Ostsee Camping in Zierow – a nice campsite in northern Germany

Writer: Helena Bergström

Together with eleven other motorhomes, we spent three nights at Ostsee Camping in Zierow near Wismar on the German Baltic coast. Today we thought we'd tell you a bit about the campsite - and then there will be a bunch of pictures from the dinner and party on the last evening with the gang.

Baltic Sea campsite

Ostsee camping in Zierow is a really large campsite that is nicely located on a long sandy beach in northern Germany, not far from the city of Wismar.

Here you can sunbathe and swim, of course, and the campsite also serves as a starting point for visiting the city of Wismar.

There is a bus to Wismar city centre right outside the entrance (a few times a day). There are also bicycles and electric bikes for rent, and of course you can also take a taxi or your own car or camper.

Services at Ostsee camping

You can camp with a camper, caravan or tent, and there are also cabins to rent. The campsite has fresh and well-maintained service houses, including the possibility of booking a private bathroom and separate bathrooms for both children and dogs.

There is also a restaurant, where you can order different kinds of schnitzel, among other things.

Activities at Ostsee camping

There is a nice outdoor gym at the campsite, as well as opportunities for fitness.

You will also find a small area with tame animals as well as bowling (or actually “kegel”, which is a German variant of bowling).

A closing party with the gang

On our last evening together, we decided to set up a long table at the campsite. Everyone set out what they wanted to eat, ranging from grilled meat or salad to fresh or smoked fish from the fishmongers in Wismar harbour.

We even joked that we had "flown in a chef from Sweden", and it was in fact almost true. Our friend Christina's husband Måns couldn't join us in the camper vans because he had to work, so he flew in after the rest of us. And he actually happens to be a chef. He also cooked for me and Peter and Peter's brother and his wife, so we were really lucky!

We had a lot of bad luck with the weather in Wismar, but when it was time to set up the long table, the sun finally shone. It was sooo nice! One after the other stood up and sang everything from schnapps songs to feudal songs - or told hilarious stories or read a funny text from a book.

We could have stayed there forever, if it wasn't for the fact that the sky suddenly opened up and the rain poured down. eastern down on us. But who gives up for that? We huddled together under the awnings and continued the pleasant evening. A big THANK YOU to all the wonderful people who joined us and made this trip great!
