ADAC Hessen-Thüringen e.V. has issued guidance for families planning camping trips during the autumn school holidays. When choosing a motorhome, the number of approved seats is key, especially for families with more than two children, as many models offer only two rear seats. For accommodation, family-friendly campsites with playgrounds, fenced pools and laundry facilities are recommended. When packing, the maximum permissible weight stated in the vehicle registration document must be observed. Children under twelve or shorter than 150 cm require a suitable child seat mounted on a forward-facing seat. ADAC suggests using the PiNCAMP portal to filter suitable campsites.
