Updating your information (opening times, features, services, etc.)
Campers do not just research campsite features and services on PiNCAMP.de, but also opening times (especially during the currently very dynamic situation). Please be sure to enter your opening times and other information about your campsite.
> You can easily update your information yourself. To do so, simply log into adac-campingdata.com with your login data. Alternatively, you can use our contact form.
Downloading and inserting ADAC icons
Has your campsite been rated by the ADAC? Are you participating in the ADAC Campcard Program? Do you want to encourage more guests to rate your campsite on PiNCAMP? Or do you belong to the most popular campsites in your region?
Show it to your website visitors by inserting the official ADAC icons on your website! We also recommend linking the icon directly to your profile on PiNCAMP.
Participation in the ADAC Campcard Program
Are you familiar with the ADAC Campcard? It is the leading benefit program for campers, giving ADAC Campcard holders attractive discounts on campsite and pitches all over Europe. Campsites with Campcard offers are more popular among campers. You too can benefit from the ADAC Campcard and generate more bookings in the low season!
Participation in this benefit program is completely free of charge for campsites and pitches.
While other benefit programs dictate rigid pricing structures, the ADAC Campcard gives you full freedom over your prices and benefits.
Find out more about the ADAC Campcard and register your campsite for free.
Participation in PiNCAMP Online Booking

Entering and/or updating 2021 availabilities

Thanks to our new search function, campers can now specify a specific travel period in their search and campsites that entered their availabilities will be shown higher here.
> Please use your channel manager or PMS system to update your availabilities. You can find an overview of the connection points here.
Adjusting cancellation policies
Especially during the current situation, flexible cancellation policies are essential to most campers. For this reason, it is very important to us to assist them with maximum availability of pitches and flexible cancellation policies.
Currently, we are surveying campground interest and openness to participate in flexible Corona cancellation policies in order to implement new features on PiNCAMP that will increase visibility and reservations for your campground.
