Camping on the Polish Baltic coas

At the Baltic Sea in Poland, you wake up with a view of the wide blue horizon and immediately take a stroll along the sea while inhaling the fresh air. The sound of the water, the wide, sandy beach and the gentle rays of sunshine on your skin create an incredibly peaceful and cosy atmosphere - you can feel the relaxation as soon as you arrive.

Special features of camping on the Polish Baltic coast

Culture lovers choose a campsite near the Hanseatic city of Gdansk , which is located directly on the Baltic Sea. Sights such as the Golden Gate and the High Gate can be visited here. But many other cities on the Polish Baltic Sea, such as Darlowo and Gdynia, are also suitable for cultural excursions.

Water sports enthusiasts can look forward to the many great opportunities and centres along the entire Polish coast. For windsurfers and kitesurfers, the Putziger Wiek near the Hel peninsula, the western and shallow section of Gdansk Bay, is particularly recommended - snowkiting is also particularly popular here in winter. For classic bathing fans, it is not easy to make recommendations for campsites on the Polish Baltic Sea coast, as this region has plenty of fantastic beaches to offer.

Getting there

The Polish Baltic coast can be reached particularly quickly from the north of Germany and is definitely suitable for a weekend trip. It is 510 kilometres from Hamburg to the above-mentioned town of Rewal - which is located in the west, close to Germany. The shortest route is via Berlin: first take the A24 motorway, followed by the A10 and finally the A11. In Poland, this motorway becomes the A6, which runs north towards the Baltic Sea to Rewal.

After around 770 kilometres, you can reach the eastern part of the Polish Baltic Sea from Hamburg, for example to Gdansk. It is best to take the same route via Berlin, but then head further east instead of north at Szczecin. To do this, change from the A6 to the DK10 and from Walcz take the DK22.

A few refreshment stops should be made, especially on the second route. How about a walk in a natural paradise before you reach the Baltic Sea? The Szczecin/Buchheide Landscape Park, south of the city of Szczecin, is located on both routes and is ideal for stretching your legs.

Catering

Camping on the Polish Baltic coast is the perfect way to get to know and savour the culinary delights of this beautiful region. A real treat for the palate, especially in the north, is of course tasty seafood and fresh fish dishes, such as matjes - mild herring processed in a brine. But cod pâté, fish soup and classic fried trout will also make your mouth water.

On a camping holiday in Poland, you should of course also try the national dish: Bigos is a cabbage stew with white cabbage, pork, sausage, wild mushrooms and onions. There are several variations on this recipe throughout Poland - for example with carrots, dried plums and bay leaf. This delicious dish is usually served with pieces of bread or potatoes.

Destinations on the Polish Baltic coast

Camping on the Polish Baltic coast is incredibly diverse, which means that there is sure to be something to suit every traveller. From small , idyllic places with plenty of peace and quiet, to seaside towns with lots to offer.

Rewal

The village of Rewal with its wide, white beaches, beautiful cliffs and a great promenade is particularly popular with beach fans. Here you can shop in the cosy market square, watch the fishermen by the sea and explore the idyllic landscape by bike. In Rewal you can enjoy a relaxed camping holiday in the countryside.

Kolberg

In Kolberg, a holiday in beautiful nature can be ideally combined with sightseeing, partying and wellness. Connoisseurs spend a lot of time in the wonderful dune landscapes of the Baltic Sea, culture lovers visit Kolberg's old fortress, party animals visit one of the bars or clubs and holidaymakers who want to pamper themselves go to the Polish seaside resort of Kolberg, which offers particularly great spa treatments.

Swinoujscie

The town of Swinoujscie is one of the largest spa resorts in Poland. A plethora of spa and wellness centres create the perfect setting to relax, prevent or treat ailments and illnesses. But the pleasant and healing climate of the Baltic Sea alone fills travellers with comfort and well-being.

Weather

The north of Poland is characterised by a maritime climate, i.e. the influence of the sea. In the warm and humid summer months of July and August, the temperature is around 23 degrees Celsius. The water temperature during this time is around 17 degrees Celsius. Beach holidays are particularly recommended from June to September.

From December to March it is frosty - winters are damp and cold. January and February are the coolest months on the Baltic Sea in Poland, with an average temperature of 2 degrees Celsius. In April, May, October and November, temperatures vary between 7 and 17 degrees Celsius. Those seeking peace and quiet and sports enthusiasts in particular flock to the Baltic Sea in Poland at these times of year.

Activities and excursions

Whether in the countryside or in the city, classic sightseeing or an unusual programme: camping on the Polish Baltic coast leaves nothing to be desired.

Cultural excursions to the cities of the Baltic Sea

The magnificent Renaissance castle in Szczecin not only exhibits great works of art, but also hosts concerts, theatre plays and much more throughout the year. In summer, you can take a walk up the bell tower, from where you have a wonderful view of the region. The old town centre of Gdansk is also worth a visit , with numerous sights such as the red hall of the town hall with its fascinating ceiling painting or St Mary's Church with a tower to climb.

Travelling by boat on land

The Elbląg Canal offers a more natural experience, with the ship travelling not only on the water but also on land. As there is a height difference of almost a hundred metres to overcome on the route, the boats and their passengers are loaded onto trolleys and pulled through the countryside on rails. Once the difference in altitude has been overcome, the ship is returned to the water.
