The Landal parks below are scattered across Germany. The first six cluster in western Germany near Limburg and Belgium. Further afield: Salztal Paradies in central Germany, Travemünde toward Denmark, Dwergter Sand near Bremen and Drenthe, and the well-known Winterberg.

The "best" park is personal, depending on your priorities. Beach lovers may favor Landal Travemünde. We've enjoyed hiking on recent trips too. For walking holidays, the Eifel or Moselle regions shine—and they're closest to the Netherlands for shorter drives, weekends, or Christmas markets.
