To Find Site:-
From the direction of Vienna take S5 road in
Krems. Having passed the Hofer supermarket on the right at the next
roundabout take the third exit into car park of the Sciffstation and
bare sharp left onto minor road which is
adjacent
to main road you have just come along, and follow round to campsite.
Donaupark Camping Krems is a fairly small site with around sixty
pitches. It is very popular and you either have to arrive fairly early
or book ahead in order the guarantee a pitch, particularly during bank
holiday weekends. It is situated directly on the banks of the Danube
between Krems and Stein an der Donau. Given its semi urban setting
coupled with a degree of river traffic some noise will be experience but
it is much quieter at night. All pitches are on grass
and not overly generous in size. There is a
separate area for tents. The average maximum length of unit is about
eight metres, anything longer I would suggest discussing with the site.
The riverside pitches are perhaps shorter than this. Electric points are
centrally situated and have German two pin connectors and are rated at
6amps. The only water points are either at the toilet block or the
motorhome service point and waste water only at the service point. Given
the overall size of the site this should not pose a major issue. The
toilet facilities are of an older vintage but none less perfectly
serviceable with seated toilets with paper provided. There are also dish
washing and laundry facilities. Reception has limited opening hours and
is closed between 10.00am and 4.00pm, however there is usually someone
around if you arrive outside these times. Next to reception is a bar
serving drinks/coffee/ice cream, bread can also be ordered. There is
site wide WiFi which is free
but you have to have a code from reception. The
site is in the ACSI discount scheme but by the time tourist and rubbish
tax is added its usually another, €4 a night on top of the head line
price.
The centre of Krems is about a kilometre and a half walk from
the campsite and is well worth a visit, particularly the old town. There
are lots of cycle routes, ask for a map from reception, including along
the Danube. From near the site there are river steamers visiting towns
upstream. There is also a railway station in the town which could
provide further scope for excursions. For food shopping there is a Hofer
supermarket across the main road from the site.
