Whether you’re stuffy or not, campsites have their own rules. At least as long as they’re followed. The topic of e-scooters is heating up during the holiday season.
Bremen – There is a huge hype around travelling with a camper van or camping trailer. Not only because it is cheaper than many hotels in popular tourist regions. Magical sunsets in remote places and great freedom, that is what camping promises. The fact that it is also There is a downside, a “professional camper” told.
Claudia Kobold from the online guide “Canis Road” explains: “There are also days when the cramped conditions of the motorhome, technical problems or unpredictable weather conditions leave their mark.” Others despair at the Weight of the vehicle. And not only that. The Campsite owners have noticed the Europe-wide trend and have long been raising prices.
Croatian camper gets angry about e-scooter drivers
This applies not only to Croatia, but also to Croatia. Helmut M. also spent his vacation at a campsite in Zaton, less than 15 kilometers north of Zadar. He praises the resort there. The reviews on Google also suggest that the climate there is generally good. Nevertheless, Helmut left his vacation spot after nine days feeling noticeably annoyed. Facebook he posted in a camper group: “Actually a nice campsite. What really bothered us and was sometimes dangerous were the e-scooters. Children as young as four ride around on them without looking. You can pay as much attention as you want, but suddenly one of these things shoots out of a plot.”
The camper believes that children have no business being on such a “thing”. “It’s not for nothing that in Germany you’re only allowed to drive one on public roads if you’re over 14. Even adults drive around at breakneck speeds without any consideration for others,” he says, and asks his camping friends whether it’s the same elsewhere.
The camper is clearly stirring up a hornet’s nest. As of 10 June at 3pm, his post has been commented on 134 times. “Yes, I also think that it’s getting out of hand because the little ones are already driving them and can’t handle them at all,” reports one group member. The discussion expands: Disturbed midday rest, evening parties, all these accusations follow. What’s interesting is that you read that stricter measures are being taken on campsites in Italy. “These people leave the site the next day,” one person says.
The most important rules for e-scooter riders in Germany at a glance:
- No driving license is required to ride an e-scooter.
- The minimum age is 14 years.
- Wearing a helmet is recommended, but it is not mandatory.
- The same alcohol limits apply to electric scooter drivers as to car drivers.
- E-scooters are permitted on cycle paths, cycle lanes and cycle streets. Only if these are not available can they be used on the road.

Others can’t contain themselves: “Uiiiiii, when I read some of the bourgeois comments here, I’m so glad I never had such camper neighbors… old manager.” Surprisingly, no emotional debates follow here. They boil over when it comes to the question of the right age for e-scooter riders.
“Would-be campers like you”: E-scooter debate heats up
“Great things. They fold up well, take up little space when transported and are ideal for use on holiday. I think the 14-year-old limit is excessive. If children can ride a bike safely and get their bike license in primary school, they should be allowed to ride them,” says one person, who is met with a lot of opposition. Things get heated here. Sayings like “Arrive in the 21st century,” “Wannabe campers like you” and “Welcome to the block list” are thrown around. Some comments even had to be deleted.
It shows once again: The topic of e-scooters is polarizing. Munich threatened Mayor Dieter Reiter only weeks ago with a banThe chaos is too great. To prevent this from happening on Croatian campsites, e-scooter lovers will have to take responsibility themselves.
After posting a photo of his giant camper, one motorhome owner discovered that things can get rough in social camping groups. Many people feel disturbed by the large vehicle and vent their anger under the photo.
