Camping at Lake Constance

Lake Constance is the largest inland lake in Germany and is not called the "Swabian Sea" for nothing. If you go camping here, you have the best opportunities for water sports of all kinds. The special thing about Lake Constance is that you can not only swim, sail or windsurf, but you are also in a very clean lake. The quality of Lake Constance water has improved in recent years, so that in some places the lake is almost drinking water quality. Thus, it is not surprising that the lake is incidentally used for drinking water supply in Baden-Württemberg. About 1 percent of the water that the Rhine brings from the Alps into the lake is used for drinking water.

Everyone would prefer to camp directly by the water. However, this leads to the fact that the campsites directly at Lake Constance are usually always very full and you have to share the shore with many other guests. A relaxed camping vacation is in our opinion different. Therefore, we go a different way and offer you a relaxed vacation feeling on a private campsite close to Lake Constance. If you want, you won't have it far to the lake and can enjoy all the benefits of the water landscape. But you can also relax away from the stressful tourist hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy your free time with your family, your children or friends.

If you want to go camping with a dog at Lake Constance, you first have to find a campsite that allows dogs. But especially on full campgrounds, many four-legged friends can not really come to rest. There is always something going on, there are other dogs and the space is limited. In addition, there are leash restrictions and stressful walks. With hinterland.camp this is easier. Simply select the filter "dogs welcome" when searching for a camping site near Lake Constance and we will show you the most beautiful sites for your camper, where you can usually let your dog run. This way, you and your best four-legged friend can both experience a very relaxed vacation. Our hosts often have their own dogs, so maybe even a dog vacation friendship arises?

The region around Lake Constance is very fertile. So in spring and summer you will find many opportunities to buy apples, vegetables or fruit directly from the farmer. Of course, there are also many possibilities to camp on the farm at Lake Constance. To find the best campsites nearby, simply set the filter at "farm vacation" when searching on Hinterland.camp. 

Team Hinterland insider tip from Oli: 
"In the early morning hours, Lake Constance is simply magical. This is especially true on windless days. The smooth surface of the water reflects the sky. I would recommend you to take your SUP with you and go paddling on the lake in the morning. It's also worth it to take a bit of a drive to get there."

It may sound a bit staid when we, who have tamed wild camping, recommend a boat trip to you. But in fact, the trip from Friedrichshafen by boat to Romanshorn in Switzerland brings a real vacation feeling. At the same time, it's on the water that you actually realize how big the lake is. When you disembark in Switzerland, you can stock up on chocolate before the return trip.

Lake Constance with its more than 30 species of fish is tempting if you would like to go fishing. But beware: In Baden-Württemberg as well as in Bavaria you need a fishing license. You must also have a local fishing license to be allowed to fish from Lake Constance. You can get a fishing license e.g. in Lindau at the tourist information.
