Camping Wagenhausen was founded in 1959 as a small tent site right on the Rhine. The original founder and owner, Adolf Näf, is regarded as a pioneer of Swiss camping. In 1973, Swiss historian and journalist Niklaus Meienberg dedicated a multi-page report to Camping Wagenhausen, which later became part of his book «Reportagen aus der Schweiz». Since 1985, the site has been owned by the Müller family and is now managed by current owner Harry Müller.
Over the years, the campsite has been continuously expanded and modernized. Today, it covers an impressive 4.5 hectares and is a popular destination for holidays and recreation, ideally located directly on the Rhine and close to Lake Constance.
The country inn was built in 1989. In 2012, following the integration of the hotel and restaurant operations with the campsite and a comprehensive modernization plan, a detailed business analysis was carried out. Based on its findings, several major improvements were made: the eastern sanitary facilities were replaced with a modern, eco-friendly installation, and the mini-golf course and adjacent kiosk were completely renovated, landscaped, and modernized. On January 1, 2018, the business was officially converted into a joint-stock company.
As a highlight of its continuous development and in recognition of its exemplary «entrepreneurial commitment to the tourism strategy» the Müller family was awarded the Thurgau Tourism Prize in 2018.
