Special features of camping on the Kiel Fjord

Families like to choose the campsites on the Kiel Fjord in the north. From here, it's not far to the beautiful Baltic Sea beaches. Those seeking peace and quiet can take a seat on the shore and watch the passing ocean liners heading for Kiel harbour. One of the spots is located near the popular Baltic Sea resort of Laboe with its breathtaking coastal scenery.

Water sports enthusiasts are in their element in the Kiel Fjord. Sailors and surfers can perfect their technique at the water sports school in Kiel Friedrichsort. There is also the opportunity to try out the trendy sport of stand-up paddling (SUP).
