Camps by the water - enjoy your vacation by the sea, lake or river
A campsite right by the water is always something special. You wake up in the morning to the lapping of the water or the sound of the sea and fall asleep in the evening to the sound of crickets. Open the camper door, fresh air, relaxation and that vacation feeling. That's camping by the water with hinterland.camp.

Camps directly on the lake
A pitch by a lake offers plenty of nature as well as additional opportunities for activities. Depending on how big the body of water is, you can swim, dive, paddle or maybe even surf. Or you can simply lean back in your camping chair, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet without neighbors, far away from the crowds, in the middle of nature.

Campsites by the sea
Of course, we don't have to tell you that campsites by the sea can top all of the above. A camp in the hinterland, not far from the beach, sun and waves is a dream for many of our guests. The great thing about hinterland.camp is that you can enjoy the full variety of our camps by the water. And close to nature, in a secluded location with friendly hosts. Have you ever been on a camping trip to the Baltic Sea or North Sea and realized that all the campsites are completely overcrowded, that you have to book months in advance to get a place on a campsite at all and that you end up standing close together in small areas...? So have we, which is why we have tamed wild camping for you and acquired campsites from private individuals that are in secluded locations, in the middle of nature and far away from mass tourism. If you're looking for a new camping experience on the Baltic Sea or North Sea, you can get inspiration from our guide to the most beautiful campsites on the Baltic Sea or North Sea.
