Baltic Camping Prices Rise, but Tourists Keep Coming
Original source: moin.de

In Brief

Average night at campsites on the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula rose to €48–49, with price increases of 7–9%. German campsites remain cheaper than in Croatia and Italy.

Camping Prices in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

According to an analysis by Pincamp and ADAC, the average night at a campsite on the coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2026 is €48–49 (including resort tax, about €53). One source reports a 9% price increase, another 7%. The most expensive campsite is Naturdüne Camping Resort Zingst at €61.50 per night.

Reasons and Comparison

Price increases are attributed to a 40% rise in the minimum wage since 2022 and higher energy costs. Despite this, every eleventh tourist overnight stay in Germany is at a campsite. The national average (€41) is lower than in Croatia (€73–77), Italy (€63–73), and Spain (€72). Families are advised to consider extra costs (electricity, shower, dog, resort tax).
