Camping Berger in Rodenkirchen

Camping Berger is Cologne’s largest campsite, almost a small village really. The wind swishes through the trees, the passing cargo ships sound their horns, and campers are only divided from the banks of the Rhine and its pretty beach bays by a cycle and pedestrian path. There’s around 150 tree-shaded spots for short-term campers and another 150 for permanent guests, whose residences are adorned with potted plants, bird feeders and garden furniture. There’s a playground for kids plus a very handy mini-market on site selling groceries, sun lotion, magazines – and coffee. The communal bathroom and cooking facilities are generously proportioned and well maintained. It’s all very state-of-the-art here, although Berger is one of the oldest campsites in Germany.
