent to pretty poor, not necessarily in proportion to price, but showers usually included. Watch out though, as even the smartest often do not provide toilet paper.
Southern Germany - sites less frequent, but many places they allow camping at various boating or canoe clubs along the riversides, usually with really nice facilities. Boat clubs varied from 5 to 12 euros, normal sites from 8 to 22.
Slovakia / Czech Republic - enough sites, variable quality, but usually OK once you got used to the East European scruffiness - everyone very friendly and welcoming with costs of 6 to 14euros.
East / North Germany - enough sites, but often smaller and less good than those in the south with often brusque staff, and again unlike in the south, showers cost extra, despite the fact that the sites themselves cost just as much.
Netherlands - mainly decent sites but away from the coast very small, mainly 12 to 20euros, with showers costing extra - some even charged for hot water for washing up (as did a few in North Germany).
