Summary created out of 236 reviews

The location at the Biggesee is beautiful with walking and cycling opportunities in the immediate surroundings. Guests appreciate the peace and nature, although the campsite is clearly in transition with many cordoned-off areas and construction work. The sanitary facilities are a major point for improvement: guests complain about black mould in shower grouting, insufficient hot water during busy periods, and too little toilet capacity because one sanitary building is closed. Staff receive mixed reviews – some experience friendliness and helpfulness, others feel unwelcome or get insufficient response to complaints. There is hardly any entertainment or catering, which is disappointing for families with children.

    The sleeping pod only seems great at first glance. There’s absolutely no privacy or way to block out the light (no curtains or blinds, either in the front or the back). Drafts come in through every crack. There’s a complete lack of attention to detail. They just plopped it down there, and that’s it.
    The restroom trailer wasn’t clean. According … to the schedule, it had last been cleaned days earlier. It smelled very unpleasant. The men’s restroom didn’t have a door handle. The restroom building wasn’t properly clean either. Yes, you can’t blame the people responsible, but it should still have been cleaned up after two days.
    The campground’s location is really great. Just a few meters to the beach, but it was closed. So no beach bar either. We ended up making our way to the lake along the fence.
    The reception staff was curt. They just shoved the paperwork into our hands. No explanations whatsoever. They didn’t even notice that we’d presented the wrong ID. When we asked about the restroom facilities, they were brief or showed little understanding.
    The value for money is absolutely terrible.

    Das Schlaffass ist nur auf den ersten Blick toll. Es gibt keinerlei Privatsphäre oder Verdunklungsmöglichkeit (weder vorne noch hinten Vorhänge oder Rollos). Es zieht durch alle Ritzen. Es fehlt jede Liebe zum Detail. Einmal hingestellt und das wars.
    Der Toilettenwagen war nicht sauber. Letzte Reinigung lt.Plan ist Tage vorher gewesen. Es roch sehr unangenehm. Die Herrentoilette hatte keine Klinke. Das Sanitärhaus war ebenfalls nicht richtig sauber. Ja, man kann nichts für Verursacher, aber trotzdem sollte es nach zwei Tage weggeputzt sein.
    Die Lage des Platzes ist wirklich toll. Zum Strand wenige Meter, aber der war zu. Also auch keine Strandbar. Am Zaun entlang sind wir dann doch irgendwie zum See gekommen.
    Die Rezeption war kurz angebunden. Uns wurden nur die Unterlagen in die Hand gedrückt. Keinerlei Erklärungen. Es ist noch nicht mal aufgefallen, dass ein falscher Ausweis vorgelegt wurde. Bei Rückfrage zum Sanitärhaus wurde kurz oder Verständnis abgekürzt.
    Preis-Leistung stimmt überhaupt nicht.

    Actually, the campground has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, it looks incredibly neglected. Both the campground itself and the restroom facilities are unkempt in many places. Given the size of the campground, there are two restroom buildings, but one appears to have been closed for a long time (small trees are already growing in front of the … door), and the other was once nicely built, but it’s far from clean and well-maintained. The opening hours at the reception/store aren’t standard (by 8:30 a.m., most campers are up and would already like to have breakfast). As I said, it’s actually a campground with a lot of potential, precisely because it’s close to the swimming beach at Lake Bigge.

    Eigentlich birgt der Platz viel Potential. Leider sieht er unglaublich vernachlässigt aus. Sowohl die Anlage selber ist an vielen Stellen ungepflegt ,als auch die Sanitäranlage. Auf dem Platz sind 2 Satiärhäuser angebracht, aber eines ist schon wie es aussieht seid langer Zeit geschlossen(es wachsen schon Bäumchen vor der Tür)und das andere war mal schön gemacht, aber sauber und gepflegt ist anders. Die Öffnungszeiten in der Anmeldung/ Laden sind nicht Standartgemäß(halb neun sind die meisten Camper auf und würden bereits gerne frühstücken)Wie gesagt eigentlich ein Platz mit viel Potential grad weil er nah des Badestrands am Biggesee ist.

    A nice campground with good facilities close to Lake Bigge, in the heart of the picturesque Sauerland region. The only comment is that the shower area could be cleaned a little more often.

    Fijne camping met goede faciliteiten dicht bij de Biggesee temidden van het schilderachtige Sauerland. Enige opmerking is dat de doucheruimte iets vaker schoongemaakt mag worden.

    The cottage was fine, and the beds were comfortable. The floor could have been cleaned better. The windows were open and touching each other, and dust was coming out from underneath them everywhere. There was a vacuum cleaner, so I just did it myself. This was because we had people with asthma and a dog with a dust mite allergy. Beautiful surroundings, especially for people who enjoy hiking and water sports.

    Huisje prima, bedden goed. Schoonmaak van de vloer kon beter. De ramen open tegen elkaar en er kwam overal stof onder vandaan. Er stond een stofzuiger dus zelf maar gedaan. Ivm met personen met astma en een hond met een stofmijtallergie. Mooie omgeving zeker voor mensen die van wandelen en watersport houden.
