The German region of Northern Germany, often simply referred to as "the North", offers its visitors a unique atmosphere and an unrivalled feeling of peace and tranquillity. The sea and the mudflats enchant body and soul and together ensure an unforgettable camping experience in the heart of nature. Lots of sports and leisure activities make camping in northern Germany particularly attractive for active holidaymakers and families with children who are looking for a varied holiday.
The campsites in northern Germany are family-friendly and often welcome four-legged camping friends. In addition to pitches for caravans and motorhomes, there are also plenty of tent pitches available. The uniquely calming atmosphere of the region is also reflected in the campsites: most campsites in northern Germany are located directly by the sea and are therefore the ideal destination for both beach holidaymakers and active holidaymakers.
A varied programme of leisure activities on the campsites and in the surrounding towns rounds off the offer and makes camping in northern Germany unforgettable for young and old! Large cities such as Hamburg, Bremen and Kiel are within easy reach and attract culture fans with their historic buildings, museums and events. Small towns such as Cuxhaven or Norddeich and islands such as Sylt, Amrum or Borkum know how to enchant.
Camping holidays can be spent at various facilities. The Südsee-Camp and Camping Hooksiel in Wangerland are among the best-known holiday destinations in the north due to the size of their pitches alone. Of course, there are also smaller campsites close to nature that promise plenty of peace and quiet.
The north is a true camping paradise. Travellers with a caravan, motorhome or tent are spoilt for choice and can decide where to go based on the facilities.
The Hooksiel campsite in Lower Saxony offers its guests a wonderful view of the sea. The pitches are spacious and offer plenty of privacy. The comprehensive service, including the disposal of waste water and filling up with fresh water, is much appreciated by motorhome holidaymakers. The children's playground, a kiosk, beach volleyball and guided cycle tours are part of the wide range of leisure activities on offer. With over 1,000 pitches, Hooksiel campsite is one of the largest in Europe.
At 80 hectares, the Südsee-Camp has a considerable size. It is hardly surprising that there are numerous pitches ranging from 80 to a very generous 220 m² available for motorhomes. The family-friendly site not only has a children's playground, it also boasts its own lake and an impressive indoor swimming pool. The leisure facilities are second to none, with riding lessons, pony rides, bike hire, beach volleyball, tennis, minigolf and archery. Food sales, waste water disposal for camper vans, WLAN and a dog shower are naturally part of the service at the South Sea Camp. The rented bathrooms are particularly appreciated by guests for their privacy. For all campers travelling without their own vehicle: The distance to public transport is around two kilometres. Südsee Camp has been awarded five stars for its comprehensive facilities.
Travelling to northern Germany is characterised by a well-developed road network and plenty of signposting. Many Germans do not have far to travel from their home town to their dream destination, the beautiful north of Germany. Residents of the capital Berlin, for example, only have to travel around 300 kilometres to reach their destination. The distance between Munich and northern Germany is around 800 kilometres, but can easily be covered in one day. Please note: In the summer months of July and August, there are more traffic jams or other traffic disruptions.
To get from Munich to the city of Bremen in the north, for example, caravan and motorhome drivers take the route towards Nuremberg and then follow the A9 motorway towards Leipzig. From here, take the A14 motorway past Magdeburg and Hanover. From the city of Hanover, campers no longer have far to go to their holiday destination in the north.
Due to the size of northern Germany, the routes and therefore the possibilities for stopovers vary. If you want to make a stopover on the way to Bremen, we recommend the beautiful city of Leipzig in the eastern German state of Saxony. In addition to impressive architecture and interesting events, visitors will also find green parks to take a deep breath.
Whether it's the popular and lively island of Sylt, where peace and adventure go hand in hand, or the enchanting island of Amrum, where the surging North Sea provides relaxation - camping in northern Germany is always a special experience! Exciting towns such as Cuxhaven and Norddeich and enchanting islands such as Borkum await. The region is simply one of the most beautiful in Europe.
One of the German Frisian Islands in the North Sea, Sylt attracts a large number of camping enthusiasts year after year. The island is famous for its kilometres of beaches, fantastic campsites and the mudflats of the Wadden Sea. In addition to relaxation, guests can also enjoy culture here, such as the Kampen Summer of Literature and Culture, which takes place in July and August. Both young and older guests enjoy visiting the Naturgewalten adventure centre in List, which delights visitors with its interactive multimedia exhibitions.
The small island of Amrum is not far from Sylt and is ideal for those seeking peace and quiet. Campers will find nature as far as the eye can see and a little break from tourism. There is no airport, trendy bars or other tourist facilities on this island: just wonderfully quiet campsites, a clear view across the sea to the horizon and an impressive dune landscape - ideal for switching off. Another highlight of the island is Kniepsand: a slowly shifting sandbank to the west of Amrum.
The diverse landscapes and proximity to the sea make holidays and camping in northern Germany an exciting experience. The North fascinates numerous active holidaymakers from all over the world with its varied sports and leisure activities.
Campers will find a range of water sports on offer at the lake. Sailing, water skiing and wakeboarding are among the most popular activities on the water. The wind also provides ideal conditions for kitesurfing and windsurfing. It is also possible to hire a canoe and paddle over the waves. You can learn how to stand up on a surfboard and other skills at the numerous water sports schools. Diving courses are also occasionally offered there.
Anyone planning a trip to northern Germany should definitely visit the Hanseatic city of Bremen. The city is not far from Hamburg, which is also worth a visit, and attracts visitors with its rich culture. The city centre is lined with historically significant buildings in Hanseatic style and makes strolling through the streets and narrow alleyways a highlight in itself. Bremen Cathedral, which houses two crypts from the Middle Ages, and the magnificent Gothic town hall, which boasts a splendid Renaissance façade, are among the most popular excursion destinations in Bremen.
The cuisine in northern Germany is characterised by tasty specialities from the sea and many other delicacies. Guests can enjoy a wide variety of dishes that are lovingly prepared with fresh ingredients. A typical North German dish, for example, is Labskaus: a seafood dish with beef and beetroot that has long been part of classic North German cuisine. It is often served with matjes, herrings pickled in brine.
Another well-known dish from northern Germany is eel soup, traditionally a classic leftover dish that does not necessarily have to contain eel. Today, however, this is more common. The dessert dish Rote Grütze, which consists of cooked raspberries, strawberries, cherries and redcurrants and is usually eaten on its own, is a treat for all the senses.
Anyone travelling to northern Germany should be aware that this region is characterised by a relatively high number of rainy days and wind, so you should always be prepared for this when travelling. The tides are strong and alternate between high and low tide every 12 hours. Nevertheless, the climate in the north is considered maritime. Temperatures are moderate in the summer months and as the sea retains the heat of the summer, winters are mild.
Water temperatures vary depending on the campsite and can range from 10 to 20 degrees Celsius. For beach holidaymakers and sports enthusiasts, the months of June to September are ideal for making the most of the weather and climate in northern Germany. Culture lovers also favour this time of year.
