Last FKK campsite on the North Sea to close in 2027
Original source: watson.de

In Brief

The last nudist campsite on the North Sea coast in Hooksiel, Lower Saxony, is closing. The new operator will require clothing from 2027 due to low occupancy and the previous owner's bankruptcy.

The last nudist campsite on the North Sea coast in Hooksiel, Lower Saxony, is closing. The new operator, Überland Services GmbH, announced that clothing will be mandatory throughout the campsite from January 1, 2027.

Reasons for closure

The decision was made due to low economic efficiency: out of 412 pitches, only 125 are occupied by seasonal tourists, and tourist bookings are scarce. The site was previously owned by Wangerland Touristik GmbH, which went bankrupt due to cost overruns on a spa center (from €8.7 million to €23 million). The freed-up area will be used for modernized seasonal camping pitches.

Naturists' response

Members of the Naturistenbund Wilhelmshaven Friesland have collected around 1,400 signatures on a petition against the closure (other sources say over 1,300). A proposal to reduce the FKK area by 75% was rejected.

Pössl showed recipe for cheap motorhome in the 1990s: bathroom, kitchen and fixed bed at the price of an empty van

In 1996, the Pössl Duo Van cost 45,885 marks — exactly the same as an empty panel van at a German dealership. The company bought Peugeot chassis in Slovenia at wholesale prices and outsourced series production of the living module to Adria, a Slovenian caravan manufacturer with lower costs. Today, this model is used by many brands: Carado, Adria, Weinsberg and Pössl offer six-metre campervans with a bathroom and fixed bed from €47,499 to €63,379. A production campervan is significantly cheaper than a custom conversion, but the base price often excludes essential options.
