Camping Donnersberg

We just wanted to unwind and relax a bit. Instead of traveling far away, we were drawn to a place right nearby—and we weren’t disappointed.
Kudos to the owners: The grounds are very well-maintained, and dogs are also warmly welcome. There are plenty of activities for children, families, and dog owners. We especially enjoyed using the dog park, … and the water fountains were an absolute highlight for us. The owners and the entire team were always friendly, in good spirits, and approachable at all times. The food was also very delicious.
We felt completely at home and would love to come back! Read more Show less

It always feels like coming home... the staff is super friendly and always helpful. The grounds are very well-maintained and very clean. Everything you need is here.
We really love coming here...
Best regards until next year... Andreas and Peter

We stayed at Donnersberg Campground for a week. You can tell they’re upgrading the campground; this year they added a sports court and water (play) fountains. An additional restroom building has been placed at the top of the hill. The other, larger restroom building is usually clean and is cleaned regularly, though other campers don’t always leave … it tidy. The showers have a 5-minute timer, which was plenty of time for us, even when washing our hair. The kids had a great time at this campground; they quickly made friends with other children, mostly from the Netherlands. That’s nice for them, of course, but for us, the campground feels just a little too Dutch. You can also tell that the owners work very hard to make sure everyone is happy—kudos to you all; we see your hard work! Still, there are a few areas for improvement in our opinion. The campground looks busy and crowded; some sites are quite close together. We did have a nice spot, though. It feels a bit as if the campground is in the process of transitioning from a small, cozy campground to a medium-sized one. However, the facilities haven’t quite kept up with that change yet. The pool is too small for the number of guests, and sometimes—even on hot days—it doesn’t open until 11 a.m. There is, however, the swimming lake, where the kids have a great time. On the inflatable slide or on a SUP. But we adults don’t really like swimming among duck droppings and dogs in the water. It’s also good to know that there are a lot of dogs at the campground. The front desk has limited hours. This can be a hassle if, for example, you want to grab a laundry token or have a question in between. Though I must say, the owners are always approachable somewhere on the campground. There’s only one washing machine and dryer at the campground, which means that if you’re unlucky, you might have to wait almost the whole day for your turn to do laundry—so you can’t put it in the washing machine until late in the day and can’t dry it in the sun anymore. The reception desk has to open the gate for you, so that sometimes takes a little while. We ate at the restaurant once—the schnitzel tasted really great! There’s a set weekly menu that “alternates” between schnitzel and pizza. We found the surrounding area very boring; the nearby villages are deserted, and to do anything, you’ll usually have to drive 45 minutes to an hour. As for the bakery, there have already been some reviews about it. But the line really is quite long—just because “you’re on vacation and have all the time in the world” doesn’t mean waiting for a few (in our opinion, somewhat chewy) rolls is fun. So we bought pre-baked rolls at the supermarket (about a 12-minute drive away) and baked them in our little oven. But even a quick morning trip to the supermarket is almost faster than waiting in line. A single sandwich ordering system would be more convenient, in our opinion. The Wi-Fi coverage is really annoyingly poor. You get decent Wi-Fi coverage near the reception area, but checking the news from the comfort of your chair at your campsite is nearly impossible. We really don’t need to be on our phones all day, but it would be nice to be able to quickly look something up or stay in touch with family and friends. The campground markets itself as a “nature campground”—perhaps aimed at people from the big city—but this campground didn’t feel like a peaceful campground surrounded by nature. In short, we had a great time as a family (2 adults & 2 kids, ages 9 and 12) at Camping Donnersberg, but a week was more than enough for us. Read more Show less

We spent the weekend at Kota Bever and are really thrilled. The location is great and the view is breathtaking. Thanks to the terraced layout of the campground, it’s very peaceful—especially in the permanent accommodations.
The owners were very friendly and explained everything in detail, and our dog was more than welcome too ☀️

In August, we spent over a week at this wonderful campground. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The campsites were spacious, and the restrooms were nice. We also enjoyed some delicious meals at the campground a few times. We’d definitely go back!
