Camping in Germany

Find campsites and motorhome Stellplätze in Germany for short stops or a longer camping holiday. Compare places near your route and check which facilities are included before choosing where to spend the night.

Plan your camping trip

Choose your overnight stop

Choose a campsite for a longer stay with shared facilities. A motorhome area can suit a short stop in a self-contained vehicle, but showers and toilets are not guaranteed. For a nature stop, check permission, access and your water and waste capacity before you arrive. Compare current site information and recent reviews; a map listing alone does not confirm availability or permission.

Camping and overnight rules

A roadside rest to restore fitness to drive is not a general right to camp on a public car park. For a planned holiday stay, use a campsite or a designated motorhome pitch. Check signs and local restrictions, including whether the parking area admits motorhomes.

When to go and what to check

Before winter travel, confirm that your chosen site and its water supply are open. During holidays, check availability ahead of arrival. At a Stellplatz, confirm vehicle length limits, payment methods and whether toilets or showers are available.

Rules and travel information

Camping questions

Do I need to book these spots?

Booking depends on the operator. Check each place’s current opening dates, arrival times and booking conditions. These are selected places to explore, not a live list of available pitches. Contact the operator before travelling if you need a confirmed place.

Are water, toilets and electricity included?

Facilities vary by place and may cost extra or close seasonally. Check the place details and the operator’s information for water, electricity, toilets and waste disposal. Carry enough supplies to reach an alternative if a service is unavailable.
