Munich and Lakes Campervan Itinerary: 3 Days

Quick summary: This short campervan itinerary loops through the lakes south of Munich. Day one heads to Lake Starnberg and Ammersee, day two crosses to Tegernsee beneath the Alps, and day three visits Chiemsee and Herrenchiemsee Palace before returning. Drives are under two hours, campsites sit right on the water, and many companies require a longer minimum, so it also works as the start of a longer RV rental in a campervan or motorhome.
