Types of Campsites in the Eifel
The Eifel is perfect for a varied camping holiday. It’s no surprise you’ll find so many different types of campsites here. Nestled among green hills, a campsite in the Eifel is a great place to relax. You’ll find both small campsites with just the essential facilities, as well as large campsites with everything a family could wish for.
A mini campsite or a nature campsite is ideal if you love the outdoors and want to get away from it all. On a child-friendly campsite, things are a bit livelier, and you can be sure that not just you, but the little ones will have a wonderful time. If you’re traveling by motorcycle, you’ll also find campsites especially suited for bikers—perfect for those who love both camping and motorbiking. Of course, you can also enjoy your holiday in a static caravan, or rent one of the many camper pitches in the Eifel.
Luxury Camping in the Eifel
Glamping is a relatively new way to camp—enjoying all the comforts you’d expect in a bungalow, but still surrounded by nature. With glamping, you don’t have to compromise on comfort for that authentic outdoor experience. Most campsites also have a swimming pool.
Wine Festivals: An Experience Not to Miss!
The small Ahr river is a branch of the Rhine, and the vineyards on its hillsides make this a major wine-growing area. If you visit in September or October, you’ll arrive just in time for the local wine festivals. Almost every village along the Ahr hosts celebrations during this period—make sure you don’t miss out on this experience!
