The application phase for the PiNCAMP Awards 2027 is now officially open, inviting campsites and industry professionals from across Europe to showcase the projects, initiatives and people driving innovation in outdoor hospitality. Recognised as one of the sector’s leading European awards, the PiNCAMP Awards celebrate excellence in campsite management, sustainability, accommodation concepts and professional achievement. Campsites can submit their own entries or nominate a partner, colleague or industry peer whose work deserves recognition.
This year’s programme includes six award categories. Four are dedicated to campsites: Innovation & Progress, recognising advanced digital solutions, automation and forward-thinking infrastructure; Sustainability & Environmental Awareness, highlighting best practices in environmental responsibility, circular economy and resource efficiency; Rental Accommodation, rewarding outstanding accommodation concepts for their design quality and integration with the surrounding landscape; and Small Campsite, honouring owner-managed campsites with up to 60 pitches that offer authentic guest experiences and embrace the principles of slow tourism.
The remaining two categories recognise individual contributions to the sector. The Young Talent award is reserved for professionals under the age of 35 who demonstrate entrepreneurial vision and leadership, while the Hall of Fame award honours an individual whose career has made a lasting impact on the development of European outdoor hospitality.
The winners will be announced during the PiNCAMP Gala, taking place on 15 January 2027 in Stuttgart, Germany. Applications and nominations can be submitted at: https://business.pincamp.com/surveys/pincamp-awards-2027-application/
