Camping boom in Halle: Private gardens become a holiday oasis!

Camping boom in Halle: Private gardens become a holiday oasis!

With the beginning of the camping season, Halle and the surrounding area have found a remarkable increase in inquiries about accommodation for tents and motorhomes. This phenomenon, which has been observed since March 2025, means that the local service team receives between 10 and 20 inquiries per week via email and telephone. However, many campers have to deal with a lack of official parking spaces in Halle. Therefore, the project "Wait space in the garden? Camper!" gained in importance because it provides private areas, such as gardens and meadows, as parking spaces for campers.

The project, which was started with the support of the State of Saxony-Anhalt, now enables four new hosts who have joined the project since the start of the season. A total of around 42 private parking spaces are now available, which are distributed across the entire city to Lake Wallendorfer. There are also 13 public camping, parking and parking spaces in Halle and the surrounding area. The initiative thus shows that innovative solutions are sought to meet the increased requirements.

popularity of the parking spaces

clearly becomes the popularity of the parking spaces offered using the example of the Sandanger tennis club, where over 70 vehicles with around 140 guests were counted in the first ten weeks since the start of the season. Halle, on the other hand, only has two official urban parking spaces: Fährstraße, which is open all year round, and the campsite "am Nordbad", which opened its doors in mid -May. These two urban options only offer 19 caravan and seven tent places.

The fluctuations in the demand for campsites are also due to the growing segment in the tourism sector in Saxony-Anhalt. The overnight stays on campsites in the region have increased by more than 46 percent since 2019. Especially the project "Wait space in the garden? Camper!" has established itself as an attractive solution that offers advantages for both hosts and campers. These private areas are often used according to the principle of couch surfing, partly against donations or by helping in the garden.

tourist attractions in Saxony-Anhalt

Saxony-Anhalt is not only characterized by its camping opportunities, but is also known for its historical sights, cities worth seeing and the picturesque lake and river landscapes. The region is shaped by heath and wine-growing areas that make the stay for campers particularly attractive. A highlight is the "Romantic Street", which combines castles, monasteries and palaces.

The state capital Magdeburg with its 230,000 inhabitants is an example of the change from an industrial city to a living Elbe metropolis. The landmarks include the Gothic cathedral in which Emperor Otto I is buried, as well as the modern citadel, which was designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Not to be forgotten is the Harz National Park, the first cross -border national park in Germany, which inspires visitors with dense forests and impressive landscapes.

The developments in Halle and the growing demand for campsites are not only a sign of changed travel trends, but also a way to experience the cultural treasures of Saxony-Anhalt. The country has numerous opportunities for campers who are looking for adventure and relaxation in a unique landscape.
