    We stayed here for one night at short notice and regretted it - we should have stayed longer!!! Everything very nice, well maintained, very friendly staff! We were traveling with a motorhome and dog - perfect! There are lovely walks directly from the pitch, even with plenty of bag dispensers and garbage cans. During the day, even early in the morning, trains pass by at long intervals, which didn't bother us. There is also a sports ground next door, which is used but didn't bother us either. We will definitely come back and stay longer than one night!

    Wir haben hier kurzfristig für eine Nacht übernachtet und haben es bereut- wir hätten länger bleiben sollen!!! Alles sehr schön, gepflegt, sehr freundliches Personal! Wir reisen mit Wohnmobil und Hund - perfekt!! Es gibt schöne Gassirunden direkt ab Platz, sogar mit ausreichend Tütenspendern und Mülleimern. Tagsüber, auch früh morgens, fahren Züge in großem zeitlichen Abstand vorbei, uns hat es nicht gestört. Ebenso grenzt ein Sportgelände an, das genutzt wird aber für uns auch nicht störend war. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen und länger als eine Nacht bleiben!!

    Very nice, cozy, small campsite directly on the Drau, adjacent to a sports ground (soccer pitch). Building with reception, sanitary facilities and recreation room. The location on the wall of the former Sachsenburg castle is very idyllic directly on the Drau surrounded by forests and mountains. The most beautiful thing is the heavenly peace and quiet. Apart from the twittering of birds, interrupted by the occasional passing train (every 2 - 3 hours during the day? we didn't hear it at night), you can't really hear anything. Fantastic! We will definitely be back to explore the surrounding area on the beautiful cycle paths and footpaths! Very nice young lady at reception.

    Sehr schöner, gemütlicher, kleiner Campingplatz direkt an der Drau an ein Sportgelände (Fußballplatz) angrenzend. Gebäude mit Rezeption, Sanitäranlagen und Aufenthaltsraum. Die Lage an der Mauer der ehemaligen Sachsenburg liegt sehr idyllisch direkt an der Drau umgeben von Wäldern und Bergen. Das schönste ist die himmlische Ruhe. Außer Vogelgezwitscher unterbrochen vom einem hin und wieder vorbei fahrendem Zug (tagsüber alle 2 - 3 Std. nachts? haben wir nicht gehört) hört man eigentlich nichts. Fantastisch! Wir kommen definitiv wieder um die Umgebung auf den schönen Rad- und Fußwegen zu erkunden! Sehr nette, junge Dame an der Rezeption.
