Many travelers go on camping holidays hoping for good value for money.

Depending on the destination country, however, the costs vary greatly. 

Hamburg - The middle of the year is coming and the weather is still swinging the cold club - many people are already almost ready for the summer vacation.

Current price increases, however, make vacation planning more difficult.

Attention all camping lovers: It can also be particularly expensive in a caravan or on the campsite this year.

We have researched in which European countries the prices are particularly high and where you can get cheaper.

Rising electricity prices: That's how much inflation is affecting Europe's campsites

When considering the rising electricity prices in ancillary cost bills, it should hardly be surprising that an increase can also be expected on campsites.

“Electricity costs can unexpectedly increase the price of a camper vacation.

We encourage travelers to check campsite websites carefully as the information available from third party providers is not always up to date,” says Raphael Meese of

CamperDays.

The booking portal for mobile homes has compared the average electricity prices per night from over 4000 campsites in Europe.

  • Denmark: 6.06 euros

  • Spain: 5.95 euros

  • Sweden: 4.52 euros

  • Italy: 4.10 euros

  • Germany: 3.67 euros

  • Netherlands: 3.49 euros

  • There are also nice campsites in Germany - and the European comparison of electricity costs also shows that the financial factor could also support the decision for the home country.

    Electricity costs less than four euros per night on average in this country.

    According to the evaluations, you can only get away cheaper in the Netherlands.

    Italy and Sweden are also below the global average of €4.63 per night.

    You have to dig deep into your pocket for the electricity bill on campsites in Denmark.

    More expensive or cheaper?

    Advantages and disadvantages of a flat-rate electricity fee for camping holidays

    A price comparison with camping apps can be worthwhile.

    Because: Among other things, increased electricity prices quickly drive up holiday costs.

    If you're on the road for several weeks, you'll quickly end up with a two-digit additional bill.

    With a view to the average prices mentioned above, it should also be noted that some campsites do not charge a flat rate, but charge according to consumption.

    In this case, your bill could be well above average if you prefer glamping in a caravan to a small tent.

    A flat rate can protect you from nasty surprises.

    The Europe-wide comparison by

    CamperDays

    shows that flat rates are used particularly frequently on campsites in the Netherlands (87.3 percent) and Italy (71.5 percent).

    Only very rarely in Denmark (20.7 percent) is a lump sum billed.

    These factors must also be considered - price comparison taking into account the total costs

    Electricity costs are a particularly important cost factor this year.

    But other areas also play a part in the overall calculation: fresh water and waste water, internet, waste disposal, shower fees, tourist taxes, environmental taxes, washing machine and dryer use.

    All in all, camping holidays in Croatia and Italy are the most expensive at an average of almost 70 euros per night, and it is cheapest at around 40 euros in Sweden and Germany, according to the ADAC camping portal PiNCAMP for the camping year 2023. The portal
