Summer equals camping. And it doesn’t matter whether this is in a tent, bus, or RV – there’s no easier way to experience that little bit of freedom from time to time. The desire for this unique feeling of being at one with nature and completely independent is back!

Nature camping in Germany and urban alpinism - the best tips.

And finally the time’s right! Summer is on its way, which means balmy nights in the open air. True outdoor fans don’t care less about comfy beds in fancy hotels and would much rather be woken by a fresh morning breeze. The fact that outdoor vacations, that is to say, sleeping under open skies, are increasing in popularity was confirmed at a recent convention on the topic of new ways of thinking about camping and outdoor tourism in 2030, which was initiated by Bayern Tourismus. Nature adventures are among the top revenue generators in the German tourist industry. 58% of guests travel to Bavaria because of its natural attractions. Camping is also becoming more and more popular again. The number of guests that visited Bavarian campgrounds in the last ten years has increased by 59%, while nights spent at campgrounds saw a growth of 34%.

Camping is cool, casual, and stylish. Campers are becoming younger and younger, and the VW camper van and its old-timer mates now have cult status. AND: there are so many more options for camping. You can get vehicles in all sizes, price ranges, and colors. Then, of course, there’s still the classic camper whose first choice is to spend the night in a tent under a starlit sky. A vacation without comfort? Nothing of the sort! Traveling on four wheels is incredibly exciting, and you get to explore new repertoire and sit around the fire until late into the night – all while discovering foreign countries and cultures. Obviously, it takes the right equipment to really make your vacation perfect. And since sleeping in Mother Nature is becoming ever more popular, you can always find something new, unexpected and fun in the line of camping accessories. We’ll show you what you need – and what is really nice to have.
