At the end of June, during what was probably the hottest period of 2026 (41 ºC!!), we stayed here for just over a week with our folding trailer, and we were so happy with the beautiful pool that’s included in the price.
The campground itself is essentially a very nice place. There are many campsites in various sizes, with plenty of shaded … areas. The glamping tents come in many varieties and are very well maintained. Regular guests are mainly located on the left side of the entrance, and you certainly won’t be bothered by them.
However, the swimming pool is also the biggest drawback of this campground, as a campground. Because the poolside restaurant is also run by the campground managers/owners—and apparently there’s a shortage of staff even in Germany—the campground itself is somewhat neglected. Not in terms of hygiene—the showers, restrooms, and buildings are spotlessly clean every day—but in terms of general grounds maintenance. The thistles were scratching the backs of our knees when we arrived at our reserved spot, and in the immediate vicinity were some poorly cleaned-up sites belonging to regular guests who had recently left. This gives a somewhat neglected impression. It wasn’t even possible to have a beer on the patio on a warm day because all the attention apparently goes to the pool.
The area around the campground does make you want to visit this region again, but I doubt it will be at this campground.this is a translation, click here for the original
Eind juni, in waarschijnlijk de heetste periode van 2026 (41 ºC!!) , hier een ruime week verbleven met onze vouwwagen en wat waren we blij met het zeer fraaie zwembad dat bij de prijs is inbegrepen.
Camping zelf is in essentie een zeer fraaie plek. Veel staanplaatsen in verschillende afmetingen en schaduwmogelijkheden. Glamping tenten zijn er in vele variaties en worden zeer goed verzorgd. Vaste gasten staan voornamelijk aan de linkerkant van de ingang en heb je zeker geen (over)last van.
Het zwembad is echter ook meteen het grootste nadeel van deze camping, als camping. Omdat de horeca van het zwembad ook door de campingbeheerders/eigenaren wordt gerund en er ook in Duitsland blijkbaar geen personeel te vinden is, wordt de camping zelf wat verwaarloosd. Niet qua hygiëne, de douches, toiletten en gebouwen zijn iedere dag zeer netjes schoon, maar wel het algemene terreinonderhoud. De distels kriebelden lekker in de knieholten bij aankomst op onze gereserveerde plek en in de direct nabijheid waren wat slecht opgeruimde plaatsen van vaste gasten die de plek recent hadden verlaten. Dit geeft een wat verwaarloosde indruk. Ook een biertje op het terras op een warme dag was niet mogelijk omdat alle aandacht blijkbaar naar het zwembad gaat.
Omgeving van de camping nodigt wel uit om deze regio nog eens te bezoeken, ik twijfel echter of dat weer op deze camping zal zijn. -

Friendly reception. We stayed last minute for 1 night. Plenty of pitch space for a camper van. The site has a big swimming pool which is included in the price. Showers also included in the price, super hot and so clean. There was a kiosk on site but we did our own food so cannot comment on this. Calm and quiet atmosphere for a good night's sleep.
