To Find Site: - Leave A61 motorway at junction 6 on the spur motorway
in the direction of Bad Durkheim. At second set of traffic
lights turn right and turn second right at campsite sign. The campsite
is at the end of this road. The site is closed between 1.00 and 3.00pm
so park on right on approach road as parking immediately outside site is
limited.
This campsite is part of the KNAUS chain of campsites. It is a large
campsite with approaching 600 pitches although over half are given over
to permanent and rental units. From reception there is one long central
road through the site with pitching areas off this road. Pitches are all
on grass except for a few serviced pitches which have a paved area. Size
varies but generally between 80 and 100 sq metres although there are
some larger ones. The serviced and lakeside pitches attract an
additional nightly fee. Electric points are rated at 16 amps and
connectors are CEE17 blue plugs, longer leads may be required on some
pitches. Drinking
water taps are place at regular intervals along the main site access
road. There are three toilet blocks on the site. They are all of a very
good standard with seated pedestal toilets with paper provided. Site
wide wireless internet is available at an extra charge. Next to
reception is a shop/café where bread can be ordered, although we were
not told this was the case when we arrived. Despite a mix of
nationalities using the site there is no information in anything other
than German which is perhaps a little unwelcoming! The onsite lake can
we used for bathing and is popular with people staying onsite. For
children there is a large play area suitable for all ages. Adjacent to
the campsite is a restaurant/ Beer Garden.
In a separate area at the far end of the campsite there is an
area set aside that accepts larger groups of children of various ages.
We were not aware of this causing any difficulties. Next to the campsite
is a small airfield from which light aircraft and helicopters operate
from, during our stay there was not a particular noise nuisance.
This is a good site for an overnight stop or perhaps a longer stay.
Date of stay late June 2012.
The campsite is situated in a major wine growing area and there are
several wineries within walking distance. The attractive Spa town of Bad
Durkheim is a short drive from the site. There are many opportunities
for walking and cycling from the site. There are a couple of
supermarkets within a short distance of the site.
