Thurgau Camping Guide: Lake Constance, Orchard Country and Camping

This Thurgau camping guide brings together Lake Constance at Egnach, orchard country and a cultural outing to Romanshorn. Use the authorized base below for a relaxed regional stay, with time for a nature outing, a local meal and a cultural visit. Camping costs are in Swiss francs (CHF); published prices were checked on 16 October 2026.

Thurgau camping guide: nature and routes

The lake shore and surrounding orchard landscape provide a gentle alternative to high-mountain touring. Start with a short walking or cycling section and check the return route before committing to a longer ride. Thurgau Tourism places Seehorn in Egnach beside the lake and fruit-growing countryside. Wind, shared paths and summer crowds can change the pace of a lakeside day.

Authorized camping and verified price reference

Camping Seehorn, Wiedehorn 9, 9322 Egnach, publishes a 2026 tariff with standard, comfort and tent-meadow categories. For two adults without children, the standard-pitch table lists CHF 45 in low season and CHF 57 in high season (26 June–6 September). Its description includes guest tax, electricity and fresh/wastewater connections; electric-car charging is excluded. Confirm the category, vehicle length, waste-bag allowance and all extras before booking. Tent travellers should request the appropriate meadow package rather than use a vehicle-pitch figure.

Request a complete quote for your dates, party and equipment. Confirm reception hours, vehicle limits, tent acceptance and seasonal services before travelling. The figures are planning references rather than a live booking offer.

Free overnight camping

No specific free authorized overnight site has been verified for this itinerary. Use the named campsite or obtain explicit permission from the relevant landowner and local authority. A lakeside car park or picnic area does not by itself establish permission to camp.

Restaurant and local food

The tourism office highlights Restaurant Seehuus in Egnach, between the Lake Constance cycle route and Wiedehorn swimming area. Check the current menu and service for your dates. It is a nearby restaurant option; do not assume every camping package includes meals.

Culture beyond the campsite

Museum am Hafen in Romanshorn explores the town’s development as a transport hub on Lake Constance. Check its opening calendar and allow time around the harbour afterwards. A boat journey is another option, subject to the seasonal timetable.

Practical itinerary, season and access

Egnach to Romanshorn is roughly 5–10 km and 10–20 minutes by car, depending on the stop; verify the cycle route or train connection. The campsite’s touring season is generally March–October, but confirm dates and reception before travelling. Use one day for the local shore and another for Romanshorn. Pack wind protection, bike repair basics if cycling, and warm bedding for shoulder-season evenings.

Pack a waterproof layer, suitable walking shoes, drinking water, warm bedding and an offline map. Choose a marked route that matches your fitness and daylight; check local conditions before heading into higher terrain. Keep wastewater for designated facilities and follow current fire restrictions.
