Types of Campsites at Lake Constance
In recent years, Lake Constance has become an increasingly popular and diverse holiday destination. Choosing a campsite by the lake in Germany means you’ll never run out of things to do. The lake and its surroundings are perfect for nature lovers who also enjoy outdoor activities. The region is especially popular with families.
But besides family campsites, there are many more options. For example, you might opt for a stay at a small farm campsite, bringing you even closer to nature. If you love nature but also want the comforts of home, glamping is a great choice—a concept that’s now well established in Germany. Most campsites feature a swimming pool, and often a water slide as well.
