Find your perfect campsite from private on the island of Rügen

When you go camping on Rügen, more than "just" the chalk cliffs await you. With hinterland.camp you can discover the beauty of the island with its pristine beech forests, the Jasmund National Park and fine sandy beaches away from mass tourism and crowded campsites. Here we show you the most beautiful camping sites on Rügen, with nice, private hosts.

For whom is camping vacation on Rügen suitable?

Camping on Rügen combines nature experiences with a refreshing beach vacation. Here, you can explore the forested island with your family and friends or relax on your private  campsite right in the middle of the meadow. If you stay away from the hotspots like Sassnitz or Binz, the Baltic Sea island is perfect for those seeking tranquility and relaxation. But of course, an island wouldn't be an island without the various opportunities to be active on the beach. Get on a board, take your kite with you, or simply enjoy the fresh water temperature of the Baltic Sea as you swim.

Conclusion: Camping on Rügen is suitable for active vacationers as well as those who prefer to have a nature-oriented holiday and want to recover from work stress or urban hustle and bustle.

Team-Hinterland insider tip from Oli: "Rügen is more than just steep cliffs. Many people don't know how great the hiking opportunities are here. If you visit in the autumn or spring, I can recommend the Hochuferweg trail from Lohme to Sassnitz. Perhaps you'll be as lucky as I was and get to see a sea eagle soaring in Jasmund National Park."

Is wild camping actually allowed on Rügen?

As in other regions in Germany, wild camping is also not allowed on Rügen. The Nature Conservation Law of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern prohibits setting up tents in the wild or parking your camper in the forest on Rügen. But we have good news for you: We have tamed wild camping and offer you a genuine and nature-oriented camping experience on a private spot provided by our hosts. This can be camping on a farm in Rügen or a spot on a meadow for you and your camper.

Where can I go camping with my dog on Rügen?

If you want to take your dog camping to Rügen, it can be quite challenging to find "regular" campsites that accept dogs. Even if you find one, your four-legged companion will usually have to stay on a leash while on the site. By selecting the "dogs welcome" filter on hinterland.camp, you will only see private hosts with campsites on Rügen where your pet is welcome. This way, your vacation will not only be a highlight for you but also for your dog, without any leash stress. Of course, you should be mindful to ensure that your furry friend doesn't get too playful in the gardens or flowerbeds of your hosts.
