My wife and I are looking to do some of the route around the North Sea (www.northsea-cycle.com) next summer and I was wondering if anybody on here has had experience in those areas in regards to the camping scene. This summer when we were cycling the Donau in Germany/Austria we decided to stay in pensions, b n' b's, hostels because it was our first big tour, first time in Europe and the honeymoon as well. For next summer we'd love to camp the majority of the way: are there campgrounds along the coast in Scotland, England, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway? we're waiting to see where we can fly into cheapest as to which section of the route we're going to do but we'd be interested in the beta on camping too. We're both experienced campers and don't need a developed campsite all the time but we also dont want to piss off the locals with not so stealthy camping either, ya know? I had thought I had heard about some friendly law in Scandinavia that allowed travelers to camp on property as they passed through... is that real or my imagination? other info on how to not stay in hotels/inns/hostels in this area of Europe would be helpful. thanks
