Campervan Campsites and Stellplätze around Berlin

Quick summary: For a campervan, the area around Berlin offers lakeside and forest campsites on the city’s edge, plus hundreds more across Brandenburg, Mecklenburg and the Baltic coast. Stellplätze, designated motorhome parking areas in towns and villages, are a simpler, flexible option. Overnighting outside designated sites is generally off-limits, so line up a pitch or Stellplatz for each stop, reserving early on the summer Baltic coast for your campervan or motorhome.

An official parking spot set aside for motorhomes, typically close to a village center, harbor or spa, offering fresh water, a dump point and occasionally hookups. Small fees are common, and most work on a first-come basis.

Can an RV park anywhere overnight in Germany?
