Extra-small to small campsites in green surroundings
Here you will find an overview of small campsites in green, natural settings across Europe. These nature campsites are located in particularly beautiful places, surrounded by greenery, and are known for their peaceful, nature-focused atmosphere. Think of campsites set among meadows and forests, alongside gently flowing streams, in mountain landscapes or among rolling hills. These are places where children have plenty of space to play freely and where evenings often end cosily around a campfire.
Many of these small campsites are designed with respect for nature and blend harmoniously into their surroundings. Sustainability plays an important role on many sites, even if not every campsite holds an official sustainability label. What always comes first here is the green location and the genuine experience of being close to nature.
This selection mainly features XS campsites with a maximum of 100 pitches. These very small campsites offer a personal atmosphere and are laid out in a clear and tranquil way. In addition, S campsites are also included: slightly larger, yet still small-scale, with up to 300 pitches. They are ideal for families who would like a few more facilities, without losing the relaxed feel of a smaller campsite.
Whether you choose an intimate campsite close to nature or a slightly larger, child-friendly camping park, here you will discover green holiday spots in Europe where peace, space and nature take centre stage.
