Germany is a must-visit for your next campervan holiday as there is so much to see and do and it is a camper friendly country. Many Germans enjoy travelling in a campervan, and the country is also very well adapted for campervan holidays. The country definitely has something for everyone. If you enjoy holidays by the sea then you could rent a campervan and go on a campervan holiday along the west coast or on the Baltic coast. If you’re looking for a relaxing walk by the sea, Germany has plenty of fantastic beaches to choose from. However, if you prefer hiking, the Black Forest would be the ideal destination. There are numerous walking tracks and stunning views of the surrounding area. Germany is home to beautiful lakes like Lake Constance, which is a popular place for campervan holidays and perfect for nature lovers.

Germany is a popular destination for either summer or winter. To avoid any disappointment, you should book your campervan in advance. Booking early ensures you can find a campervan that suits your specific needs. To drive in Germany, you need to be at least 18 years old and have a valid UK passport and a full UK driving licence.

In the winter you can go skiing in Bavaria or Baden Württemberg. If you would like to go skiing then we would recommend booking your campervan for January or February.

Driving in Germany
Remember that in Germany drivers drive on the right and it is important to keep this in mind when overtaking or turning. Traffic coming from the right has priority at all crossroads and junctions. Vehicles on a roundabout have right of way, unless road signs indicate they don’t. When you enter a roundabout do not indicate, you should only indicate when you are leaving a roundabout.
Unless road signs state otherwise, the following speed limits apply when driving in Germany: motorways 130 km/h (80mph), main roads 100 km/h (62mph) and urban areas 50 km/h (31mph). Many parts of the Autobahn have no speed limit and this is indicated by a circular white sign with five diagonal black lines. Only drive as fast as you feel is safe and take extra care when overtaking as vehicles can suddenly appear.
Things To Do and See
