4 star camping in Europe

If you love camping, want to treat yourself and enjoy maximum comfort, 4-star camping is just the thing for you. In Germany, the four stars stand for a high level of comfort and excellent facilities, be it the structural condition of the campsite, the cleanliness of the sanitary facilities or the service of the staff. But accessibility also plays a role here and, of course, the various connections of the pitches for motorhomes or caravans.

Special features of the 4-star campsite

As the 4-star campsite suggests, the site has been specially inspected and recognised as first-class in certain respects. Similar to hotels, these points are cleanliness, safety, an all-round organised service, a high quality of furnishings and equipment and a special overall impression for guests. Travellers can discover such campsites all over Germany, whether in Bavaria, Lower Saxony or the Mecklenburg Lake District. For example, camping holidays can also be perfectly combined with swimming or hiking experiences.

Destinations

From the north-west of Germany, which is characterised by many lakes and heathland landscapes, to the Bavarian Alps, there are some particularly great destinations for campers who want to have a really good time. Lake Chiemsee is located exactly between Munich and Salzburg and a little to the west of it is its little brother, Lake Simssee. Belonging to the small town of Bad Endorf, Lake Simssee is much quieter than Lake Chiemsee and is still a real insider tip. Camping Stein is located right by the water. The site has comfortable pitches, which not only have electricity and water connections, but also satellite and W-LAN reception. The immediate proximity to Lake Simssee and the shallow sandy beach will make the hearts of bathing enthusiasts beat faster. The site is also worthwhile for families with children, as in addition to a large playground and a playroom, there is also a petting zoo with ponies and donkeys. Wettringen is located in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the immediate vicinity of Lower Saxony and not far from the Dutch border. There are many natural lakes in this area, one of which is Haddorfer See. The Haddorfer Seen camping park, which has been awarded four stars, is also located here. Around 500 pitches are located directly on the beach, so guests are never far from the cool water. The premium pitches are quite large at 100 - 110 m², with running water, electricity and satellite connections. The large pine grove in which the camping park continues offers a special atmosphere. In the shade of the majestic trees, guests feel like they are in a forest and can find a cool refuge under the shady conifers in summer. A particular plus for dog owners: pets are expressly permitted!

Top tips

• A 4-star campsite like this has everything you need - so why leave the site? Quite simply because there are many things to explore in the region! Every holiday resort has its own special features, which you can find out about at reception. Perhaps there is a particularly beautiful hiking route or viewpoints that you shouldn't miss!
• Travellers should book well in advance, especially during the summer holidays. There is a lot of interest in 4-star campsites. It is better to secure a premium or comfort pitch early.
• Discover activities even on bad weather days - most 4-star campsites offer a wide range of indoor activities. These can be playrooms for the children, indoor swimming pools, billiard rooms or fitness rooms. It's worth asking!
• If it is not explicitly mentioned on the website, dog owners should enquire in advance whether pets are allowed. This is not always the case.
• If there are disabled guests or senior citizens who are no longer able to walk well, guests should enquire in advance whether the campsite is barrier-free and wheelchair accessible. After all, all family or group members want to enjoy their holiday to the full and without restrictions.
• If you are travelling with small children, check whether there are highchairs and cots available. These can often be borrowed from reception.

Activities and excursions

Relax and enjoy in comfort - what options do 4-star campsites offer?

Not just 4 stars on the pitch - feasting in worthwhile restaurants

Most 4-star campsites also have restaurants with good cuisine. It's worth trying them out for an evening. Guests can enjoy themselves and find culinary delights that go far beyond the normal campsite snack bar. Guests can be entertained in a good atmosphere and enjoy a nice lunch or a great dinner.

Swimming fun indoors or outdoors - in the swimming pool or by the lake

In most cases, 4-star campsites have either access to a lake or their own indoor swimming pool. Families with children in particular can spend one or more lovely afternoons there and enjoy the sun on the particularly clean and well-kept beaches or take a dip in the cool water - perhaps with a game of water polo? Indoor swimming pools also offer a lot of fun in the water. There are often even water slides or special events for children to ensure they have an unforgettable and enjoyable time!
