The municipality of Krummhörn raised electricity prices at the motorhome site in Greetsiel eightfold at the start of the season, sparking criticism from travelers.
According to the German Federal Statistical Office, camping costs hit a record high in 2025. Motorhome pitches rose by an average of 32% compared to 2020, campsites by 29%, while consumer prices increased by 22%.
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.
Due to low water levels in the Rhine (50 cm at the Cologne gauge), the Rheinblick campground in Baumberg now has a dry riverbed about 15 meters wide. Despite this, the site is fully booked, and tourists are coming specifically to watch the river recede. Operators report that boats can no longer be launched, and lawn watering is prohibited. Seasonal camping costs 950 euros, while tourists with motorhomes pay 34 euros per day.
