Camping FAQs

What does a campsite cost?

Prices vary depending on location, amenities and season. On VanSite you'll find campsites, but also pitches for motorhomes and other vehicles, from just 13 € per night.

Is there electricity at a campsite?

Many campsites on VanSite offer power hook-ups, while others deliberately stick to simple nature camping. The pitch description shows you right away whether a power hook-up is available, so you can choose the one that suits your needs.

How do I find a campsite near me?

With the radius search, handy filters and the free VanSite app you'll find campsites right near you, whether spontaneous or planned. Just pick your location, enter your preferred criteria and book directly, no fuss and on the go. Any questions are easy to sort out via the chat function or by phone after booking.

What makes a good campsite

What makes a good campsite depends a lot on your personal idea of it. Many people today are looking above all for peace and nature instead of the bustle of a campground. Especially helpful:

• Quiet location away from motorhomes

• Level, dry ground for pitching the tent

• Shade from trees or being near woodland

• Wind-sheltered grounds

• Sanitary facilities available

• Access to electricity, water or fire pits

• Enough room for groups or the family and children
