    Hi Milly,

    Parking is very regulated in Switzerland and in most cases you will need to park your campervan at designated spots. Wild camping in an RV or campervan is usually prohibited in most cantons. Your best options would be to park at campsites and prior reservation is usually required. You can practical info here:
