The Höllental Camping site at Frankenwaldsee in Lichtenberg has been operating for 50 years. For the past five years, it has been run by Andreas Löffler, a former mechanical engineer and head of pre-development at Rehau AG. He received advice from the operator of the Auensee campsite, developed a concept, and convinced the city council. Since then, the campsite has been popular, with many guests returning.
Campingpark Kerstgenshof in Sonsbeck-Labbeck is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Opened on April 1, 1976, as a seasonal caravan site with 75 pitches, it now holds a 5-star classification and ranks among Europe's top campsites according to Camping.info. Anniversary events are scheduled for the upcoming weekend.
Germany's first campsite opened on May 5, 1931, in Cologne-Rodenkirchen. Founder Jakob Berger set up a tent area next to his boathouse. The campsite is now run by the fourth generation of the family. In 2025, German campsites recorded 44.7 million overnight stays — a record, 25% more than in 2019.
The city of Aalen permits overnight stays in motorhomes at the parking lot near the old sports field in Unterkochen for one night only. Longer stays or using the motorhome as living quarters are considered special use and require a permit. The city has received no complaints and has no plans to introduce additional restrictions. For longer stays, a fee-based motorhome parking area at Limes-Thermen is available, where stays of up to three days are allowed.
In the first seven months of 2026, 63,329 new motorhomes and caravans were registered in Germany, 3% fewer than in the same period last year, according to the Caravaning Industry Association (CIVD). The decline follows a 2.3% drop in 2025. Weak economic conditions are prompting consumers to postpone large purchases, while manufacturers still have unsold vehicles produced in response to pandemic-era demand. Despite the downturn, the industry sees it as a normal correction, and the number of registered recreational vehicles has doubled between 2015 and 2025 to about 1.8 million.

Max Kleesattel, a 27-year-old from Schwäbisch Gmünd who recently ended his career as a professional climber, travels across Europe in a self-converted camper based on a Peugeot Boxer.

Over his trips in various campers, he has covered nearly 100,000 kilometers without a breakdown. He plans to drive to the North Cape in Norway soon, then start training as a professional firefighter in Heilbronn.
