Caravanning and watersports – a good fit!

In Germany and all across Europe there are numerous campgrounds and caravan sites that are located by the water and offer a wide range of watersports. The choice is yours: surfing in the sea, SUP or kayak tours on canals and lakes or a relaxing boat trip on calm waters.

Many campers prefer to plan their route before the holiday begins. Others enjoy the spontaneity and flexibility that camping offers. But even for a spontaneous trip, it’s a good idea to do a bit of research in advance, because each water sport and each body of water has its own regulations and requirements. This also applies to your choice of campsite. For example, wild camping is not allowed in Germany and most other places in Europe. You can easily find all the information you need on the internet or in tourist information centres. If you want to save on preparation time and get advice from the pros, a good place to do so is during a visit to boot Düsseldorf. Here you’ll find numerous travel experts offering tips and information on camping and sites near the water. You can even book your holiday on the spot!

For those who don’t have their own watersports gear, many waterfront campgrounds offer their guests rental equipment for their various activities. And if you prefer to travel with your own gear, many campgrounds rent out storage boxes to keep it safe, regardless of whether you’re transporting paddles, boards or even a boat: The most important thing is to make sure there’s enough space and to load your equipment securely. If the storage space is tight in the caravan, folding or inflatable kayaks and boards are best suited. Oru kayaks fold down into a compact box for easy transport and inflatable kayaks are easily rolled up after use. There are also modular SUP and paddleboards which consist of several parts that can be assembled without any tools.

Special carrier systems for the car roof or tailgate are suitable for the safe transport of watersports equipment. Thule and Sawiko offer a range of practical carrier systems for the uncomplicated transport of boards and boats. If you prefer to take your own boat on your travels, there’s no getting around a solution with a boat trailer. The prerequisites for this are a trailer hitch on the vehicle and the corresponding class of driving licence. But watch out: a Class B car driving licence may not be sufficient.

No matter what type of route or water sport you choose, one thing is clear: caravanning and watersports are a perfect match! Of course, this also applies to a visit to the Caravan Salon and boot Düsseldorf. From beginners to professionals – there’s something for everyone there.
