Camping holidaymakers will also have to adjust to price increases for overnight stays this year.
But there are still comparatively cheap travel destinations.
Get out into nature and get some fresh air: Camping holidays are still very popular this year - although here, too, travelers have to shell out a little more money.
According to a recent analysis by Pincamp.de
, the ADAC camping portal,
prices have risen by seven percent across Europe .
Nevertheless, according to a report, it is still the cheapest form of vacation.
Germany is one of the cheapest camping destinations in 2023
On average, a family with a ten-year-old child pays an average of 55.70 euros for an overnight stay on a campsite in Europe during the high summer season, according to
Pincamp
.
The calculations include a pitch, electricity and hot showers.
But there is a cheaper way: If you want to spend your camping holiday in Germany, you not only save on fuel, but also on accommodation costs.
With an average price of 42.60 euros per night, Germany is the second cheapest holiday destination for campers this summer.
Travelers can only save even more in Sweden, where the same thing can be had for 39 euros.

Camping holidays in Croatia most expensive
The leader in terms of accommodation costs is Croatia: campers will have to pay around 15 percent more in 2023 compared to the previous year, as
Pincamp
reports – that amounts to 69.30 euros.
The increased costs could be related to the introduction of the euro in Croatia and the increased quality of the camping offer.
The second most expensive is Italy with an average overnight price of 65.80 euros.
Switzerland has also raised its prices by 2.5 percent, but is "only" the third most expensive country for camping.
Great Britain alone has reduced its overnight prices by almost ten percent to an average of 47.10 euros.

Booking early pays off on a camping holiday
If you want to book overnight stays at a campsite as cheaply as possible in the coming summer season, you should be quick.
Because the camping industry no longer sets its prices for just one season, but adjusts them to the occupancy rate and demand on a daily basis.
"I advise all campers to book as early as possible and thus secure low prices in good time," says Frers.
