Beautiful landscape: a riot of color in the forest

The landscape in autumn is characterized by a variety of colors.
The leaves of the trees change color in various shades of red, yellow and orange, creating a spectacular view.
This makes the landscape particularly fascinating.
This beauty of nature and the opportunity to enjoy it is a great advantage of camping in the fall.

This is what makes camping in the beautiful countryside so special:

  • Foliage of the trees in shades of red, yellow & orange
  • Spectacular view through a blaze of color
  • Camping in the fall = a special experience

Your destination also influences the landscape, so here are five top destinations in Germany and six international destinations:

Peace and relaxation: camping in the low season

The high season for camping is over in the fall.
This tends to be in the summer months.
That’s why campsites are generally less crowded in the fall.
This has the advantage that there are fewer visitors on the campsite and you therefore have more peace and relaxation.
The queues at the sanitary facilities are also shorter and you can discover new things in the area as there are fewer tourists around.
This gives you peace and relaxation:

  • High season for camping is over in the fall
  • Campsites have fewer visitors in the fall than in the summer
  • Queues are shorter at sanitary facilities
  • Relaxed exploration of the surroundings (fewer tourists)

Ideal temperatures: not too cold, not too hot!

The temperatures in the fall are pleasant and not as extreme as in the summer or winter months.
It is not too hot, which can make being outdoors uncomfortable, nor too cold, which would make it difficult to sleep or do activities outside.
These make camping more pleasant and comfortable.
The temperatures also make it possible to spend longer periods outside and enjoy outdoor activities.
These are the advantages of the temperatures in fall:

  • Not too hot, no uncomfortable time spent outdoors
  • Not too cold, no difficulties when sleeping outside or during activities
  • Possible: to spend longer periods outside & for outdoor activities

Outdoor activities: From mushrooms to bicycles

Hiking, mushroom picking and cycling– the orange-yellow-colored nature is wonderful to explore.
However, you can also expect rain in many places.
Then it can also be worth reading a good book in the roof tent.
Whatever the weather, autumn offers you many great opportunities to make your trip unforgettable.
So that you don’t lose track, you can find lots of tips for exciting activities on and around the campsite here:

Cost-efficient: spend less money & take more vacation

Prices for campsites and equipment usually fall in the fall.
There is less demand for equipment and accessories, so prices are lower here too.
This means you may have more money available to extend your stay or do more activities and excursions.
A longer trip in autumn also means that you can enjoy more of the fascinating landscape with colorful foliage.
That’s why you save money in the fall:

  • Peak season is over, fewer people are camping at this time of year
  • Less demand for equipment and accessories, lower prices
  • Possibly more money for longer vacations, activities & excursions

Offroad
Raised and extra stable for road and off-road… What do you do if you are traveling in regions with poor roads or drive an off-road vehicle or SUV whose dome height does not fit conventional trailers? The solution: the off-road tent trailer from CAMPWERK – specially developed for extreme conditions. This unique model impresses with a raised and particularly robust AL-KO chassis that can withstand even the most demanding off-road routes. The entire body is made of lightweight but sturdy aluminum, reinforced with durable stainless steel components. So you are perfectly equipped for any terrain.
Black / Silver
Available now: The CAMPWERK Offroader in the exclusive Black/Silver Edition CAMPWERK is expanding its range and now also offers the popular off-road tent trailer in the coveted Black/Silver Edition. The high-quality aluminium body is completely anodized in matt black, while the mudguards are powder-coated in elegant “Gun Silver Metal”. An absolute eye-catcher on any road and in any terrain!
The off-road trailer from CAMPWERK impresses with its lightweight construction: Thanks to the aluminum body, the base only weighs around 300 kg when empty. With a permissible total weight of 1.5 tons, it offers an impressive payload capacity of up to 1.2 tons – ideal for small excursions, transport and even larger expeditions.

Visually, the trailer blends in perfectly with the appearance of an off-road vehicle or SUV with its coarse-tread MT tires and robust, full-length aluminium mudguards. The mudguards are also designed in such a way that they are ideal for the safe transportation of petrol and water canisters or gas bottles.

To ensure flexibility, the off-roader’s tyres can be individually adapted to the towing vehicle on request, so that only one set of spare wheels is required. The standard ball head coupling can also be optionally replaced with a DIN or NATO eye.
T-drawbar or V-fork ?
Thousands of trailer drivers know the problem of tight spaces only too well: if you drive into a narrow lane and have to turn, it is important to back your car as far as possible against the trailer in order to get around the bend without any problems. With a T-drawbar, you can utilize the maximum steering angle. This is precisely why we at CAMPWERK rely on this tried-and-tested technology – for optimum flexibility and maneuverability, no matter how tight things get.

Material and processing.
The tent fabric of our trailer tents is made from a high-quality, 450 g blended fabric, also known as canvas. This unique combination of cotton and polyester combines the advantages of a natural fiber with those of a modern high-tech material. The result is a robust, breathable fabric that impresses with its pleasant feel and high dimensional stability.

The tent fabric, which is also used by the military, is impregnated and particularly tear-resistant thanks to the ripstop process. In this special weaving technique, thicker threads are woven into the fabric at intervals of around 10-15 millimetres, giving the fabric its characteristic tiled structure and exceptional tear resistance. It goes without saying that our fabrics are opaque and therefore offer optimum protection and privacy.
The basis of our trailer tents is a robust stainless steel frame with a thickness of 3×3 cm. A 1.8 cm thick, water-resistant wooden floor panel is securely fastened to this sturdy frame with stainless steel screws. The frame of the trailer tents is also made of galvanized steel tubing and special stainless steel components that ensure maximum stability. The modern surface finish not only offers a high level of corrosion protection, but also gives the material a pleasant feel and ensures a durable, weatherproof construction.
We rely exclusively on yarn from the German market leader Amann. Thanks to the combination of a cotton core and a high-tenacity polyester core, this yarn is characterized by a particularly high tensile strength and excellent water resistance.

On contact with water, the cotton coating swells and closes the seam holes created during sewing. For additional protection, all seams in the roof area are fitted with a transparent sealing strip to ensure maximum waterproofness.
Less is sometimes more.
We are often asked: What about the water column? For tent fabrics, the impermeability of the fabric is specified in the form of the water column. For cotton tents, this value is usually around 300 to 400 mm. However, our tent fabric offers an exceptionally high water column for cotton fabric of around 750 mm. This means that theoretically more than 75 cm of water can stand on the material before the first drops penetrate.

A major advantage of cotton as a natural raw material is its ability to swell when it gets damp, which provides additional waterproofing. In contrast, synthetic fabrics, which cannot swell, must have a much higher water column (between 3,000 and 10,000 mm, depending on the material) in order to achieve comparable waterproofness.

An excellent mattress is the basis for healthy and restful sleep. Just as every person is unique, their mattress should also be individually tailored to them.

Thanks to targeted pressure relief, back muscles and intervertebral discs can relax optimally. The innovative construction and high-quality materials create an ideal sleeping environment.

Suspension.
Good ventilation is crucial for your well-being and sleep hygiene. To ensure maximum sleeping comfort, we combine our mattress with an innovative Froli slat base. The flexible spring elements form a comfortable slat base with individually adjustable firmness zones. This combination ensures orthopaedically correct positioning of the body and provides targeted, pressure-relieving support. This effectively prevents tension and one-sided strain. The open, air-permeable cells also enable optimum ventilation and create a healthy sleeping environment.
