Rules for travel within Germany
Although the lockdown has been extended until April 18, 2021, this does not mean that there is a general ban on travel. Holidaymakers traveling within Germany do not have to go into quarantine when returning to their home town. Only when traveling to a risk area outside of Germany is there a testing requirement and a 10-day quarantine requirement, which can be shortened by a negative Corona test from day 5 at the earliest. When returning from virus variant areas, a 14-day quarantine obligation applies, which cannot be shortened by a negative test result. Basically, you can travel almost everywhere in Germany, but campsites are not allowed to accept holidaymakers during this time. In the next point, you will find more information about this.
Which campsites are open?
The subject of camping vacations in times of Corona is very dynamic in the individual states of Germany. However, it is certain that since November 2, 2020, until at least April 18, 2021 (as of March 23, 2021), camping for vacationers is not allowed on campsites or pitches. Only for business travelers some campsites are open. The same also applies to free or private pitches and also over the Easter vacations.
To "restore your driving ability" you are allowed to stop for one night (max. 10 hours) in Germany.

Self-sufficient campers

The following of our models offer you this comfort:
- Campervan 540 Basic and Family
- Campervan 600 Basic and Superior
- Campervan 640 Basic
- Campervan 640 Basic XL
- Campervan 640 Superior

- Wohnmobil Knaus Live I (exkl. Solarpanel)
Also our vans like the VW Bulli California Ocean and the Pössl Campster as well as our MINI (bookable) are equipped with a kitchen. Besides, you can rent a mobile toilet, an additional cool box, and an outdoor shower from us to make your camping trip even more self-sufficient with these models as well.
