Aire de service [modifier]
C'est un lieu aménagé où les camping-caristes peuvent vidanger leurs « eaux grises » (douche, vaisselle), leurs « eaux noires » (WC), ces vidanges sont toujours gratuites (sauf sur les bornes payantes par carte bancaire, le tuyau pour recueillir les eaux usées est dans la borne). On peut aussi y faire le plein d'eau potable, parfois se brancher sur le courant électrique, ces services sont parfois gratuits (environs 40%), mais le plus souvent payants (environs 60%). Les aires de services comportent soit une borne artisanale (faites en béton et généralement gratuites) ou de type industriel qui sont généralement "Euro-relais", elles sont soit gratuites mais généralement payantes.


Les services présents sur une aire ou à proximité (du plus au moins souvent présent):

Alimentation en eau.
Vidange des eaux usés.
Vidange des WC.
