All about the camping.info Award

How is the ranking compiled?

Only the ratings of campers who have actually visited the site are counted for the award. There is no jury, no discretionary decisions or a simple evaluation of clicks. Camper ratings from the last 5 years are taken into account. The rankings of the campsites are calculated based on the following criteria:

  • Average overall impression
  • Average overall impression weighted by recency
  • Fourth root of the number of reviews

The fourth root is taken so that the respective influence value is reduced in comparison to the others. For example, it makes a relatively big difference whether a campsite has 50 or 100 reviews, but it is rather irrelevant whether a business has 400 or 500 reviews. The fourth root therefore ‘smooths out’ the effect towards the top. To be included in the ranking, a campsite must have been reviewed by at least 25 guests.

How can I support venues in receiving the award?

It's easy: just review your favourite site on camping.info! Every review, every guest and every word written helps to boost the site's ranking and bring the award home to the reception desk.

Simply select the campsite on camping.info and rate your visit on the campsite's details page. And last but not least, you'll not only be helping the campsite in the award ranking, but also other campers in choosing a campsite.

About the concept behind the camping.info Award

The camping.info Award is one of the most coveted awards in the camping industry and will be presented for the 15th time in January 2026. Thanks to the proven formula, which takes into account both overall guest satisfaction and the number and recency of reviews, even smaller sites have a real chance of making it into the Ranking.

The great success of the award is based above all on transparency: there is no ‘black box’; all underlying reviews and the formula used to compile the ranking are available for inspection. As in previous years, the ranking is not based solely on the average ratings of camping guests, but is weighted according to the recency and number of reviews.

What do the 15-Year and 10-Year Awards mean?

In 2026, we celebrated our anniversary and presented the camping.info Award for the 15th time.

The 10-Year Award honours campsites that have won the camping.info Award ten times.

The 15-Year Award goes to campsites that have been among the winners every year since the camping.info Award was first presented. Both awards stand for long-standing, consistently high ratings from campers and highlight exceptional long-term quality. The anniversary awards are displayed directly on the camping.info detail pages of the campsites.
