Follow the hippo, no idea where the name came from, but a useful source when looking to park up for a night.

Does anyone know of a similar thing for Europe, specifically Italy?

I know of a fair few places where you can park up without any hassle, but wouldn't mind knowing a few more.

Exactly my experience of most of these apps. This one looks exactly the same as all the rest when I look at my local area. With exception of the beach they are all dogging hotspots.

Just follow my nose now and so far have avoided doggers while parked up

Well, I've found Follow the Hippo quite useful when in Wales. Only had one "odd" experience and that was on some carpark near Luton.... No dogging, sadly. Just a carpark full of boy racers.

In my experience, (un?)fortunately dogging isn't such an issue on the continent.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.
