The best campsites in Southern Germany
Southern Germany is home to hundreds of campsites, ranging from small nature sites to large family-friendly parks with a pool, playground and modern facilities. Many campsites are set right in the countryside, by a lake or in a mountainous landscape. That makes Southern Germany an ideal destination for families, peace-seekers and active holidaymakers.
Camping in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg
Most campsites in Southern Germany are located in the federal states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Bavaria is known for its alpine scenery, beautiful lakes and iconic castles such as the fairytale Neuschwanstein Castle. You’ll also find charming towns and villages where traditions and Bavarian hospitality are still very much alive.
Baden-Württemberg lies in the south-west of Germany and is especially popular for the Black Forest, one of the country’s best-known natural areas. Here you can hike through dense woodland, past mountain lakes and through picture-perfect villages. You’ll also find plenty of castles, historic towns and wine regions—ideal for a day out from the campsite.
Nature, mountains and lakes
Southern Germany is a paradise for nature lovers. You can enjoy endless walking and cycling through mountain scenery, forests and green valleys. The region is also famous for its many lakes, where you can swim, go boating or simply relax by the water. A well-known example is Lake Constance (Bodensee), a large lake on the border with Austria and Switzerland that’s popular with watersports fans and campers.
Alongside nature, Southern Germany also offers plenty of culture. Visit historic cities such as Munich, Freiburg or Heidelberg, explore medieval castles, or try the local cuisine in a traditional beer garden. It’s the perfect way to combine nature, culture and great food on your camping holiday.
Perfect for an active camping holiday
Campsites in Southern Germany are ideal for an active break. From many sites, walking and cycling routes start right at the campsite, taking you through mountains, forests and along lakes. Activities such as climbing, mountain biking, paragliding and watersports are also popular here. This makes the region a great choice for both adventurous travellers and families who love being outdoors.
