Germany sees rise of unconventional luxury camping sites

A number of upscale glamping resorts have opened in Bavaria, offering five‑star amenities such as wellness spas, sky pools, panoramic views and gourmet restaurants. Locations like Großbüchlberg in the Oberpfälzer Wald, the Bodenmais resort in the Bavarian Forest and others combine natural settings with high‑end hospitality.

At the same time, the historic parish house in Blüthen, Prignitz, has been repurposed as a “camper church” where visitors can stay overnight on the churchyard grounds. Booked through the platform church4night, the site provides basic facilities beside a cemetery and an old hearse, attracting campers looking for a unique, quiet experience.

Both developments illustrate a growing German trend toward niche, experience‑focused camping that blends nature, heritage and luxury.
