Luxury Camping in Germany: Top 5-Star ADAC-Awarded Sites
Germany is home to some of the most luxurious camping sites in Europe, offering a unique blend of nature and comfort. The German Automobile Club (ADAC) has recognised several campsites for their high-end amenities, diverse activities, and excellent locations. Here are some of the best luxury campsites in Germany, as recognised by ADAC:
Wirthshof, Markdorf, Baden-Württemberg

To accommodate the growing demand for glamping, the Wirthshof has created 17 chalets for camping guests with higher standards. To make room for these chalets, 36 caravan pitches were removed. The Wirthshof offers a variety of leisure activities, including an outdoor pool, a mini-golf course, an indoor nature play barn for families with children, and a wellness and sauna area. It is located near Lake Constance.
Family-Resort Kleinenzhof, Bad Wildbad, Baden-Württemberg
