Camp­ing and camper­van sites in Nieder­sachsen


There are many good reasons to holiday with a campervan or tent. You’re close to nature, you always have your own accommodation with you, and it gives you a feeling of unlimited freedom if you can forego a hotel room and move from one place to another on the spur of the moment.

When temperatures begin to rise, it’s time to get your campervan ready again. Whether you prefer to travel with a tent, a caravan or a campervan, Niedersachsen is a not-to-be-missed destination. Its diverse landscapes, towns and cities hold a great deal of interest. For example, you can head for Niedersachsen’s North Sea coast and its UNESCO world heritage site, the Wadden Sea, enjoy being close to the Netherlands in Emsland and the County of Bentheim, experience the splendour of Lüneburg Heath when the heather is in bloom, relax not far from vibrant cities, or escape the daily hustle and bustle completely at peaceful farms and in half-timbered villages.
