Opening Soon: What’s New for the Camping Drei Spatzen 2026 Season
If you’re craving a quiet, nature-rich escape that still keeps family fun and comfort close at hand, the countdown is on. The Camping Drei Spatzen 2026 season begins on 17 April, and this year brings even better options for campers, tent lovers, and vanlifers alike. From new camper van pitches to car-free tent fields beside a cheerful stream, here’s exactly what to expect—and how to plan a smooth, memorable stay in the Süd Eifel.
The essentials: dates, location, and vibe
- Opening date: 17 April 2026
- Where we are: In the village of Utscheid in the Süd Eifel, between Bitburg (Germany) and Vianden (Luxembourg), set among forested hills and a small valley.
- Campsite size: An intimate family campsite with 58 places.
- Atmosphere:
- In the pre- and post-season, expect peace and quiet—perfect for deep relaxation.
- In high season and school holidays, it stays calm yet develops a friendly buzz that fits sun-soaked, nature-forward summer days.
Directly from the campsite, you can step onto numerous hiking trails crossing woods, hills, and rock formations. The area rewards cyclists and mountain bikers with plenty of hilly routes. And thanks to our central location near Luxembourg, the well-known Mullerthal—often called Little Switzerland—makes for an easy day trip.
What’s new for 2026
New camper van pitches, right where you want them
Our new camper van pitches sit centrally near the main building—close to nature but brilliantly convenient. Each pitch includes:
- 16 A electricity hookup
- Its own water point
- A drainage outlet
This setup makes arrival, setup, and day-to-day camping easier, especially for short stays or road trippers who value quick, comfortable turnarounds.
Car-free tent areas beside the stream
For tent campers, car-free Comfort+ tent pitches deliver a calming, close-to-nature experience. You’ll find them mainly along our small on-site stream in the field called “Aan de Beek”. Each offers:
- A minimum of 100 m² of space
- Its own electricity connection
- A scenic, waterside setting (the stream is perfect for children to play and clamber, but not suitable for swimming)
Back-to-nature tenting—deliberately unplugged
Prefer a digital detox? Our Nature tent pitches are car-free, measure about 100–130 m², and are intentionally Wi‑Fi free. They’re reserved exclusively for tents—no cars or caravans—so you can truly slow down.

Use this quick comparison to find your fit for the Camping Drei Spatzen 2026 season.
| Pitch / Stay Type | Key Features | Where You'll Find It |
|---|---|---|
| Camper van pitches (new) | 16 A electricity, water point, drainage outlet | Centrally positioned, near the main building and nature |
| Comfort camping pitches | Electricity, Wi‑Fi, fresh water, drainage | Spread across two separate fields |
| Comfort+ camping pitches | Extra space (100–130 m²); some border the stream | Vary by field; some waterside, some extra‑spacious |
| Car‑free Comfort+ tent pitches | Minimum 100 m², each with electricity | Mainly along the on‑site stream in field “Aan de Beek” |
| Nature tent pitches | Car‑free, approx. 100–130 m², no Wi‑Fi, tents only | Back‑to‑nature setting |

Tip: If you want a waterside feel close to the action, look to Comfort+ options near the stream. If your priority is restorative quiet without screens, Nature pitches are your best match.
Family-friendly facilities that make holidays easy
Kids can roam safely and creatively—our grounds feel like one big playground:
- Two playgrounds for climbing, sliding, and imaginative play
- A small soccer field for quick matches
- A shallow on‑site stream for hours of play and clambering (again, not for swimming)
- A communal fire/BBQ area for marshmallows, stories, and starry skies
When clouds roll in, there’s still plenty to do indoors:
- Borrow board games from the games cabinet
- Pick a book from the bookshelf
- Enjoy pool, darts, and table football
When you’re ready to relax with a drink or snack, our bistro awaits—with two pleasant terraces that make summer afternoons stretch into golden evenings.
