Camping in Hamburg combines city flair with proximity to nature. The cosmopolitan city on the Elbe is therefore perfect for campers who want to combine exciting city trips with relaxing cycle tours along the Elbe and excursions to the Wadden Sea. The campsites are located in idyllic surroundings and are well connected to the many sights of the harbour city. There are also a number of motorhome pitches in the city centre.

Special features of camping in Hamburg

Coastal flair, screeching seagulls and salty sea air. Big city hustle and bustle on the Reeperbahn in St. Pauli and fish sandwiches at the harbour. This is Hamburg - the second largest city in Germany and the country's most important harbour city thanks to its location on the Elbe. It is also not far from the North Sea coast. This makes Hamburg a favourite destination for campers who want to enjoy the fresh air on the coast.

Most of the campsites are located on the outskirts and at the gates of Hamburg. The perfect location for visiting the harbour, the Reeperbahn and the other famous sights of Hamburg. Particularly popular are the campsites on the Elbe, some of which even have a beach. If you are travelling to Hamburg by motorhome, you will also find a number of motorhome stopovers in central locations. There are even pitches at the famous fish market and on the harbour road: Here, campers can experience city life and the hustle and bustle of the city at close quarters and, in good weather, relax in the sun on the Elbe beach.

Popular campsites in Hamburg

The campsites in Hamburg are well equipped and often offer rental accommodation, mobile homes or holiday flats in addition to pitches. You can hire bicycles or canoes at many sites and some of the sites on the Elbe also have mooring facilities for campers with their own boat.

Buchholz campsite

It couldn't be more central: the Buchholz campsite is located in the centre of Hamburg near Hagenbeck Zoo and is the first port of call for campers who want to explore Hamburg on a city trip. Thanks to its ideal location, the city centre is even within walking distance. There are also good public transport connections.

KNAUS Campingpark Hamburg

The place for those who want to camp a little further out. The KNAUS Campingpark is located north of the city centre in a beautiful location in a large park. Despite its proximity to the A7 motorway, the site is very quiet. The bus stop is only a few minutes' walk away. From here it is about 15 minutes to the city centre.

Elbecamp campsite

The Elbecamp campsite is the best choice for nature lovers. As the name suggests, the site is located directly on the banks of the Elbe in the idyllic Falkenstein nature reserve. The unspoilt pitches are located between trees and bushes and offer a surprisingly unspoilt camping experience right on the outskirts of the city. A real insider tip thanks to the beach location, especially in summer!

Favourite places in the region

Hamburg offers countless opportunities for activities in the city and excursions in the surrounding area. A classic is the Elbe beach at Övelgönne, which is one of the most beautiful beaches in Hamburg. Also not to be missed is a harbour cruise in the port of Hamburg. And if you want to get out into nature, take a trip to the North Sea and the Wadden Sea National Park, for example.

Elbe beach at Övelgönne

The Elbe beach at Övelgönne is the perfect place to switch off and unwind. The sandy beach stretches for around 13 kilometres to the mouth of the Elbe and provides a holiday feeling in the middle of the city. Barbecues are permitted in many places and there are countless cosy restaurants and cafés near the beach. Övelgönne is a worthwhile destination even without the sandy beach - the beautiful houses are among the most sought-after addresses in the city.

Mudflat hike in the Wadden Sea on the North Sea

It's not far from Hamburg to the coast. Friedrichskoog in the Wadden Sea National Park on the North Sea can be reached by car in just under an hour and a half. Here you can take part in a tour of the mudflats and experience the wonder of the low tide with all your senses. While you wade through the mud with your feet, you learn more about the wildlife of the mudflats and the formation of the Wadden Sea. If you want, you can also take part in a special crab fishing tour.

Round trip in Hamburg harbour

The harbour cruise belongs to Hamburg like the Ampelmännchen belongs to Berlin! Various providers offer trips lasting from half an hour to two hours. Depending on the water level, the big harbour cruise from Barkassen Meyer takes you to the Speicherstadt, past the Hamburg Elbe bridges, the container terminals and the large docks of Blohm + Voss. There is also humorous information about Hamburg's harbour world.

Sights & excursions

  • Speicherstadt: As the world's largest contiguous warehouse complex, Hamburg's Speicherstadt was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.
  • Elbphilharmonie: The glass concert hall with its curved design was opened in 2016 and is intended to be a cultural monument for all. However, tickets must be ordered well in advance.
  • Reeperbahn: In what is probably Germany's most famous entertainment district, you can dance the night away in numerous clubs.
  • Miniatur Wunderland: A whole miniature world has been created in the centre of the Speicherstadt warehouse district. At around 1500 square metres, the Wunderland is the largest model railway layout in the world.
  • St Michael's Church: At 132 metres high, "Der Michel" offers an impressive view of the city.

Tour tip

The flat landscape around Hamburg makes the city the perfect starting point for long bike tours. A classic is the Elbe cycle path, which you can cycle from Hamburg in several directions: Either to the coast to Cuxhaven or towards central Germany, for example to Wittenberge. No matter which side you choose: The wonderful river landscapes of the Elbe offer great scenic experiences throughout and make a tour on the Elbe cycle path an absolute pleasure.
