camping.info Award 2025 – The Best Campsites in Europe
The camping.info Award 2025:
The 110 best campsites in Europe
Every year, the camping.info Award honours the 110 best campsites in Europe and is one of the most coveted awards in the camping industry. The award presented by camping.info is purely a public award - without a jury or discretionary decisions.
Around 110,000 reviews from over 55,000 campers form the basis for the camping.info Award 2025, which is being presented for the 14th time this year. Thanks to the tried-and-tested formula, which primarily takes into account guest satisfaction as well as the number and topicality of the reviews, not only large campsites but also smaller ones make it into the ranking.

Award Winners 2025
68 campsites from Germany, 22 from Austria, seven from Italy and three from Switzerland can call themselves camping.info Award Winners 2025. The undisputed leader remains the same in 2025: The Campingpark Kühlungsborn was named Europe's best campsite for the fifth time in a row - with more than 5,800 very good camper ratings, the title of ‘Number 1’ out of 23,000 in Europe remains more than deserved.
Particularly exciting: 15 campsites are new to the 2025 ranking, bringing a breath of fresh air and new inspiration to the favourites list.
The winner's podium: The TOP 3 in the award
The extremely popular Campingpark Kühlungsborn once again shines in place 1 of the camping.info Awards 2025. For the fifth time in a row, the modern 5-star campsite in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has climbed the winner's podium. Campers particularly praise the superb location directly on the long Baltic Sea beach, the wide range of leisure activities, the excellent sanitary facilities and the relaxing sports and wellness facilities.
The exceptional Camping Luxury Schlosshof in South Tyrol was awarded the second place. With an infinity pool on the roof terrace, a wellness oasis including a massage from head to toe and gastronomy so excellent that even spoilt hotel holidaymakers will be amazed - anyone who wants to experience the extraordinary and a lot of ‘Amore’ should experience the very special ‘Schlosshof feeling’ at the best campsite in Italy at least once.
The third place is once again secured by the family and dog-friendly Camping Sonnenland Lutzmannsburg in Austria. Already in the top 3 last year, the award-winning campsite in Burgenland remains number 1 in Austria in 2025 and impresses with its top location by the bathing lake and a huge range of leisure activities for young and old.

About the camping.info Award Concept
The camping.info Award is one of the most ambitioned awards in the camping industry and is being presented for the 13th time in 2024. With 135 million page views, our camping platform is by far the most visited camping website in German-speaking countries. camping.info lists over 23.,000 campsites from 44 European countries and is also very popular in other countries thanks to its 27 language versions. The great success of the award is primarily based on its transparency: There is no “black box”, all the underlying evaluations and the formula for creating the ranking and all of its factors are publicly available. As in previous years, not only the average ratings of the camping guests form the basis, but there is a weighting according to the topicality of the ratings and their number.
Ratings are weighted based on how current they are, how many there are as well as how trustworthy the reviewer is: The more reviews a camper submits on camping.info, the frequency with which other users find their reviews useful, the more complete their personal profile, the number of pictures uploaded, etc., the higher the reviewer’s trustworthiness rating on camping.info will be. This level of trustworthiness is displayed beside each rating and is indicated with smiley faces (1–5).
Frequently asked Questions about the camping.info Award
What is the concept of the ranking?
As we mentioned earlier, the guest reviews are all that counts! There’s no “black box”, no jury and no discretionary decision-making! Campsites are ranked based on calculations made using the following criteria:
- Average overall impression
- Average overall impression weighted by the trustworthiness of the reviewer
- Average overall impression weighted by how current the ratings are
- Fourth root of the number of ratings
- We use the fourth root of the number of ratings, so the respective influencing value shrinks in comparison to the others. There’s a relatively big difference between a campsite having 50 or 100 ratings, for example, but when it comes to a site having 400 or 500 reviews, the difference becomes less significant. The fourth root moderates the influence of substantially higher numbers, thus placing campsites on a more even playing field. A campsite needs a minimum of 25 guest ratings in order to make it into the ranking.
From the whole camping.info team, congratulations to all the winners and thank you to all the campers that regularly rate and review campsites on camping.info!
