Wellness Offers on the Campsite

Whoever goes camping certainly doesn't have to do without wellness: By now, the offers for wellness on campsites range from large swimming pools to diverse sauna landscapes to massages and soothing cosmetic treatments. Various wellness facilities with for example a Finnish sauna or herbal and Swiss stone pine saunas can be used either free of cost or, depending on the camping site, for an additional charge.

In the beautiful spa area with a relaxation room and tea bar you will experience the maximum slowdown and the best variety in the most beautiful places on your camping vacation. In addition to the many opportunities for rest and relaxation, campers have heated indoor and outdoor pools and sometimes a gym for active exercise and the perfect balance at the camping site.

Whether and which campsite offers a wellness activity with for example sauna or thermal bath you can find out by using the filter possibilities on camping.info in the campsite search. The rating for the activity "Wellness" from other campers, who have already tried the recreational offers on site, will give you the best guidance in choosing a campsite.

Wellness Camping in Germany

Both in the Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg, in the Alpine regions of Bavaria and on the coasts of the North and Baltic Sea, wellness lovers will find particularly suitable sites. Many campsites are also located directly at the lake or at the sea, which pushes the recreational and wellness factor even higher due to the ideal location.

In Austria especially Tyrol with the Zillertal, the Salzburg province and Carinthia are among the most popular regions with the most beautiful wellness campsites. In the fantastic mountains of Austria, wellness is also particularly popular during winter camping. After a long day of skiing, sledding or snowshoe hiking in the Allgäu, there is hardly anything better than warming up again in the sauna landscape in the middle of the Alps.

A unique wellness and sports offer is something that campers can find both in the summer and in the winter in the 4 star resort Sports camp Woferlgut in Salzburg. The wellness area at Woferlgut is a true oasis of tranquility and provides perfect relaxation with saunas, turkish steam baths, whirlpools and a huge swimming pool. Campers are blown away by the Woferlgut: "...we have really seen a lot of things by now, but the Woferlgut's bathing world is on another level!"

If you are looking for wellness in the best nature in Italy, you should plan your next camping trip in South Tyrol. In addition the child-friendly region Veneto is ideal for families and wellness camping. Here wellness campers have the choice between great campsites in the mountains or directly at the sea. Endless fine, sandy beaches, a pleasant mediterranean climate and good Italian wine make a wellness vacation in Italy a very special one.

In the heart of the Dolomites you can use a large wellness area and experience pure relaxation at the Caravan Park Sesto, which is open all year round. The spa area of the campsite in South Tyrol offers an indoor pool as well as hay and herbal baths, a solarium and a cosmetics department. That the Caravan Park Sexten does not promise too much is also confirmed by the many camper reviews on camping.info: "Wonderful wellness offer, nice saunas and relaxation rooms, beautifully made with lots of wood and stone!"

In Switzerland, the Bernese Upperland and Engelberg are among the most popular camping destinations for wellness lovers. You can leave everyday life behind in great wellness resorts with baths, saunas and massage services.

5 Tips for Wellness Camping

1. Take the Time you need for your Relaxation: wellness, hiking and sightseeing in one day? We recommend that you don't schedule too many activities in a day and instead enjoy the best hours of wellness camping without stress, hustle and bustle and without looking at the clock.

2. Expand your Packing List: Although many sites provide towels for wellness, you'll be on the safe side if you pack one or two extra (large) towels in addition to the beach towel and shower towel. Also think about bathing shoes for the sauna and maybe take some extra swimwear.

3. Possible extra fees due to planning and booking dates: Partly, there are extra prices for the use of sauna, whirlpool and indoor pool, which you should plan into the vacation budget. Some offers can only be used during certain opening hours. During Corona times there are often upper limits for people. By making an appointment for a sauna session or active timeout in the pool, you can secure a spot for the best hours.

4. Note textile-free zones: Designated areas in the Wellness Oasis are to be entered only without clothing. This rule must be adhered to.

5. Camping holiday as a cure stay: Since individual campsites cooperate with surrounding doctors and health resorts, you can enjoy your camping vacation possibly also as a curing vacation. Find out here about the offers and talk to your health insurance.
