Review in detail
PiNCAMP presents itself with the line 'Camping erleben. Campingplaetze entdecken' and states more than 14,500 campsites in 44 countries. The imprint names PiNCAMP GmbH, Hansastr. 19, 80686 Muenchen, with a Berlin office at Torstrasse 131, registered at Amtsgericht Muenchen under HRB 203240.
The pages we read are in German. We checked them on 4 November 2026.
Who is behind PiNCAMP?
PiNCAMP GmbH is named as operator and as controller of personal data. Managing director is Uwe Frers and the VAT ID is DE815413383.
The site is branded PiNCAMP by ADAC. A Swiss edition carries the line PiNCAMP powered by TCS and names the same GmbH. The privacy policy says some data is processed only by ADAC e.V. at Hansastrasse 19 in Munich, so the two organisations are linked, and we did not read how ownership is split.
How does searching and booking work?
Visitors search by destination, campsite name or ADAC search number, with arrival, departure and guests, and can switch between pitches and rental accommodation. The home page lists campsites marked as bookable and offers mobile homes by region.
The privacy policy says reservation requests are sent through the European processor Episerver GmbH, which suggests requests are passed to the campsite.
Where is data kept?
The privacy policy names Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL as host and says AWS Inc. and imgix are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. A named data protection officer, ePrivacy GmbH in Hamburg, is listed.
Which AWS region is used is not stated in the text we read.
Known limits
The pages we read are in German and do not show prices or fees. The privacy policy names the hosting company and a US-linked processor under the Data Privacy Framework, but not the region. The link to ADAC e.V. is visible in the branding and privacy policy, and we did not verify the ownership structure. Private land and farm spots are not what the portal is about.
Best suited to users of PiNCAMP
Campers who plan a tour of established campsites and read German, and who like ADAC search numbers as a reference.
