Just a word of caution about the content of the above, I am a contributor and was surprised yesterday to come home to find two motorhomes parked up in my front area.
They had found the location on Wikicamps and decided to come up for a visit overnight or longer. They could not ring due to no phone number or other contact details listed.
When I first listed the site (48hour stopover) contact details were advised and request for 24 hour notice so as our security arrangements could be relaxed so as to allow access, and to ensure that we had space or in fact home.
Our visitors said that there was no numbers so they could not ring, on checking the site, name had been changed to Big Rig and no mention of ringing before hand or numbers. (on checking the site was edited on the 5th March) but not by me.
This is a bit of a clich on the site as others other than original poster should not be able to edit data within the body of the listing.
My visitors were embarrassed about it as was I because we could not accommadate them due to reasons not appropriate on here.
users should be aware that changes can be made, and the location may not be as decribed.
I might add that it would seem that this is not the first wrong information found by these visitors.

thanks for the tip Bob, I have not used that site for o\n stops, just passing on info found on this site, will have to watch out and only go to placs that have a phone no for contact before getting there.

Hi Dawa,I don't post a lot but have over 80K Kms of solo travel in past 8 yrs.
I feel the best personal alarm for my needs is a Spot Messenger.One pays an annual fee but has not only emergency features same as EPIRB but the ability to send Iam Ok etc to a number of phones or emails.Your family can track your whereabouts via a web site if you so desire.When I am travelling alone over vast distances thus feature is most reassuring.Give it a google and if you have any questions I would be happy to answer,
