Schenk

What Schenk does

Schenk operates as Mosel Camping Bernkastel GmbH, a privately held German GmbH that runs a family-run, adults-only campsite on the Middle Moselle in Bernkastel-Kues, Rhineland-Palatinate. The site is owner-operated by Sabine Ehmke and positioned as a quiet, flood-safe retreat in the Moselle wine region, with mostly paved caravan/camper pitches equipped with 16-amp electrical hookups, an automated chemical toilet disposal system (CamperClean), an unheated outdoor pool, and a small on-site shop. Core customer segments are adult campers seeking relaxation, wine enthusiasts interested in the Moselle region, and active outdoor travelers using the Moselle cycling path and hiking trails.

The product offering is anchored on three pillars: campsite pitch fees for self-contained caravans and campers; a small fleet of rental accommodations (Hobbithouses with Smart-TV and heating for 2 persons, MaxiPods with vineyard views for 2 persons, TrekkingPods for hikers and cyclists) targeting guests without their own equipment; and ancillary services including Fiat 500 Cabrio day rental at 70 EUR, bread roll delivery, gas bottle exchange, ice cream sales, and stone oven pizza/pinsa. The company maintains a wine partnership with the Josef Bernard Kieren family winery from Graach, which supplies wine and specialties sold at reception.

The business model is direct-to-consumer with no third-party distribution: bookings are processed through the company's own Wix-hosted website and phone reservations during limited reception hours (8am-1pm and 3pm-6pm in season). Marketing is conducted through Instagram and Facebook channels, plus a 3D virtual tour and downloadable site plan on the website. The company operates seasonally, with the 2026 season recently opened, and runs with a 17-employee headcount. There is no disclosed revenue, no institutional funding, and no proprietary technology beyond standard website and booking infrastructure.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• Airbnb: Airbnb is a global short-stay rental marketplace offering cabins, pods, and unique lodging. It is comparable as an enabling/adjacent platform whose glamping listings in the Moselle wine region compete with Schenk's Hobbithouses and Pods for travelers seeking distinctive vineyard-located stays.
• Camping.info: Camping.info is the leading European campsite directory and review platform used by German-speaking campers. It is an 'others'-category peer because it is an enabling/comparison platform that channels demand to sites like Schenk, shaping the competitive environment in which single-site operators acquire guests.

Broad incumbents

• Center Parcs Deutschland: Center Parcs operates forest-based holiday parks in Germany with lodges, indoor pools, and family activities across multiple sites. It competes with Schenk for nature-immersed leisure travelers in Germany but at a larger, family-focused scale that differs from Schenk's adults-only, single-site boutique positioning.
• European Camping Group (ECG): European Camping Group is a holding company for European campground operators across France, Italy, Spain, and Croatia. It is comparable as a broad incumbent aggregating independent campgrounds across regions; Schenk could either be a future acquisition target for ECG or compete against its network on the Moselle.
• ADAC Camping: ADAC operates the leading German campsite directory and quality rating system used by campers across Germany and Europe. It is comparable as a broad incumbent in the German camping market that aggregates demand and benchmarked quality for sites like Schenk, which competes for the same camping traveler and benefits from ADAC ratings.
• Landal GreenParks: Landal GreenParks is a large Dutch-headquartered operator of holiday parks across Europe offering bungalows, lodges, and camping pitches. It is comparable as a broad incumbent in the vacation-park space that competes for the same nature-immersed family and adult leisure traveler, though at much larger scale and with a wider accommodation mix than Schenk's boutique Moselle site.

Direct peers

• Huttopia: Huttopia operates a European network of nature campsites and glamping villages with cabins, tents, and chalets in scenic locations. It is directly comparable to Schenk because both run small-format, nature-immersed sites combining caravan/camping pitches with rentable cabins/pods targeting outdoor leisure travelers, and Huttopia has expanded across multiple European regions including France, the Netherlands, and Spain.
• Vacansoleil: Vacansoleil is a European camping holiday operator running its own and partner campgrounds with mobile homes, lodges, and pitches across Western Europe. It is comparable to Schenk because it serves European camping and glamping travelers seeking scenic, region-driven (often wine/river) destinations with a mix of camping and rental-accommodation inventory.
• EuroParcs: EuroParcs operates holiday parks and campgrounds across the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium with a mix of pitches, mobile homes, and lodges in nature locations. It is directly comparable to Schenk because its German locations (e.g., along the Moselle and Rhine) target the same wine-region leisure segment with combined camping-pitch and cabin-style inventory.

Regional players

• Camping de la Moselle (France): Camping de la Moselle and similar cross-border Moselle-valley campgrounds operate on the French side of the river with comparable caravan pitches and rental mobile homes. It is comparable as a regional peer serving the same Moselle tourism corridor but on the French side, competing for cross-border leisure travelers without directly overlapping Schenk's German site.
