Camping by the sea in Germany: up to 245 euros cheaper than other European coasts
Original source: presseportal.de

In Brief

According to a PiNCAMP (ADAC) analysis, a family of two adults and one child pays an average of 42 euros per night in Germany, compared to 77 euros in Croatia, 73 euros in Italy, and 72 euros in Spain. The price gap is widening.

According to a PiNCAMP (ADAC) analysis, the cost of seaside camping in Germany in 2026 is significantly lower than in other European countries. A family of two adults and one child pays an average of 42 euros per night, compared to 77 euros in Croatia, 73 euros in Italy, and 72 euros in Spain. The weekly difference can reach 245 euros.

Prices for seaside camping abroad are rising faster than in Germany: in France they increased by 13% year-on-year, while in Germany only by 2%. Within Germany, the most expensive spots are in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (49 euros per night), and the cheapest in Schleswig-Holstein (40 euros). The reason for the relative affordability is the even distribution of demand across the country, rather than concentration only on the coast.
