Romanian cuisine is flavourful, comforting, and closely tied to the land. Travelling in a camper gives you the chance to try local specialties in each region.

What you can't miss:

• 🍲 Ciorbă: The national dish. These are sour soups, often with meat (perişoare - meatballs) or vegetables. The ciorbă de fasole cu afumătură (bean soup with smoked meat) served in a bread bowl is spectacular.
• Sarmale: Cabbage or vine leaf rolls stuffed with minced meat and rice, a staple at any celebration.
• Mămăligă: A type of polenta that accompanies many dishes, often served with cheese and smântână (a sour cream).
• Mititei (Mici): Small, grilled rolls of minced meat, very popular and delicious.

Romania is a paradise for lovers of wild camping, although the campsite infrastructure is less developed than in Western Europe.

• 🏕️ Wild Camping & Free-Standing

• Wild camping in Romania is widely practiced and generally tolerated, especially in rural and mountainous areas, as long as it is done respectfully. The norm is to ask for permission if you are near a house and, of course, to leave no trace. It's a fantastic way to experience Romanian hospitality. Be cautious of bears in the Carpathian mountain areas and do not leave food outside.

• 🚐 Official Campsites:
• 
  
• Official campsites exist, but their number and quality can vary. They are mainly concentrated in tourist areas like Transylvania or the Black Sea coast. They are a good option for recharging batteries and using services. On Campcruisers, you will find a selection of campsites and private motorhome sites. Take a look, maybe Romania is already among them!

Romania offers a wide range of activities for campervan travelers, from exploring medieval towns to hiking in the mountains and relaxing on the Black Sea coast. Take your campervan on day trips to discover the best of Romania's cultural and natural treasures.

• Explore Medieval Towns: Visit the charming medieval towns of Sighisoara, Brasov, and Sibiu, and explore their historic centers, fortified churches, and colorful architecture. Park your campervan in designated areas and wander through the cobblestone streets, soaking in the atmosphere of these well-preserved towns.

Romanian cuisine is hearty and diverse.

• In Transylvania: Sarmale (cabbage rolls) and Ciorbă de burtă (tripe soup).
• In the Danube Delta: Fish soup straight from the cutter.
• In Maramureș: Polenta with sheep cheese. With it, žuica (plum brandy) or Romanian wine.
