Gaytal Camping Körperich

It’s fun to tick off countries while you travel, and with a stay in Körperich you can easily tick off two countries at once. The town is in the Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm district in western Germany, right on the border of Luxembourg.

And it’s in Körperich that you’ll find Gaytal Camping Körperich, a family-friendly site with a pretty setup alongside the Gaybach stream.

It’s all about the outdoorsy scenes here: courtesy of the cross-border German-Luxembourg Nature Park, scenic strolls through the hills and leisurely riverside bike rides should be high up on your list of things to do. Dogs are welcome at Gaytal, so your pal can accompany you on explores.

When you can roam no more, let the on-site bar and restaurant entice you back with refreshing drinks and tasty dishes, like schnitzel, pizzas and salads. There’s a takeaway option on the food, too, just in case you prefer your eats on the go.

In high season, the site sets up activities like bingo and music evenings, and there’s a playground on site, which comes in handy when the kids are getting restless. To tire them out some more, the local outdoor pool (which is heated – bonus) is next to the site, with kids' areas, slides, a climbing wall and sunbathing spots.

Back at base there’s an amenity block with toilets, showers and a washing-up area. The site also has washing machines and tumble dryers, and the free wifi is site-wide, so there’s no need to all huddle in the same place when you’re checking in with the world.
