One look at the amenities list says it all: who wouldn't want a year-round slice of paradise in the Iller Valley with its own swimming lake? Guest reviews often mention the soothing serenity on the grounds, where the spacious layout ensures plenty of privacy. Holidaymakers also rave online about relaxing afternoon SUP sessions and Greek specialities right at the campsite. And it is guaranteed never to get boring here: your children will make friends in no time at the new mini club. In an interview, the operators share a charming anecdote about how the site got its name: during gravel excavation for today's lake, the sight of a worker with a shovel handle in the water was reminiscent of Saint Christopher with his walking staff.

PiNCAMP interview with the campsite manager
Exclusive information you won't find anywhere else.
1- How would you describe the atmosphere at your campsite in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening?
The morning is characterised by calm, freshness, and a slow start to the day. The scent of coffee and fresh rolls from our kiosk. At lunchtime, a refreshing swim in the lake, SUP boarding, or a bike tour along the Iller is on the agenda. In the evening, grilling is often done. Guests go to the restaurant or chat over a glass of wine and enjoy the sunset.
2- Introduce yourself!
As passionate campers, we know sites all over Europe and use our good contacts with leading associations such as ADAC, camping.info, or BVCD to modernise Camping Christophorus with targeted investments. In our role as management, we appreciate this incredibly varied daily routine and look forward to implementing fresh ideas every day. The most beautiful part of our work, however, remains meeting new guests daily and providing them with an unforgettable holiday.
3- Is there a local product guests take home as a souvenir?
Holiday happiness to take home: Get the perfect memory of Camping Christophorus directly to your home with our cute fabric squirrel Chris and real regional honey.
4- Is there a place where children make new friends especially easily?
With us, even the youngest experience unforgettable adventures! On our playgrounds, they dig in the sand and laugh. In the water of our indoor pool or by the lake, they can splash around wonderfully and make their first holiday acquaintances. An absolute highlight for the little ones is feeding and cuddling our well-behaved camping bunnies. The holiday program is perfect for a carefree and happy holiday season.
5- Is there a situation where you repeatedly realize: "this is exactly why we do what we do"?
It simply never gets boring! Every morning we start with the knowledge that it brings new challenges and great encounters. We welcome people from all over the world and of all nationalities here. Added to this is a great team, the fantastic location of our site with real recreational value.
6- Is there a story of the campsites history you enjoy telling your guests?
When, during gravel extraction for the current swimming lake, a worker stood in the water with his shovel stick, his striking appearance immediately reminded the founders of the traditional image of Saint Christopher with his pilgrim's staff. Since this saint is simultaneously the patron saint of travellers and motorists, the name was a perfect fit for mobile holidaymakers. Thus, from this unique encounter in the water, the name "Camping Christophorus" was born.
7- What is the most spectacular accommodation you have on your site?
The spectacular Milan holiday home is named precisely after the majestic bird of prey. It combines the feeling of boundless freedom amidst untouched nature with the comfort of a modern, upscale home. Perfect for 2 adults and up to 2 children. Thanks to the all-round service, you arrive with beds already made - simply arrive, put down your suitcases, and immediately feel at home.
8- What is typical of your campsite, but difficult to explain on photos?
Christophorus Campground offers spacious campsites starting at 100 m² for maximum privacy. The campground’s open layout guarantees plenty of space and creates a peaceful atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle.
9- What makes your site different and stand out from other campsites nearby?
Camping Christophorus stands out with its combination of a swimming lake where SUP boarding is allowed and a weather-independent wellness oasis. Its quiet location in the flat Illertal offers ideal cycle paths directly from the site for families and leisure cyclists. In addition, the location allows for quick excursions to the cultural cities of Ulm and Memmingen, as well as to large amusement parks like Legoland or Skylinepark.
10- What should guests not miss—even if it’s not mentioned in any travel guide?
Evening light on the benches by the swimming lake and the fish ladder on the Iller: Lake Sinningen bathing lake unfolds an almost magical, meditative aura in the evening hours. A relaxed stroll to the fish ladder away from the hustle and bustle is the perfect end to the day here.
11- Which encounter between guests has stayed particularly memorable for you?
Unusual combinations such as mini-campers behind motorcycles, historic tractors with caravans, or open beach buggies remain particularly memorable. International guests from overseas also enjoy using the site for relaxation.
12- Which regional food or drink should guests absolutely try?
The on-site restaurant combines Southern German beverage culture with Greek cuisine, which is why guests should definitely try a regional Hefeweizen and a traditional Ouzo. These drinks ideally accompany popular meat and grilled specialities such as the Souvlaki plate or the Hellas platter directly at the site.
13- Which spot on your campsite makes guests say “WOW”?
Our campsite offers the perfect combination of breathtaking natural scenery and year-round comfort. Four seasons directly by the swimming lake. In summer, take a dip in the cool water, in winter, the wellness area steams, while guests gaze at the snow-capped mountains. Directly start exploring nature, whether by e-bike, SUP, or with the whole family on the mini-golf course.
14- Which story do children tell when they are back from holiday?
When children come home from their holiday at Camping Christophorus, they are bursting with enthusiasm and tell of their experiences. They first report on the daily swimming fun in the lake, where they can splash around in the water. Their eyes light up particularly when they talk about the holiday programme of the "church on the move". Added to this are the white rabbits they were allowed to feed and extensively pet.
15- Which strength of your campsite is often underestimated online?
The familiar feel-good atmosphere, where guests can switch off, the relaxing tranquillity away from everyday life to recharge and gladly return, is the greatest strength of Camping Christophorus. The average length of stay of guests has continuously increased in recent years. Guests also appreciate direct access to nature.

Adequately sized pitches, clean and spacious sanitary facilities (happily without extra costs), a beautiful swimming lake right next door, good opportunities for easy cycling (Iller bike path) and walking, friendly staff and reasonable pricing. Unfortunately, the A7 is very close, a constant hum of the highway is hard to ignore; the kiosk is a bit disappointing with overpriced items and not really competent or polite service - there is still room for improvement...

The campsite is very beautiful, especially the swimming lake. Only the sanitary facilities were quite dirty. Perhaps they are cleaned too seldom or some campers simply leave their trash behind.

We had a large pitch and spent lovely days at this campsite. The toilets and showers are very well-maintained and clean. The swimming lake was a bit chilly in September, but has very good water quality. We would be happy to return.

More info about Camping Christophorus
Camping Christophorus welcomes its guests in a natural setting right next to a bathing lake. The family-friendly campsite in a quiet location in Kirchberg an der Iller is an attractive starting point for an active holiday in the Illertal valley in Baden-Württemberg and offers a small wellness area with swimming pool and sauna as a highlight.
Family-friendly camping right by the bathing lake
The Sinninger bathing lake and two other smaller lakes surround the Camping Christophorus campsite. The pitches are spread over a large meadow area along the water. Some of the sunny pitches are in the first row directly on the lakeside path behind the lake. Individual hedges and bushes partially parcel out the pitches. Bungalows, huts and caravans for hire are available as alternative accommodation. In the warm summer months, guests can enjoy pure bathing fun in the lakes with sunbathing lawns. In cooler temperatures, the campsite's own swimming pool is the highlight for water lovers. A special feature is the wellness area with solarium, bio sauna, Finnish sauna, Kneipp pool, massage loungers and relaxation area. The campsite is ideal for family holidays with its large children's playground and summer children's entertainment. A game of mini golf, table tennis, volleyball or a round of football on the multi-purpose sports field is fun for the whole family and offers the opportunity to socialise with other campsite guests.
A sociable and active camping holiday
The restaurant with its cosy lounge is the meeting place at Camping Christophorus. With its Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, it is a tasty alternative to self-catering. The bowling alley attached to the restaurant promises sociable fun. Guests also enjoy socialising at various events, such as the annual Easter bonfire and baking bread on sticks, where they can quickly make new contacts with like-minded people. Guests can pre-order bread rolls to start the day if they wish. Everyday necessities, food and snacks are available in the campsite's own mini shop and kiosk. The campsite is located in the neighbourhood of the River Iller. The cycle path along the river is a great way to explore the surrounding area on two wheels. Kirchberg an der Iller is 2.5 km away. The nearest town with plenty of shopping and dining options as well as a charming old town is Memmingen, 25 km away. Ulm is 40 km away for a city trip and is worth a visit with sights such as Ulm Minster and Ulm Zoo, which is interesting for families. Whether relaxing by the lake with sunbathing lawn or in the sauna area or being active with bowling or a game of table tennis: Camping Christophorus offers a mix of a relaxing holiday right by the bathing lake and many active leisure activities on the site and in the surrounding area for the whole family. One highlight is the campsite's own swimming pool for swimming fun whatever the weather. Changing events and children's entertainment ensure that there is never a dull moment.
