Why stay here instead of a standard campsite?

Many campsites offer marked parcels, busy infrastructure and very little privacy. Anderswo Camp is different.

Here, camping feels closer to nature. You have more space, more calm and direct access to the forest. Instead of fixed rows, you find places that follow the landscape.

This is not about entertainment or perfectly organised camping routines. It is about simplicity, atmosphere and real outdoor experiences.

Where is Anderswo Camp?

Anderswo Camp is located in Finsterau in the Bavarian Forest, in southern Germany, close to the Czech border.

The campsite sits at over 1,000 metres above sea level, right next to the Bavarian Forest National Park and near Šumava National Park.

It is a quiet and remote region, ideal for hiking, exploring the forest and slowing down. At the same time, it is still easily reachable from cities like Munich.

A legal way to camp close to nature

Wild camping is not allowed in the Bavarian Forest National Park in order to protect nature and wildlife.

Anderswo Camp offers a legal alternative for people who want to stay close to nature without using large and crowded campsites.

You sleep close to the forest, with a natural and simple atmosphere, but with the reliability of an official campsite.
