5 star camping in Bavaria

Young and old alike love the numerous possibilities at the well-equipped ADAC Super Pitches in Bavaria: children splash around in the spacious water park and adults take care of their health and well-being in the therapy and wellness centre. During the day, they can go on excursions in the wonderful Bavarian countryside and in the evening they can enjoy a cosy end to the day at the luxurious and clean campsite.

Destinations

At Kur- & Feriencamping Holmernhofs Dreiquellenbad, luxury camping and spa treatments can be ideally combined. The quiet location in Bad Griesbach im Rottal is the perfect starting point for relaxation and healing wellness. Surrounded by wide fields and a beautiful natural swimming pond with a pebbled shore, this award-winning 5-star campsite in Bavaria has an indoor pool with thermal water including a relaxation zone and open fireplace. You can also relax in the saltwater pool and in the steam and salt grotto. Action enthusiasts will love the numerous fitness and sports facilities: For example, you can take a Nordic walking course, walk along the barefoot path and practise on the golf practice course with pitching and putting green. Children can have fun in the spacious playground with stilt course, wobbly footbridge and climbing garden.

Another 5-star campsite in Bavaria is Strandcamping Waging right by Lake Waginger See. Swimming fans will love the lido with its pebble shore, sunbathing lawn, non-swimmer area, diving board and slides. There are also plenty of opportunities to do sports by the water: Beach volleyball, soccer, table tennis and boccia can be played on site. There is also a beautiful wellness garden with Kneipp facilities, but this high-quality campsite has even more highlights to offer: Campfire evenings, cycle tours around the lake, bus transfers to pony rides and slackline courses are just some of the exceptional offers. Dog owners can look forward to their own training area and separate area by the lake for their beloved four-legged friends.

Top tips

• The aforementioned Waginger See is the warmest bathing lake in Upper Bavaria and ideal for swimming enthusiasts. But nature lovers and fans of culinary delights will also get their money's worth here: they can visit local organic farmers, farm shops or innkeepers who offer dishes made from high-quality regional produce.
• A very special insider tip is the forest pool in Nandlstadt. Natural water with a stone water island, surrounded by idyllic nature, and all for free. Catering is provided by the beer garden with traditional dishes.
• How about the most delicious veal sausage in the world? The Maierwirt in Enzelhausen is said to have it. It's best to try it for yourself and decide whether you agree.

Activities and excursions

Bavaria not only has wonderful nature with fascinating mountains and clear lakes to offer, but also countless attractions that are sure to turn your camping holiday into something quite extraordinary. In keeping with 5-star camping, only excursions that meet this standard are offered.

Stroll through the world's longest castle

How about a trip to the longest castle in the world? Burghausen Castle stretches for more than a kilometre between the Wöhrsee lake and the Salzach river above the medieval old town of Burghausen. Here you can not only marvel at the fascinating walls, towers and chapels, but also many an exhibition. In addition, groups of artists regularly perform here and there are interesting concerts and plays on site.

Swimming fun for young and old in the adventure pool

Prien am Chiemsee is home to the Prienavera adventure pool with its very special and unusual architecture. Through the many windows of the indoor pool you can see not only the wide lake, but also Herrenchiemsee Castle and the Chiemgau Alps. The spectacular view alone is enough to relax you. You can also relax in the whirlpool and sauna or enjoy a massage in the wellness area. Children can spend the whole day in the adventure pool with white water channel and on the seventy metre long slide.

A paradise for children in Ravensburger Spieleland

In the Ravensburger Spieleland leisure park and holiday village, holidaymakers can look forward to more than seventy highlights in eight themed worlds: These range from Ravensburger games in XXL format and an explorer land with thrills to a hands-on land where the little ones can lend a hand themselves. For example, children can make their own chocolate, get a driving licence and change bikes in a workshop. They can also pan for gold in this playland, ride on an animal carousel and tractor and much more.
