The ADAC/ANWB Inspections & Classifications

For decades, campers have relied on the ADAC and ANWB when it comes to advice and information about campsites. The classifications reflect the level of facilities offered by campsites in Europe and enable a fair comparison. These trusted systems provide comprehensive evaluations based on facilities, services, and overall quality, helping campers find the perfect spot for their next adventure. Every year our independent campsite inspectors travel across Europe to assess some 2,000 campsites for those aspects that are considered most important by campers.

ANWB Classification

ANWB Classification of Small Campsites:

To better serve campers who prefer small campsites and to highlight these campsites optimally in ANWB, a specific classification model has been developed for campsites with up to 60 pitches. This model considers aspects important to small campsites, such as privacy and extra-large pitches, while giving less weight to aspects less relevant to them. This ensures small campsites can achieve the maximum score when compared with other small campsites.

The adapted weighting of the performance criteria:

Sanitary: 50% | Grounds: 30% | Eating & Shopping Facilities 8% | Recreation 4.5%

| Swimming 7.5%

Camping Key Europe

With a total of over 1.000.000 card holders across all of Europe, the Camping Key Europe is the most influential camping card in Europe. And we have an ambition to grow; one of the ANWB’s
objectives is to increase its reach. The card offers campers a wide range of advantages, but these advantages will work both ways, if you accept the card at your campsite!

1. Advantage: Better occupancy rate at your campsites

2. Safe: No risk in the event of default or damage

3. Convenience: Replacement Identification
