    Beautiful spots. However, the owner spent days on end mowing the lawn, trimming hedges, and doing renovations—it was a terrible racket. When I asked how long it was going to take, he gave me a rude response and got angry. I thought that was a perfectly reasonable question—after all, you come here for some peace and quiet, don’t you? Rude guy. A week later, the campground closed for the winter. Now he can renovate to his heart’s content.

    Prachtige plekken. De eigenaar heeft echter dagenlang de hele dag gemaaid, heggen gesnoeid, verbouwd; een herrie van jewelste. Toen ik vroeg hoelang het ging duren kreeg ik een grote mond en werd hij boos. Ik vond die vraag juist redelijk, je komt toch voor je rust? Onbeschofte vent. Een week later ging de camping dicht voor de winter. Dan kun je verbouwen naar hartelust.

    So, I’m going to write a review now (something I’ve never done in 15 years of camping!!!).
    We’re currently staying at a beautiful, spacious campsite with plenty of privacy and great low hedges (which, of course, need to be trimmed every now and then), with an amazing view!!
    The site is super clean, and so are the restrooms (if only people … would leave them clean themselves!!!), but unfortunately there are people who don’t know what a toilet brush is… or a squeegee!!!
    I don’t necessarily need a kiosk or a bread delivery service because we bring everything with us or just go shopping… what’s the problem?
    I wouldn’t need a mini-golf course or anything like that out in the great outdoors either.
    Anyone who needs all that should book a glamping
    vacation… which costs 100–120 euros!!!!
    I think these days... the campground isn’t too expensive.....I recently stayed at a well-known 5-star campground.....it was a disaster!!!
    But whatever....I love going hiking with my partner and our dog, and the hiking here is fantastic.
    The lady at the front desk was VERY friendly and even recommended an even nicer spot than the one we’d booked.
    Of course, the restrooms might not be enough when the campground is really busy, but I can’t say anything about that. There are only a few campers here right now, and I have the entire bathroom almost to myself.
    Oh, and… if you have a dog… I think you’ll have to buy your own poop bags!!!
    I’m grateful for this beautiful spot.
    Best regards,
    S. Kappelmann

    So jetzt schreibe ich mal eine Bewertung ( was ich seit 15 Jahre Camping noch nie getan habe !!!).
    Wir stehen gerade auf einem Wunderschönen großzügigen Platz mit Privatsphäre u.tollen niedrigeren Hecken ( die natürlich auch mal geschnitten werden müssen), mit einer tollen Aussicht!!
    Der Platz ist super sauber, dass Sanitär auch ( wenn man es selber sauber verlassen würde!!!) aber es gibt leider Menschen, die keine Klobürste kennen.....o.einen Flitscher!!!
    Ich brauche nicht unbedingt einen Kiosk o. Brötchenservice , weil wir alles beihaben o. eben mal Einkaufen fahren....wo ist das Problem?
    Ich bräuchte in der tollen Natur, auch keine Minigolfanlage usw.
    Wer dieses alles braucht, sollte Glamping
    Urlaub buchen....kostet dann 100-120 Euro!!!!
    Ich finde in der heutigen Zeit... ist der Platz nicht zu teuer.....ich habe vor kurzem auf einem bekannten 5 Sterne Campingplatz gestanden.....Katastrophe!!!
    Aber egal....ich gehe gerne wandern mit meinem Partner u. unseren Hund, u. diese ist hier genial.
    Die Dame an der Rezeption war SEHR freundlich u. empfahl uns noch einen schöneren Platz, als den , den wir gebucht hatten.
    Natürlich kann es sein, dass das Sanitär nicht ausreicht , wenn der Platz stark belegt ist , da kann ich aber nichts zu sagen. Hier stehen gerade auch noch einige Camper u. ich habe das ganze Bad fast für mich alleine.
    Ach so....wer einen Hund hat....kann sich , glaube ich, noch Kotbeutel selber kaufen!!!
    Ich bin Dankbar, für diese schönen Platz.
    Mit freundlichen Grüßen

    A beautifully located campground.
    The view from the campground is fantastic. The restroom facilities we used were okay.
    There are many places to visit that you can reach on foot, by bike, or by car.
    We’d love to come back.

    Sehr schön gelegener Campingplatz.
    Man hat eine tolle Aussicht vom Platz. Die Sanitäranlage in der wir waren, war okay.
    Es gibt viele Ausflugsziele die man zu Fuß, mit dem Rad, oder dem Auto erreichen kann.
    Wir werden gerne wiederkommen.

    The campground is laid out in terraces. The sites are large. We were there when the campground wasn't very busy. With 4 showers and 6 restrooms, it's sufficient then, but when the campground is fully occupied, that will definitely be a big problem. It's a great starting point for hikes. Brilon is within walking distance.

    Der Platz ist Terrassen mäßig angelegt. Plätze sind groß. Wir waren mit wenig Auslastung da. Da geht es mit 4 Duschen und 6 WC's, aber bei Vollbelegung wird das bestimmt ein großes Problem. Wanderungen kann man von hier gut starten. Brilon fußläufig erreichbar.
