Camping on the river Elbe and near the Bauhaus
Located on the Elbe, the Elbe Cycle Route and the R1 European Cycle Route, not far from the Bauhaus – the Junkers Paddelgemeinschaft is a „Kanustation“ and the ideal camping site for cyclists and paddlers who want to spend the night in Dessau at a reasonable price.
At our campsite, you can still stay amongst yourselves if you’re camping in a tent. We’re sorry – but if you’re travelling in a motorhome or caravan, you’ll need to find another campsite in Dessau.

If you are traveling alone or in a small group, you do not necessarily need to register in advance during the regular camping season.
From 6 pm during the season, there is always someone on site to welcome you. Please plan your arrival so that you reach the boathouse before 8 pm.
If you want to be on the safe side, feel free to send us an email or call ahead. Our campsite team works on a voluntary basis, so your call will usually go to voicemail. However, you are welcome to leave a message, and we will call you back. Don’t be surprised if the return call comes from an unknown number — we forward all calls to the mobile phones of our team.
