For many people, Germany is a favourite holiday destination. It’s easy to reach, and you can usually get to your campsite within a day of travel. During the summer months, it’s a good idea to be aware of possible traffic jams as many people head out on holiday. Most of the time, however, you can drive straight to your campsite without needing an overnight stop. Some campsites in Bavaria are Dutch-owned, making communication easier. Many campsites also have their own swimming pool for guests, which is a welcome feature when temperatures rise in the summer. In this part of Germany, it can get very hot, sometimes approaching 40 degrees Celsius. On particularly warm days, schools may even close because teaching becomes impossible in overheated classrooms.
Bavaria offers hundreds of campsites, ranging from large, lively family campsites ideal for those with children, to smaller, more peaceful locations. Family campsites often feature a pool with a slide, a playground, and an entertainment team in the summer to keep the kids engaged. You can also try farm camping in Bavaria—these small-scale sites offer a tranquil setting close to nature. Facilities are generally simple, but you’ll often find authentic farm products such as cheese, butter, eggs, and sometimes fresh meat available for purchase.
If you want to enjoy camping but also appreciate a bit of comfort, a luxury campsite is the perfect choice. In Bavaria, you’ll find campsites offering glamping—think spacious mobile homes with all the amenities or cosy safari tents with real beds and extra space. Five-star campsites typically offer restaurants, sometimes several dining options, and luxurious swimming pools, which may be indoor. Many organise events and festivities so you’ll never be bored. These campsites are great for families and are perfect for a holiday with children.
