Have just returned from a four week European trip and found numerous cheap or even better, free. In Holland we stayed 2 nights at Wijhe, right by the Issel river, hot food 50 feet away. A five minute walk to the supermarket, 5 Euro per night, water, toilet, you need a key from the man who maintains the area.
We were on route for Luxembourg and got delayed, had camped at Arlon last year and decided to go there again, couldn't find it. Found a closed down Intermarche with a large quiet car park, 200 yards from a Lidl.
Through Luxembourg southwards into France. Great site at Stenay, next to the canal, toilets,showers and electric for 6 Euro, big site, supermarket 5 minutes away.
Ten miles on is Dun Sur Meuse, sign says Port de Plaisance, next to the canal. There is a shower, toilets and washing machine. The fee is collected at around 7.00 pm. The facilties are always open 3 Euro and if you are honest and pay 7 Euro you can use them. 7 Euro also includes electric. You also get cards and a list of local shops etc that will give discount, free drinks on presentation. Shops are 5 minutes away.
Next stop was Commercy, a new facility was nearing completion, by the canal and 100 yards from an Aldi. Electric, water and I think toilets and shower. It was only open for boats; but know will be open for motorhomes. Didn't think to enquire the price, very low or free I would think.
Onto Bar Le Duc, there is camping at the Mediatheque just as you come into town from Commercy. However if you pass that on the right and take a left over the bridge and immediately left, there is a place for 6 motorhomes, water and waste emptying. There are showers and toilets, but you have to pay 20 Euro deposit for the key. It is free, only boats pay. A 5 minute walk takes you into a very interesting town, 15 minutes takes you to the old renaissance part of town. Downside is, it's next to the station.
On the road to Cambrai you come to Le Cateau Cambresis, there is a 5 bay motorhome stop, water and waste, elecricity, only 4 sockets. 5 minute walk to the shops, it's free.
We did stop at several other cheap sites, have forgotten the names. We had 10 nights that were cheap or free, total cost was 30 Euro.
The most we paid was 20.50 Euro in Holland.
Hope this info is of help.
