Camping in Germany: what to know

Season

Many campsites are open from Easter to October, and quite a few all year, especially in the Alps, the Black Forest and near spa towns. School summer holidays differ by state and run from July into September; this is the busiest time.

Wild camping

Pitching a tent outside a campsite needs the landowner’s permission, and the forest laws of most states forbid camping in forests. Some regions, such as the Palatinate Forest, the Black Forest and the Eifel, offer simple trekking pitches for hikers that you book in advance.

With a motorhome

Germany has a dense network of Wohnmobilstellplätze, from free car parks to serviced pitches with power and water. Sleeping one night in a vehicle to recover before driving on is generally accepted where parking is allowed, but not setting up camp. Check restrictions in nature reserves and other protected areas.

Rules vary by region and may change. Always check current local regulations and signs before you travel.
