Camping

Look no further than Germany's campsites! Camping has always been a popular holiday choice in the federal republic, and so a fantastic variety of campsites have sprung up to cater to people in tents, caravans and motorhomes.

Wild camping is prohibited in Germany. If you simply pitch your tent in a German forest, you risk receiving a fine of up to 500 euros or even more if you do so with a camper van. It is even possible to camp here: Ferropolis is an open-air museum near Dessau.
