Camping boom in Havelland: places in demand like never before!

Camping boom in Havelland: places in demand like never before!

Camping in Brandenburg, especially in the picturesque Havelland, is experiencing an exciting boom. More and more nature lovers are drawn to this region, which is reflected not only in the number of inquiries but also in the number of pitches occupied. A prime example of this is the Havelblick holiday farm in Ketzin/Havel, where Jenny Neumann, who took over the family business in 2020, proudly reports: “Our permanent campsites are full and the waiting lists are getting longer and longer.” According to maz-online.de, the farm offers a total of 20 parking spaces - a balanced mix of 10 for long-term campers and 10 for short-term guests.

The prices are more than fair: an average of 27.50 euros per night for two people, including electricity, showers and garbage disposal. While guests typically stay for 3 days, during holiday periods the stay extends up to 10 days. It's no wonder that demand for campsites has increased in recent years: by a whopping 50% from 2000 to 2020, and with a further 50% increase since the start of the pandemic.

High demand and waiting lists

Marcel Störk, managing director of Campingpark Buntspecht, can only confirm the high demand: “We have 20 people on the waiting list for long-term camping.” The operators of the campsite on the Havel Canal in Zeestow, Michael and Volker Gaedicke, are also seeing a lot of visitors: 145 of 185 pitches are already occupied. These trends show that the desire for nature and freedom is drawing people out of the city and into the green landscapes.

It's also worth taking a look at the prices for permanent campsites: the bill costs around 1,100 euros per year for 100 square meters of space. However, the rainy days in July caused a temporary drop in demand, operators said.

The camping landscape in Europe offers a wide range of options. If you are looking for special experiences, you will find over 3,500 campsites in France and Europe at campings.com.
