There has been some changes in guide itself. From season 2013 camps are rated by German as well as Dutch inspectors (form ADAC and ANWB) while also rating categories have changed. Camps that have been rated as best won't get Superplatz awards (Red and Yellow shield any more), but will be title ADAC BestCamping.
