Vacation with a motorhome at the lake
Tips for a lake holiday with a motorhome
What could be nicer for motorhome vacationers than standing by the water in their camper? Do you love looking out over a calm lake on the evening of a fun-filled vacation day? Outdoors in front of your motorhome or cozy inside? Pitches on lakes are often more sheltered from the wind than motorhome pitches by the sea. Nature fans are in the right place at the lake: you can often watch great crested grebes diving and resurfacing at lightning speed. Maybe you see herons or a family of ducks on the bank? Or cranes and sea eagles circle over the lake. Sometimes a sailboat or canoe glides silently past. Romantics look for a spot from which they can watch the sun go down. After a restful sleep on the lakeshore at night, perhaps you can refresh yourself by swimming in the lake in the morning? Or are you getting your own kayak, SUP board or inflatable boat ready for your first tour? Surfer boys and girls look forward to lakes with favorable wind conditions and glide over the waves on their windsurf boards.

All pitches by the lakeFind the perfect lake camping spot
When deciding on a motorhome site on the lake, you can choose according to your desired criteria: In addition to service facilities such as electricity connection, fresh water, gray water and toilet water disposal, the size of the pitch also plays a role. This is especially true if you want to drive a particularly long “land yacht” to the RV parking space on the lake. Here you will also find information if you would like to visit parking spaces on the lake with your car or caravan. Of course, you will also find out whether your dog is allowed on the pitch or at the lake.
A parking tip

If you are looking for your dream place on the lake, discuss what you and your loved ones particularly like before your motorhome tour: If you like swimming in the lake, you could take into account that the water temperatures are often slightly lower at higher altitudes. And that small lakes often warm up more quickly in the summer sun than large ones. If you love landscape panoramas, look for a parking space on a lake whose shore is lined with mountain peaks. Hikers and Nordic walkers find out about the network of paths; Cyclists look forward to well-developed riverside cycle paths. If you would like to stay at the lake with your motorhome for a few days, pay attention to shopping opportunities nearby. Or see if there is a nice place to stroll and eat nearby that you can reach on foot or by bike. Are you a water sports enthusiast? Then you choose your parking space with the motorhome on the lake based on what weather conditions are to be expected - and what deployment and touring options are available. Please also find out whether your hobby is allowed there at the respective time of year. Permission can often be obtained on site. Hobby anglers know this and find out in advance whether they can purchase a guest fishing license directly on site.
Tip!
Have you packed everything you need for a relaxing holiday with your motorhome by the lake? Inflatable boat and air pump, air mattress or beach ball, beach mat or picnic blanket, sunscreen and mosquito repellent?
