Camping in the Altmark

In the north of Saxony-Anhalt, the campsites in the Altmark welcome families with children and those interested in culture with plenty of comfort and varied leisure activities. Medieval half-timbered towns and historic watermills characterise the charming landscape of the region, as does the Havel glistening in the sun. Travellers with dogs can explore the extensive network of hiking trails around the climatic health resort of Arendsee, in the Drömling Nature Park or in Altmärkische Schweiz.

Special features of camping in the Altmark

The natural location of the campsites in the Altmark is ideal for adventurous tours, for example along the 18 nature trails or on the Elbe cycle path. Families with children and holidaymakers with dogs in particular get their money's worth when camping in the Altmark, with the wonderful tranquillity and expansive views over the flat, water-dominated landscape ensuring relaxation, regardless of whether guests are staying in the Stendal holiday region near the zoo or high ropes course or in the Altmark district of Salzwedel near the fairytale park. The campsites are located in the most beautiful places in the region, for example at the gates of the Hanseatic town of Tangermünde, on the edge of extensive wooded areas or in a picturesque location directly on the shores of Lake Arendsee.

Best time to visit

As part of the northern German lowlands, the Altmark has a continental climate with pleasantly warm summers, mild winters and regular rainfall. In the summer months, the thermometer rises to daily highs of 28°C - perfect for refreshing water fun, for example at the attractive bathing spots of Lake Arendsee. Hiking enthusiasts, on the other hand, enjoy exploring the Path of Recreation in Schollene in spring and autumn, for example. In the summer months of June and July, holidaymakers can look forward to an average of 8 hours of sunshine a day. If the sun does hide behind clouds, the art or car museum in Wolfsburg or the 17,000m² Havelberg adventure pool invite you to visit.
