Camping Revolution 2025: Germany's top places are conquering hearts!
The love of camping is booming in Germany! More than 17 million overnight stays were recorded at campsites in the first half of 2025, setting a new record. Camping.info, one of the largest platforms for camping holidays in Europe, has published a list of the 100 most popular campsites for 2025. Germany remains at the top three times with 41 out of 100 places in the rankings, while Italy follows with 19, Austria with 15 and Croatia with 14 places. This further highlights the popularity of the camper lifestyle, as Nordkurier reports.
The top 10 campsites in Germany are a veritable who’s who of the best pitches, led by the island camp Fehmarn in Schleswig-Holstein. The following places follow:
| Place | Camping place | Federal State |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Island Camp Fehmarn | Schleswig-Holstein |
| 2 | Camping Park Kühlungsborn | Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania |

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in focus
Particularly noteworthy is Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which shines with several places in the top ten. Campingpark Kühlungsborn not only ranks second in Germany, but also seventh in Europe. This is a clear indicator of the high popularity of this region. The Baltic Sea coast is valued for its wide beaches, seaside resorts and fishing towns and attracts a particularly large number of campers who are looking for water sports and relaxation in nature. This is also shown by the Camping.info foundation, which rates the sites highly for their location in nature.
The Mecklenburg Lake District with its 1,117 natural lakes offers further opportunities for water sports enthusiasts and nature lovers. Particularly well-known is the Müritz, the largest lake in this region and a popular destination for families and water sports enthusiasts. There are both large leisure facilities and smaller, family-run campsites that offer a perfect symbiosis of adventure and relaxation.
Trends and recommendations
A look at the trends shows that 21 percent of Germans aged 16 and over are campers, and the trend continues to rise. When it comes to the most popular campsites, the places on the Baltic Sea coast and the Mecklenburg Lake District could particularly score points. However, for campers who want to travel spontaneously, it is recommended to book the pitches early, as they are often busy in high season.
As the websites of Camping.info, Nordkurier and Stern confirm with various rankings and reports, it is very clear: Camping in Germany is not just a leisure activity, but an attitude to life that appeals to more and more people. With the growing number of overnight stays and highly rated campsites, an unforgettable break in nature is within reach for many.
