Bavaria and the apline upland are popular travel destinations. And what's the best way to explore nature? Exactly, by camper. And when you've spent the whole day wandering through the beautiful countryside, you long for an idyllic campsite in the evening.
Caravan sites, campgrounds or private sites?
Pitches do not necessarily have to be campsites or advertised caravan sites. It's much nicer if your pitch is hidden in the open air in a clearing or you can set up camp in a field near a farm.
That's possible? Yes! Nowadays, many landowners offer private pitches on their property or land. This is a great way to get to know the area's surroundings and the local culture better. Private pitches are often an affordable alternative to camping. They are also more idyllically located than officially advertised caravan sites. So you're on your pitch by yourself and far away from any tourism. That's camping the way we love it!

A private pitch has many advantages over a traditional campsite, especially for those who like to be particularly close to nature:
Spacious pitches and plenty of space for you and your camper
Support of your hosts such as farmers, winemakers, associations
Many additional offers on site (wine, food, animals, leisure activities, etc.)
Close to nature: far from mass tourism on campsites
The best alternative to wild camping
