Summer, sunshine, Germany: Why your next holiday doesn’t have to be far away

Why a holiday in your own country simply makes sense:
Short journey, more holiday time – no half-day at the airport, but right in the thick of it after just a few hours’ drive.
No travel stress – no need to exchange money, no worries about roaming charges, no language problems.
Affordable and easy to plan – transparent prices, no nasty surprises.
A wealth of nature on your doorstep – from Baltic Sea beaches to low mountain ranges and floodplain forests, it’s all there.
More sustainable travel – shorter journeys mean a smaller carbon footprint.
Comfort without having to pitch a tent – in a mobile home or holiday cottage, you’ll feel right at home, only with a better view.
Six camping parks, six completely different holiday worlds:

🌊 KNAUS Camping and Holiday Cottage Park Rügen – sea view guaranteed
Situated right on the cliffs in the north of the island, this park offers a prime spot on the Baltic Sea. From your mobile home, the view stretches across the twelve-kilometre-long natural beach ‘Die Schaabe’, which you can reach directly via a flight of steps. Sunrises over the water, cycle rides to Cape Arkona with its historic lighthouses, a detour to the listed fishing village of Vitt or a ferry trip to the car-free island of Hiddensee – there’s something here for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet alike. What’s more, the region is one of the sunniest in Germany.

🌲 KNAUS Campingpark Lackenhäuser – Wellness in the heart of the Bavarian Forest
Spacious, park-like and surrounded by dense forest: Lackenhäuser is the place for anyone wishing to combine nature with a wellness programme. An indoor swimming pool, sauna, solarium and massage facilities ensure relaxation, whilst hiking and cycling trails through the Bavarian Forest start right on your doorstep. The Plöckenstein and the Bohemian Forest National Park are just a stone’s throw away – ideal for anyone wishing to switch between mountain air and spa treatments.

🏙️ KNAUS Campingpark Leipzig – City flair meets a green oasis
Situated in the heart of Leipzig’s Auenwald yet still just a few minutes from the city centre: here, you can combine camping in the great outdoors with a proper city break. Walks and boat trips on Lake Auensee, a tram right on your doorstep and the sights of this trade fair city within easy reach – perfect for anyone who wants culture by day and a campfire atmosphere by night.

⛰️ KNAUS Campingpark Walkenried – Peace and quiet in the Southern Harz
On the outskirts of the picturesque little town of Walkenried, nestled in the natural surroundings of the Southern Harz, life here is decidedly more tranquil. The town centre, with its shops and rail link, is within walking distance, whilst the surrounding area is ideal for long hikes. An insider’s tip for anyone looking to truly switch off from everyday life.

🎡 KNAUS Campingpark Nuremberg – Camping with an amusement park vibe
Nestled in a mixed woodland in the heart of Volkspark Dutzendteich, this campsite is in excellent company: right next door are the football stadium with its outdoor pool, the ice rink and the exhibition grounds. Anyone wishing to experience Nuremberg’s Old Town, the Imperial Castle or the famous charm of the Christkindlesmarkt (which can also be felt in summer) will find themselves right in the thick of it in no time from here.

🚴 KNAUS Campingpark Essen – Camping on the Ruhr
Situated right on the Ruhr Valley Cycle Route, this 4-star park is a dream for cyclists and anyone wishing to rediscover the Ruhr region. Thanks to good S-Bahn connections, Essen, Düsseldorf and Cologne are accessible without having to change trains – a camping idyll and the metropolitan region all in one.

Conclusion: Six parks, one summer, countless possibilities
Whether it’s a day at the beach on the Baltic Sea, a spa break in the Bavarian Forest, a city break with a touch of nature in Leipzig, tranquillity in the Southern Harz, proximity to an amusement park in Nuremberg or cycling tours along the Ruhr – the KNAUS camping parks show just how varied a holiday in your own country can be. Simply book a mobile home or holiday cottage with us, arrive and enjoy the summer.
