Bavarian campsites and motorhome stops ranked among Europe's best
Original source: augsburger-allgemeine

In Brief

Several rankings confirm Bavaria's leadership in camping tourism: six campsites made Europe's top list, and the Panoramastellplatz in Dettelbach took first place among motorhome stops. Merkur also highlighted seven top campsites in the region.

Bavaria confirms its status as a top destination for camping and motorhomes in Europe. According to the stellplatz.info ranking, based on 7.8–8 million guest reviews, six campsites in the region are among the best in Europe. However, data on the leader differs: some sources name the Panoramastellplatz in Dettelbach-Neuses am Berg (Lower Franconia) at the Mangold winery as number one, while others cite the panoramic campsite Großbüchlberg in the Upper Palatinate.

Seven more Bavarian stops made the top 50. The ranking considered sites with at least 100 reviews on external platforms and 5 reviews on the portal itself, as well as high Google ratings, amenities, and editorial verification.

Merkur's selection

Merkur compiled its own list of seven top campsites in Bavaria, evaluating them on peace, cleanliness, infrastructure, location, and value for money. The selection includes large parks with water parks and spas as well as small sites by lakes and in the Alpine foothills. Notable mentions include the five-star Hopfensee campsite in Allgäu with its own spa and kids' center, and the Walchensee campsite on the shores of the 'Bavarian Caribbean'.

Revised industry standard 'Small Building' published

The Tiny House Association has published the revised industry standard 'Small Building' (June 2026 edition). The guideline, known as the 'Tiny House Standard', describes the current state of the art for planning, manufacturing and evaluating small buildings. The main innovation is the division into two parts: Part 1 covers requirements for construction, technical building equipment, product ecology and conformity assessment; Part 2 covers living quality, indoor air hygiene and building biology requirements. Manufacturers can check product compliance during the planning phase, reducing later adjustments and costs. New definitions for modular houses and series construction have been added; for series products, conformity assessment can be based on a representative sample. The standard includes differentiated requirements for the energy assessment of transportable small buildings. It is available in print and PDF for EUR 69.
