In Brief

The city of Nordhorn is looking for an operator for a new campsite near the zoo, while in Meppen-Bakemüde the 'Camping am Hasetal' campsite with an artificial lake is set to open by spring 2026.

Two campsite projects are underway in Lower Saxony. The city of Nordhorn has announced a search for an operator for a new campsite. The site is located above the roundabout near the zoo (north of the circle on Immenweg). Previously, a site on Wehrweg was planned, but it was abandoned due to updated flood calculations by the NLWKN (Lower Saxony Water Management, Coastal Protection and Nature Conservation Agency).

In Meppen-Bakemüde, the 'Camping am Hasetal' campsite covering 7.5 hectares is set to open by spring 2026. An artificial lake will be created on the grounds, and each pitch for motorhomes, caravans, or tents will have a private sanitary facility. Before construction began, archaeologists discovered traces of settlements on the site dating from the Neolithic to the early Middle Ages.
