Camping in North Friesland means above all relaxing in the fresh air. A seemingly endless network of hiking routes leads past bushy sea buckthorn stands, kilometres of beaches and lush green sheep pastures. Innovative culinary creations and maritime classics can be savoured in stylish fish restaurants and traditional fish stalls. There are also popular surf spots and seals to watch - the German North Sea of Schleswig-Holstein offers a variety of different natural areas and cultures

Special features of camping in North Friesland

A campsite in North Friesland on the North Sea is the perfect base for excursions to the multifaceted holiday paradise of the Wadden Sea. The pitches often offer meadows with an unobstructed view of the sea for tents, caravans and mobile homes.

Walking through the morning dew from your pitch at sunrise is an unrivalled outdoor experience, especially in the fresh North Sea air. You can experience the greatest possible freedom and individuality on holiday in North Friesland if you choose a small and simple campsite close to nature for your time out.

The excellent beach and family campsites, which often have private access to the sea, pirate playgrounds and children's programmes, offer ideal conditions for families with children. Camping in North Friesland is also characterised by its proximity to over 20 fun pools on the North Sea, just in case the weather doesn't play ball.

Destinations in North Friesland

Husum Theodor Storm's former grey town now boasts colourful gabled houses and a lively harbour. The charming town is ideal for a shopping spree through cobbled streets that exude maritime flair.

The largest North Frisian island of Sylt offers the greatest variety befitting its status. You can stop off at a Michelin-starred chef's in fashionable Westerland or at the most northerly fish restaurant in Germany. Idyllic dyke paths connect the south with the northern tip and invite you to go cycling, inline skating or walking.

St. Peter-Ording is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, with everything from beach sailing and kite buggying to kitesurfing (including the Kitesurf World Cup). Typical are the wooden pile dwellings that rise above the sea and mostly house restaurants or surfing centres.

Top sights

The famous pile dwellings of St. Peter-Ording can be reached via long wooden walkways. They conceal first-class restaurants with fine fish cuisine and a marvellous view of the sea. From the almost 19 metre high brick lighthouse of St. Peter-Ording, the view stretches far out over the sea.

Sylt's shifting sand dunes between Wenningstedt and Kampen are well known. One vantage point is the 52.5 metre high Uwe dune with a view over the island. The Sylt Aquarium with its glass panorama tunnel and the North Sea pool is a worthwhile excursion destination for families.

The harbour town of Husum in Schleswig-Holstein is known for its extraordinary museum landscape. In the traditional North Frisia Museum, for example, the topic of storm surges is vividly presented.

Activities and excursions

Surfing

The wind conditions on Sylt are ideal for surfing and kitesurfing. In the surf schools, everyone from beginners to professionals can try out or perfect this sport. Ellenbogen, the island's most popular surfing spot, is located at the northernmost point near List.

Wind fun in St. Peter-Ording

Below the 1 km long pier in St. Peter-Ording, kitebuggy riders and beach sailors can whizz across the sand at speeds of up to 80 km/h. Numerous surfing centres offer taster courses. Alternatively, you can simply go swimming.

Cycling in Husum

Husum is an ideal starting point for cycling tours along the coast through the picturesque Geest and Marsch. If you need a destination, head past dykes and grazing sheep to the Friedrichskoog seal centre. The daily seal feeding sessions are legendary on the North Sea.

Gastronomy

When it's windy outside while camping in North Friesland, you reach for the North Frisian national drink, the Pharisäer. The hot coffee with rum and cream topping warms you up nicely from the inside. Alternatively, there is a tea punch or grog.

In general, guests want to savour the freshly caught North Sea fish, and the restaurants and snack bars have adapted to this. On Sylt, everything is a little more refined; the Sylt Royal Oyster, for example, is a real treat for the palate. A white cuvée from Sylt's local wine-growing regions tastes great with it - after all, the sun shines more here than in the Rheingau.

Cooked in such a fine wine broth, the North Frisian mussels are a culinary highlight. Another speciality is lamb, served in a crust of freshly harvested wadden herbs.

Best time to visit

The weather in North Friesland is rather rough and changeable. This is because the climate changes with the tides of the North Sea. The peak summer months of July and August, when the water temperature in the North Sea is around 17°C, are particularly suitable for camping in North Friesland on the North Sea.

The air temperature is up to 25°C at this time. However, it can also rain and storm in midsummer, which holidaymakers should generally bear in mind when camping in North Friesland.
