Baltic Coast by Campervan: Rügen, Usedom and Rostock
Quick summary: Germany’s Baltic coast, around 2.5 to 3 hours north of Berlin, is a favorite summer destination for campervan travelers. Rügen has white chalk cliffs and beech forests, Usedom has elegant seaside resorts, and the Hanseatic towns of Stralsund and Rostock have historic brick architecture. Warnemünde, Rostock’s seaside district, is also a cruise port. Beach campsites suit a campervan or motorhome but fill quickly in summer.
