Why outdoor fitness for camping parks?
Camping guests are, by definition, outdoor people: active, nature-loving and increasingly health-conscious. Many want to keep up their training routine even on holiday — and a permanent outdoor fitness station lets them do exactly that, at any time of day, without booking or supervision.
For the operator, a BARbara calisthenics park is a rare combination: a premium-looking amenity with minimal running costs. There is no electricity, no heating, no trainer and no consumables — the station is usable 365 days a year and pays into your positioning as a modern, sporty destination that stands out from competitor sites.
Who uses it?
Space & requirements
The hexagonal BARbara layout is deliberately compact: it delivers maximum training content on minimal ground, so it never eats into valuable pitch space. A green corner, an area beside the pool or sanitary building, or an underused strip of lawn is usually enough.
A level, drained surface with an appropriate fall zone is required. As a permanently installed outdoor fitness system, BARbara is built to DIN EN 16630 and needs a certified acceptance inspection before opening — planning certainty for a publicly accessible campsite installation.
Typical use cases
Cost factors
A BARbara installation costs around €15,000 — fully ready to use, including groundwork and installation. Every project receives an individual quote.
Beyond the one-off investment operating costs are minimal, and the outlay is generally tax-deductible as a business expense.

Frequently asked questions
How much space does an outdoor fitness station need on a campsite?+
The hexagonal BARbara arrangement is very space-efficient and fits into a compact green corner or an area beside existing facilities. It is designed to deliver maximum training content without sacrificing pitch space — the exact footprint depends on the chosen configuration.
Are there ongoing costs after installation?+
Only minimal ones. BARbara needs no electricity, no heating, no staff and no consumables. Apart from the routine safety inspections required for any public installation, operating effort is very low, and the station is usable 365 days a year.
Can guests without fitness experience use it?+
Yes. Every information board carries a QR code linking to guided workouts across four levels — beginner, advanced, Ü50 and pro — plus exercise videos, so guests can start immediately even without prior calisthenics experience.
Does an outdoor gym help our ADAC classification?+
Sport and fitness facilities are a factor in the ADAC campsite classification, so a permanent fitness offer can positively influence your rating and gives you a clear marketing advantage over competitor sites.
Who installs the station and how long does it take?+
Installation is straightforward and requires no special machinery — your own maintenance team, hausmeister or a regional landscaping contractor can build it with standard tools. Because BARbara is produced in series and held in stock, delivery is fast and fits seasonal planning.
