    ​4 out of 5 stars – Great place with a few minor drawbacks regarding quietness and site allocation
    ​We generally enjoyed our stay at the campground, but we do have a few mixed impressions to share.
    ​Positive points: The entire campground makes a very neat and well-maintained impression. The sites are generously sized, so you have plenty of … space to yourself. An absolute highlight was the private restroom facility—super modern, clean, and simply comfortable.
    ​The catch when it comes to quiet: You should know that the campground tends to be rather lively and noisy. If you’re looking for absolute relaxation and heavenly peace and quiet, this is probably not the right place for you.
    ​A criticism regarding site assignment: We hadn’t reserved a specific site number in advance. Although many sites were available at the time of our trip, we were assigned a spot that was quite close to and cramped next to other guests. We would have liked the booking system or staff to have shown a bit more tact in selecting our site to make better use of the available space.
    ​All in all, a good campground with great amenities, but due to the noise level and the site assignment, we’re rating it 4 stars instead of 5.

    ​4 von 5 Sternen – Toller Platz mit kleinen Abzügen beim Thema Ruhe und Platzvergabe
    ​Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt auf dem Campingplatz grundsätzlich genossen, müssen aber ein paar differenzierte Eindrücke da lassen.
    ​Positive Punkte: Der gesamte Platz macht einen sehr ordentlichen und gepflegten Eindruck. Die Parzellen sind großzügig bemessen, sodass man viel Raum für sich hat. Ein absolutes Highlight war das private Sanitärhaus – super modern, sauber und einfach komfortabel.
    ​Der Haken beim Thema Ruhe: Man sollte wissen, dass es auf dem Platz eher lebhaft und laut zugeht. Wer absolute Erholung und himmlische Ruhe sucht, ist hier vermutlich an der falschen Adresse.
    ​Kritikpunkt bei der Vergabe: Wir hatten keine Platznummer im Voraus gebucht. Obwohl zum Reisezeitpunkt viele Parzellen frei waren, wurden wir recht nah und gedrängt an andere Gäste gebucht. Hier hätte man sich bei der Platzauswahl etwas mehr Fingerspitzengefühl vom Buchungssystem oder Personal gewünscht, um den vorhandenen Platz besser zu nutzen.
    ​Alles in allem ein guter Campingplatz mit tollem Komfort, den wir wegen des Lärmpegels und der Stellplatzvergabe jedoch mit 4 statt 5 Sternen bewerten.
