From May to September camping holidaymakers can expect an average of about seven hours of sunshine per day. The continental climate at the Upper Bavarian lakes often provides good bathing weather - in Starnberg, at Chiemsee, Staffelsee, or the Kochelsee with a view of snow-white Alpine peaks. Many of the camping sites in Upper Bavaria , but also in the Allgäu, Lower Bavaria and Franconia, are located on the lakeshore. Well-kept bathing areas, some with water slides and boat hire, make camping holidays in Bavaria attractive for families. In addition comes the versatile trip offer for families: whether game parks like the Bayerwald animal park Lohberg or zoos like in Nuremberg or Munich, whether leisure parks like the Legoland Günzburg and summer toboggan runs like the Altmühl Bob or the Alpine Coaster in Oberammergau - there does not seem to be a word for boredom in Bavarian. Experience alpine pastures and cheese dairies in the Allgäu, the world's largest technology museum in Munich or the Playmobil FunPark in Zirndorf near Nuremberg are just a few of the countless highlights of a family holiday in Bavaria.
Almost every campsite in Bavaria has hiking tips and maps ready for you. Many also offer guided experience hikes for the whole family, mountain bike trips or via ferrata excursions. Not only the Bavarian Alps impress, but also the Bavarian Forest, the Danube, Isar, Amper and other floodplains as well as Franconian Switzerland inspire with a dense, well signposted network of hiking and cycling trails. Wellness, golf, and relaxation are written in capital letters in the camping parks in the Bavarian spa triangle around Bad Birnbach. Camping sites around Germany's highest mountains invite you to experience alpine experiences: against the backdrop of the Zugspitze near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, towering almost three thousand metres high, or in the Berchtesgaden National Park, around the Watzmann.
A beer garden and a cozy pub are available at almost every campsite in Bavaria. Local delicacies are usually served - from snacks with rich, spicy "Obatzda"cream cheese, Steckerlfisch, or brown trout to Weisswurst and knuckle of pork with sauerkraut. And something sweet afterwards? How about a steaming yeast dumpling or a seductive Bavarian cream? And while the children enthusiastically storm the playgrounds of the camping parks afterwards, you can enjoy a freshly tapped light beer, shandy, or wheat beer. With over five hundred local brewing specialities, you're sure to find a beer to your taste. In Upper Franconia alone, also known as Bierfranken, there are over 150 traditional breweries. Some Franconian campsites offer a kind of Triathlon : the disciplines include hikes along romantic castles, refreshment with delicious roast specialities and beer (no theory, only practical "lessons"!). A big cheers on the Campingland Bavaria!
