Naturcamp Kranichrast

Nestled in one of Germany’s most tranquil and scenic corners, Naturcamp Kranichrast sits at Klausdorfer Weg 1, 18445 Prohn, surrounded by fields, meadows, and the protected beauty of the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft. It is conveniently located just 300 meters from the sea, offering direct proximity to the Baltic shoreline and the Ostsee coastal cycle route. The campsite is open year-round, welcoming guests in every season.

This nature camp has 50 parking spaces available — many with electricity — making it ideal for motorhomes and caravan. The site offers a modern, barrier-free sanitary building with underfloor heating, individual showers, two family bathrooms, and a bathroom for guests with disabilities. Convenience is further elevated with a washing machine and a dryer onsite.

For connectivity and leisure, there is free Wi-Fi throughout parts of the campsite. The camp offers a cozy grill house, plus two holiday apartments (each for up to 4 people), perfect for families or guests who prefer a bed rather than a tent.

The pitch terrain is a mix of compacted ground and grass, giving a natural feel while still accommodating vehicles easily. The camp also invites guests to bring their own mobile dog fences, if needed.

Naturcamp Kranichrast lies in a peaceful natural area with easy access to the Baltic coastline — the closest bathing spot at Klein-Damitz is only about 1.7 km away. This makes it a great base for beach days, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the water.

Cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts will love its position right along the Ostsee Coastal Cycle Route, offering scenic rides through marshes, fields, and coastal landscapes. The Hanseatic city of Stralsund, with its historic old town, brick Gothic architecture, and maritime charm, is only about 11 km away — making it a fantastic day-trip destination.

In the nearby village of Prohn, just 700 m away, you’ll find practical conveniences — a grocery shop, a bakery, and a butcher shop, as noted on campsite listings. With its rural charm and strategic location, the camp is also a great starting point for birdwatching, especially during crane migration seasons, reflecting the “Kranich-Rast” (crane rest) spirit.
