Campsites in Berlin by the water: camping on Müggelsee and Havel

A campsite in Berlin, close to the city and yet by the water?
In Berlin, you’ll find what is otherwise rare.
The capital is surrounded by forests and meadows, making it the perfect place for wild nature and small adventures away from the big city.
Nevertheless, the city is close by, so you can experience a lot at the weekend, on day trips or even during a longer vacation in Berlin itself.

Forests, meadows and nature: the truly wild Berlin

Anyone who knows the German capital knows that there are countless tourist attractions.
Many people who have already been there and fallen in love with the metropolis are now familiar with the Spree cruises and the classic city tour.
To add a little variety to your next Berlin vacation, we recommend swapping your hotel booking for a nice pitch on a campsite.
With a roof tent, which can be set up in no time at all, it’s even worth it for a short trip.
And if you simply want to relax and unwind while exploring Berlin, you’ve come to the right place.
The proximity to the many bodies of water around the city is perfect for exploring by boat, and there are plenty of opportunities to hire bikes and enjoy tours along the Spree and the banks of the Havel.
If you like swimming, you can go for a dip in Nieder-Neuendorfer See, Tegeler See or the Havel.

Indoor attractions & sights in Berlin

Fancy a bit of culture?
The multifaceted city of Berlin has everything your heart desires.
From sightseeing in the hustle and bustle, delicious food and walks in nature, to historical memorials or the opportunity to go shopping in the most luxurious stores.
From KaDeWe to the Mall Of Berlin – luxury and souvenirs can be found on every corner.
The famous Reichstag building and the Brandenburg Gate are also not to be missed during your visit to Berlin.
The impressive view over Berlin from the glass dome alone makes a trip here worthwhile.
But Berlin has much more to offer besides the most famous corners of the city.
Here we have picked out some other highlights and attractions that are definitely worth a visit.

East Side Gallery: unique art & popular photo spot

If you are interested in art, you should not miss the East Side Gallery.
With a diverse range of art and history, it impresses numerous tourists every year.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, 118 artists from 21 countries painted the East Side Gallery.
Even today, the famous Brother’s Kiss by Dimitrji Vrubel is the best-known painting on the Berlin Wall.
This motif is depicted on numerous postcards and souvenirs and is a symbol of Berlin’s history.
A visit to the East Side Gallery is worthwhile just to admire this work.
The highlights of the East Side Gallery:

  • Art and history on offer
  • Famous painting: Brother kiss painting
  • Popular photo spot

History & culture: Historical sightseeing

When you come to Berlin, you quickly end up in Berlin Mitte.
This is where the main train station is located and most routes from the airports also lead here.
In Berlin Mitte, as in any international metropolis, you can take a stroll through the streets.
But that’s not all that awaits you here.
Berlin is a top spot for art, culture and history.

Neighborhoods: Prenzlauer Berg, Neukölln & Co.

If you are interested in real Berlin life, then you should pay a visit to the surrounding districts.
Prenzlauer Berg is definitely a must-see for anyone interested in culture.
This district has a charm all of its own and offers a great opportunity to relax and enjoy the day.
You should also take a look at neighboring Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg and Neukölln, stroll through the streets and find a cozy place to soak up Berlin life.

History at Checkpoint Charlie

Berlin has plenty of historical monuments and remarkable architecture to offer.
You can familiarize yourself with Berlin’s history at places such as Checkpoint Charlie, which once served as the border crossing from West to East Berlin.
The former military checkpoint provides a lot of interesting information that you may not have known until now.
For example, the checkpoint was the scene of spectacular escape operations from the former GDR to West Germany.

Food: The traditional Berlin currywurst

Of course, the stomach should not be neglected on a trip to Berlin.
A highlight of Berlin cuisine is definitely the Berlin currywurst and should definitely be tried during your visit here.
You might not get any closer to the answer to the question of who invented the currywurst, but you will find out which version you like best.
Is it the currywurst from Berlin, Hamburg or the one from the Ruhr area?
According to Uwe Timm’s novel “The Discovery of the Currywurst”, a fictitious person served the first currywurst to Hamburg in 1947, while Berliners insist that Herta Heuwer offered a fried boiled sausage with a sauce made from tomato paste, curry powder, Worcestershire sauce and other ingredients at her snack stand in 1949.
If you believe Herbert Grönemeyer, however, the sausage clearly comes “from the pot”.
Either way, currywurst is and will remain a specialty in Berlin and you will come across it on every corner.

Currywurst Museum Berlin

For those who still haven’t had enough of the delicious currywurst, a trip to the Currywurst Museum is a good idea.
Here you can learn all about currywurst and try one of these specialties at the same time.

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.
Good night.
The comfort sleep set consists of a high-quality visco foam mattress that adapts perfectly to the individual body shape, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The set is complemented by the innovative Froli bed spring system, which guarantees an exceptional sleeping experience. Perfect sleeping comfort in a well thought-out overall package.
Premium mattress.
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.
Our premium mattress adapts perfectly to the contours of the body and promotes orthopaedically correct positioning of the spine. 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.
There are no compromises at CAMPWERK: We rely on flexible visco foam with memory function. The unique combination of supportive foam core and relieving visco foam topper ensures maximum sleeping comfort.
  • Visco-elastic mattress.
  • High-quality Tencel® cover (38 % Tencel®, 62 % polyester).
  • Four practical turning loops.
  • Four-sided zipper.
  • Removable, divisible and washable.
  • Four practical turning loops.
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.
Are you allergic or do you have special health requirements? No problem! We cooperate with a renowned German mattress manufacturer to offer customized solutions. Simply contact us and together we will find the ideal mattress for your needs.
