According to an ACSI analysis, Croatia is Europe's most expensive camping destination, with a night for a family of four costing 78.28 euros, almost double the price in Germany (40.82 euros). Prices have risen due to investments in luxury amenities such as private pools and spas. Cheaper alternatives include Poland (24.19 euros) and the Czech Republic (28.52 euros).

Camping in Europe 2026: Croatia most expensive, Turkey cheapest

According to an analysis by the PiNCAMP portal, the average cost per night for a family of two adults and one child at a campsite in Austria will be €56 during the 2026 summer season. This places the country in the upper-middle range of European destinations. The most expensive were Croatia (€73) and Italy (€63). In inland regions, prices are significantly lower: Sweden at €7 per night, Italy at €12. Outside the peak season, prices drop by an average of 29% across Europe, and by 20% in Austria.

Campers face high pitch fees in summer 2026

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.

Carado CV540 costs €48,390 in France and €66,590 in the Netherlands

The French price list for Carado motorhomes shows a significant price gap compared to the Netherlands. The compact CV540, a 5.41-meter camper van based on the Peugeot Boxer, starts at €48,390, while the longer CV600 (5.99 m) starts at €49,390. In the Netherlands, the same models start at €66,590 and €67,890 respectively, a difference of €18,200 and €18,500. The main reason is the Dutch bpm tax (37.7% of the net catalog price plus €273 for diesel), along with differences in VAT, equipment, and transport costs. Buying in France does not exempt buyers from bpm and VAT when registering in the Netherlands.
