The good things are so close: top spa camping in Germany

Germany, in particular, offers a wide range of first-class spa camping holidays. Beach lovers are drawn to the seaside resorts on the North Sea or Baltic Sea. The fresh sea air radiates soothing cosiness from the moment you arrive. In addition to wellness and spa treatments, campers can take revitalising walks along the coast and listen to the sound of the waves. But there are also many regions in the interior of Germany that offer ideal conditions for spa camping. In North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate, there are many healing springs that have a positive effect on health. The Lower Bavarian spa triangle is known for its exceptional spa programmes. A huge number of thermal, mineral and saltwater spas can be found in Baden-Württemberg in particular.

Of course, there are also plenty of great spa campsites outside Germany. Especially in winter, mild temperatures attract many holidaymakers to the south - for example to Italy and Croatia. The pleasant climate there means you can stroll along the beach and breathe in the fresh sea air all year round.
