The first E-Camping Report by the Bonn-based E-Camping-Lotsen project examined 4,808 campsites and their websites in Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland. Only 15.4% of German campsites inspected by the ACSI guide have a charging point, compared with 36.1% in the Netherlands and 24.8% in Austria. Of the 2,033 German campsite websites studied, 84% do not state whether guests can charge electric cars, and one in four of those that address the topic explicitly prohibits charging. Of 435 campsites with charging facilities across the four countries, only six offer a charging point directly at the pitch. The report notes that Germany recorded 44.7 million camping overnight stays in 2025, while 34.5% of newly registered cars in September 2026 were fully electric.
