Dump and fill
Where to empty and fill, across Europe.
Where to empty gray water and the cassette and take on fresh water: 1,652 stations in 4 countries, each with its own page and source. France has a page per region; Germany, Italy and Spain are listed here in full.
Plan the dump and fill as its own stop. In France the aire de services exists for exactly this, usually with a borne (a coin or token service post). In Germany a Stellplatz can be a plain parking lot with nothing on it, so find the station before you need it.

How the service point works
Gray water
Gray water is what comes out of the sink and the shower. Park so the outlet valve sits over the drain grate in the ground and open it. If the outlet does not line up, a short hose fixes it.
Cassette and black water
The chemical toilet goes into its own inlet, usually a hatch or a basin on the service post, not into the gray-water grate. Empty the cassette, rinse it with the station's rinse water, done.
Fresh water
Fill at the drinking-water tap with your own clean hose. Where there are two taps, one is for rinsing cassettes: never use that one for the tank. Where the list says "not confirmed", fill up somewhere else first.
Paying
Many stations take coins, tokens or a card. In France the token is a jeton, often sold at the town hall, the tourist office or shops in the village, so buy it before you need it. Carry 1 and 2 euro coins. Of the 1,652 stations here, 443 are recorded as free, 98 are free to park with paid services, and 225 charge to park.
In winter
Exposed stations often have the water shut off through the cold months, because a full pipe freezes. From late fall, fill up where you know there is water.
Never down a drain
Gray and black water go to a dump station, not down a storm drain, not across the parking lot and not into the bushes. What Italy fines for it, with the source, is on the Italy wild camping rules page.
The stations come from open data: OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL 1.0), DATAtourisme for France (Etalab 2.0) and the municipalities themselves. Every place page names its source and the date it was last checked. The sign at the entrance and the town hall always have the last word.
Frequently asked
What travelers actually ask.
Where can I find a motorhome dump station?
On the map above and in the lists below: 1,652 stations across France, Germany, Italy and Spain, 1,463 of them in France and 135 in Germany. Each links to its own page with the location, fee, facilities and source. On the road, zoom the map to your route and take the nearest.
Can I empty my tanks at any Stellplatz or aire?
No, and that is the mistake that costs you the evening. Of the 472 German Stellplätze in our data, 135 have a dump point recorded. The rest say nothing either way, so plan the dump and fill as its own stop rather than assuming the overnight spot has one.
How much does it cost?
Each operator sets its own price and few publish it online. Carry 1 and 2 euro coins, and in France possibly a jeton (token) bought in the village. Of the 1,652 stations here, 443 are recorded as free and 98 are free to park with paid services.
Where can I get fresh water?
1,112 of the 1,652 stations have drinking water recorded too; the lists show it in the fresh water column. Where it says "not confirmed", nothing is recorded, so fill up first at a station marked "Yes".
Can I just drain gray water anywhere?
No. Gray and black water go to a dump station, not down a storm drain, not across the parking lot and not into the bushes. Italy fines it explicitly; the source is on our Italy wild camping rules page.
