Camping in Germany: From GDR to Vanlife
Original source: Berliner Kurier

Camping in Germany has changed significantly, from simple tents in the GDR to modern motorhomes and vanlife. Today, many campsites are booked well in advance, prices have risen, and the vacation itself has become more comfortable and expensive. In the GDR, camping required a special permit, and a night in a tent on the Baltic Sea coast cost about 1 mark. Now, a family camping trip can cost several hundred euros per week, and many people prefer to convert vans themselves for life on the road.
