Only cars and car trailers up to 3.5 tonnes permissible total weight are allowed. Trucks, tractors or other vehicles as well as trailers over 3.5 tonnes are not allowed.

You may set up an additional tent next to your vehicle. Each camper also needs a camping pass. The car camping ticket is only valid for the vehicle and not for the persons.
