ADAC Classification: This is how it is rated
The ADAC classification shows the level of facilities offered by a campsite. The highest classification level is 5 stars. The classification is calculated from the individual results of an inspection in the areas of sanitary facilities, campsite grounds, supply, leisure facilities and bathing facilities. For this purpose, ADAC inspectors travel throughout Europe to gain an on-site impression of the respective campsite. To ensure that the evaluation is fair and transparent, it follows fixed criteria that are applied uniformly throughout Europe. About 250 data points are collected during an inspection. If a campsite manages to achieve an above-average rating and is classified with 5 stars, it receives the ADAC Superplatz rating.
