The TV trio 'Bodensee-Boys' from Hegau, including the girlfriend of one member, will soon appear again on RTL2 in the docu-soap 'Bella Italia – Camping auf Deutsch'.

Together, they have around 65,000 followers on Instagram.

The campsite in Rantum, the largest on the island of Sylt, offers 400 motorhome pitches, 70 tent pitches, and 20 year-round overnight parking spots. Prices for a fully equipped mobile home for four people during peak season are around €190 per night, while a couple with their own motorhome pays just under €50. In the low season, prices start at around €25. The site features a minimarket, restaurant, playground, and automated check-in.
