Naturcampingplatz Salem (am Kummerower See)

Nestled on the tranquil shores of Lake Kummerow, Naturcampingplatz Salem offers a peaceful retreat for campers, motorhome guests, and nature lovers who want to immerse themselves in the idyllic Mecklenburg Lake District. This charming campsite lies on the grounds of Ferienland Salem, a well-known recreation destination in the heart of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern’s nature park “Mecklenburgische Schweiz und Kummerower See,” surrounded by rolling forests, shimmering water, and wide-open skies.

The camping area stretches across a 0.5-hectare meadow right by the lake, providing spectacular views over Lake Kummerow and plenty of room to pitch tents or park campervans. With approximately ten pitch spaces available, it strikes the perfect balance between intimate natural camping and generous outdoor freedom.

Essential utilities like electric hookups and water access are available at many pitches — just bring your own extension cable for campervans.

Beyond simple camping, the wider Ferienland Salem estate invites you to join sailing courses, canoe tours, or archery sessions, making the property a wonderful choice for families, groups, or active travellers seeking both adventure and relaxation. On-site recreation includes open-air football, beach volleyball, basketball, table tennis, and outdoor chess, plus a sandy beach area perfect for swimming or sunbathing.

Whether you’re here for a quiet escape, a multi-day outdoor adventure, or an event with friends or classmates, Naturcampingplatz Salem’s blend of nature, facilities, and water access creates an unforgettable base for your getaway.
