Camping in Bavaria

When you go camping in Germany, you should definitely put Bavaria on your list of destinations. The Free State is a must, especially for nature camping. To name just a few highlights:

• In Bavaria, you'll find around 430 large and smaller lakes. You can camp in places like Kochel am See or set up your base not far from the classic Starnberger See on a farm. If you're up for it, you can conquer ice-cold mountain lakes in the Alps, cool off in Lake Staffelsee, or take out the surfboard from your camper.
• Nature camping in Bavaria could also be called "mountain camping." After all, the state is home to the Alps, spread across the Chiemgau, Allgäu Alps, or Bavarian Pre-Alps. There, climbing enthusiasts can expect impressive peaks like the Benediktinerwand at 1,801 meters or the Geigelstein. Or you can camp with hinterland.camp not far from Watzmann and Zugspitze in the Berchtesgaden Alps. Speaking of mountains: We probably don't need to tell you that nature campers in Bavaria also have fun in winter. Ski touring, snowboarding, or skiing, everything is possible, and you'll be right in the middle of it with your camper.
• If you love forests, you will love Bavaria. With your motorhome or camper, you'll always be near a forest when nature camping in Bavaria. After all, the Free State has the largest forest area in Germany, covering over 2.6 million hectares. With hinterland.camp, you'll find perfect camping locations with easygoing hosts, from where you can embark on bushcrafting adventures in the woods or simply enjoy the tranquility of nature in a clearing.

Team-Hinterland insider tip from Oli: 

"On my tour with the camper through Bavaria, I was particularly impressed by the Bavarian Forest. We found a camping spot nearby and explored this wonderfully pristine primeval forest with mountain bikes. The special thing: you are in the middle of Europe, yet surrounded by almost untouched nature."

The most beautiful campsites in Bavaria for children are the ones that offer your kids a perfect vacation. Here's what you can consider when choosing your next camping location:

• Is there a lake with a shallow shore nearby, suitable for little children? Perfect spots for camping with kids at lakes in Bavaria are, for example, Kochel am See or the Staffelsee. Generally, Upper Bavaria, the region southwest of Munich, is ideal for camping with children. 
• Can children experience nature? With hinterland.camp, you can find camper pitches in Bavaria where you can park your camper on a farm, just like being with friends. There, your kids have the opportunity to experience the whole farm life live, not just in a picture book ☺ 
• Are there any "highlights" for bad weather nearby? There is nothing more annoying than having to drive long distances from your base with the camper. Therefore, it's perfect to have nearby attractions for absolute rainy days. It doesn't have to be a big city like Munich, but Bavaria has a lot to offer with Neuschwanstein Castle and plenty of castles and palaces.

Tip: Download a few movies onto your tablet for bad weather days. This way, you're independent from Wi-Fi or unstable mobile internet.

Camping in Bavaria with hinterland.camp is a true experience for you, your friends, and your family.

Hinterland camp promises you small, exquisite private pitches for your motorhome or camper in Bavaria, offering you a unique camping experience.

This means that you'll often feel like guests at a friend's place. Hospitable hosts will welcome you and provide a campsite on a meadow, by a stream, or in their garden.

Camping on a farm in Bavaria is something very special. It can indeed happen that you are awakened in the morning by the crowing of a rooster. We have experienced that ourselves often enough while testing the locations. Sometimes, your pitch is a meadow right next to the cow pasture, and you'll hear the tinkling of bells and the occasional mooing. Dogs, cats, sheep, chickens – depending on the location, you can expect the full program.

If this sounds like your thing, simply choose the appropriate search filter on hinterland.camp. It will then display all the locations for camping on a farm in Bavaria.
