Germany is experiencing a camping boom: in 2024, campsites recorded about 42.9 million overnight stays, 20% more than before the pandemic. Pitch prices are rising due to high demand, especially in popular regions like the North and Baltic Sea coasts, Lake Constance, the Black Forest, and the Allgäu. During peak season (July–August), many pitches are booked months in advance. The cost depends on location, travel time, and comfort level: simple pitches away from tourist centers remain affordable, while well-equipped sites by the water can rival hotel prices. To save money, travelers are advised to go in the off-season (May, June, September), choose municipal or farm pitches, book early, and compare prices via apps.

German manufacturer Frankia from Oberhaid is radically restructuring its range: classic F-Line, Titan and Platin series are being discontinued, replaced by new models on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. The new Noctra Liner (from €157,900) and Neo Liner (from €124,900) are built on Sprinter, while the Together Edition anniversary model (from €119,900 for alcove, from €143,900 for integrated) and Final Edition F-Line/Titan (from €139,990) remain on Fiat Ducato. From 2027, all Frankia motorhomes will be front-wheel drive only, with rear-wheel drive dropped from the program.

The article describes a first family holiday in an Ahorn Camp A690 motorhome with a two-year-old child. During the trip to the Netherlands, the child complained about noise from the Renault Master, which the author says is not quiet. The author finds the noise level acceptable, noting that other motorhomes may rattle more, but a large alcove is not a silent dream. The main question is whether the Ahorn A690 is the right vehicle for a family with a child and whether they will survive the camping trip.

Two accidents on the A23 motorway between Heide and Albersdorf on Wednesday morning led to temporary closures in both directions. At around 10:15, a Tesla driver lost control in heavy rain while heading north; the car skidded and hit a motorhome travelling in the right lane. The motorhome driver also lost control, left the road and struck the crash barrier. The Tesla driver and one person from the motorhome were injured and taken to hospital. A separate accident occurred on the opposite carriageway when a Mercedes hit the barrier; no one was hurt. The northbound lane reopened at around 12:15 after recovery work.

Campingpark Kühlungsborn on the Baltic Sea ranked 13th in the list of the 100 most-viewed campsites in Europe, according to the portal camping.info. The ranking is based on page views from January to September 2026, covering more than 23,000 campsites in 44 countries. Five East German sites made the list: four in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and one in Brandenburg — Komfortcamping Senftenberger See at No. 97. Germany accounts for 47 of the 100 entries, with Insel-Camp Fehmarn the highest-placed German site at No. 7. According to the portal, a standard night at a German campsite in high season costs around 30 euros, compared with over 40 euros in Austria, Italy, Switzerland and Croatia.
