Camping by the lake: discover camps right by the water

We don't need to tell you any more about the great recreational value of a nearby lake. Swimming, diving, paddling or SUPing are just some of the things you can do on a body of water. And at the same time, the view of the water offers the perfect opportunity to really switch off from the stresses of everyday life. And if you're on vacation in a secluded location by the lake and don't have to share your camp with anyone else, your camping vacation is perfect.

We have tamed wild camping for you and make it possible for you to relax and enjoy your vacation and leisure time in nature with a tent, camper or caravan. If your goal is to go swimming, simply select the "By the lake" filter in the search and we will show you fantastic  campsites nearby a lake. You're just a few clicks away from camping in the Black Forest on a beautiful lake all to yourself or a vacation in the Harz Mountains by a lake. Of course, Bavaria with its many lakes is not to be missed.

If you enter "campsite by the lake" in a standard search engine, you'll mainly find the usual campsites.
