Of a total of approximately 17.000 sites evaluated in 42 European countries, the top three sites in Bavaria (Panorama & Wellness-Campingplatz Großbüchlberg), Schleswig-Holstein (Wohnmobilstellplatz Utersum on Föhr), and the Netherlands (Camping Janse in Zoutelande) secured the top positions.

Feedback from guests and operators reveals clear trends in the motorhome industry: Travelers are staying at their campsites longer, the age structure of campers is getting younger, and demands for comfort and digital offerings are noticeably increasing. Many campsite operators are responding to these developments with modern solutions. These include online booking systems, power columns, modern sanitary facilities, free Wi-Fi, app-based services, and self-check-in systems. According to operators, successful campsites also focus on personal service, high levels of cleanliness and friendliness, as well as flexible additional services and personalized communication with their guests.
