Campsites by the sea
Of course, we don't have to tell you that campsites by the sea can top all of the above. A camp in the hinterland, not far from the beach, sun and waves is a dream for many of our guests. The great thing about hinterland.camp is that you can enjoy the full variety of our camps by the water. And close to nature, in a secluded location with friendly hosts. Have you ever been on a camping trip to the Baltic Sea or North Sea and realized that all the campsites are completely overcrowded, that you have to book months in advance to get a place on a campsite at all and that you end up standing close together in small areas...? So have we, which is why we have tamed wild camping for you and acquired campsites from private individuals that are in secluded locations, in the middle of nature and far away from mass tourism. If you're looking for a new camping experience on the Baltic Sea or North Sea, you can get inspiration from our guide to the most beautiful campsites on the Baltic Sea or North Sea.
