Germans choose camping

Germans choose camping

More and more Germans are traveling in motorhomes and camper vans, taking tents with them, but not everyone is ready to sleep under the open sky

As a result, more than 2,800 German campsites have made serious investments in infrastructure and leisure programs. There are already luxury complexes with wellness-spa, golf courses, horse riding, programs for urban tourism enthusiasts and nature lovers. Deutschland.de presented its selection of campsites in Germany.

Award-winning – Camping Hopfensee in Bavaria

One of the best campsites in Europe is Camping Hopfensee in the Bavarian region of Allgäu. It is located right on the shore of one of the pre-Alpine lakes, near the famous Neuschwanstein Castle. This five-star campsite has everything – nature and luxury, a wellness area with a sauna lined with cedar wood, and special offers for golf enthusiasts. Campsite website: www.camping-hopfensee.de

Royal – Camping Sanssouci in Potsdam

Not everywhere will you be allowed to stay right in a royal park. Campingpark Sanssouci is located on the grounds of a former hunting preserve of the Prussian kings, which was transformed into a royal park through the efforts of court architect and gardener Joseph Lenné. In 2015, this campsite will be 60 years old. From here, it is very convenient to travel to Potsdam and Berlin. Campsite website: www.camping-potsdam.de

Cozy – Hüttenpalast in Berlin

The Hüttenpalast campsite in Berlin seems specially designed for those who want to live in the city center, don't want to depend on the whims of weather, and still appreciate the feeling of freedom that life in a campsite gives. Rain, hurricane, subzero temperatures – none of this is a problem. The trailers are located on the site of a former factory. However, you won't be able to set up your own tent here.

Close to nature – campsite on the Elbe near Hamburg

The Stover Strand campsite is a classic camping site where vacationers can watch the ebb and flow on the Elbe day after day. And if someone misses the big city, from Geesthacht it's just a half-hour drive to the Hamburg port. Campsite website: www.camping-land-online.de
