What campers are saying
Summarized by AI
This campsite scores with its idyllic location right by the lake in the middle of the Palatinate Forest. Campers particularly enjoy the generously sized pitches and the super friendly team on site. The clean sanitary facilities are also very well received. Good to know for the trip: Anyone heading here should be prepared for weak mobile phone reception.

The location in the Pfälzer Land is excellent, the sanitary facilities are always clean and well-maintained, and from the campsite, you can reach the forest in just a few steps. While the pitches are not marked, they are large enough and pleasantly flat. If you want peace and quiet, it's advisable to check in advance whether a loud event (e.g., Oktoberfest) is scheduled.

It is actually a very nice campsite, but it is a bit aged. The operator needs to take action if they want to stay relevant. In particular, the rear area urgently needs to be tidied up. The sanitary buildings were very clean, and the staff at the reception, kiosk, and restaurant were very friendly.

A beautiful campsite with spacious pitches. We had a shady spot right next to the stream flowing through the campsite. The sanitation facilities were very clean and well-maintained. It's a lovely place in the heart of nature by a beautiful lake where you can swim. The staff are very friendly. In the restaurant and beer garden, you can enjoy good food and drinks at a reasonable price. The portion sizes are very large. Dogs are not allowed in the lake, but they can go in the stream. Our dog could jump into the water, leashed to the caravan, which she really enjoyed, especially when it was 38 degrees. The internet was decent at our spot, especially for a campsite in Germany. Mobile phone reception was a bit weak, making it sometimes tricky when walking due to GPS signals. We had two wonderful weeks there.

The campsite was very quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pitches are very spacious. We had a comfort pitch where everything was included. Unfortunately, there were too few showers and toilets during peak times. However, we will come back.

Positive: Beautiful location with access to the lake and stream. Toilets are always clean and tidy, equipped with all amenities (disinfectant dispensers, etc.). The pitches are very spacious with good power points, as well as water and waste water (at least for our pitches). Biergarten with a drinks pavilion and live music on weekends. Friendly staff. Free Wi-Fi. Overall, very clean conditions. Negative: Everything at the lake must be paid extra (SUP/pedal boat, etc.). Generally not one of the cheapest campsites (price-performance ratio critical). Dogs are not allowed at the lake, but there is a "dog beach" by the stream that would be more suitable for chamois ;-). Showers occasionally only have cold water. Pitches are somewhat carelessly laid out, more like large meadows without hedges or similar separations. No criticism, just info: There is absolutely no mobile network (Telekom) on-site.... Overall, we enjoyed our stay! For short trips, we would gladly return.

This is an average campsite with a nice lake for swimming. The pitches are not very large. The showers and toilets are clean, but there are far too few of them. One must be aware that the lake is public and becomes very crowded during nice weather. The restaurant is rather average.

More info about Camping Clausensee
In the heart of the idyllic Palatinate Forest, the Clausensee campsite invites you to enjoy a holiday in beautiful natural surroundings. Thanks to its location right next to a clear bathing lake, the campsite is perfect for water lovers. The youngest guests will also enjoy the adventure playground and the varied programme during the holidays.
4-star campsite right by the bathing lake
The pitches at the barrier-free Clausensee campsite near Waldfischbach-Burgalben in the South West Palatinate are nestled between a dense forest and a picturesque bathing lake. The comfort pitches offer electricity as well as fresh water and waste water connections. Guests can decide whether they want to pitch their tent directly by the lake or by the babbling brook. Dogs are welcome at the campsite and can refresh themselves in the stream. The friendly team also offers a bread roll service. A full breakfast is also available in the restaurant on request. The umbrella bar with beer garden serves Palatinate specialities, tarte flambée and many other delicacies. There is also a bistro and a rustic pub on the campsite. The approx. 4 hectare bathing lake directly on the campsite is ideal for cooling off. Thanks to the gently sloping shore, even the youngest children will feel at home. There is also a pedal boat hire service. Families love meeting up in the playground, where the little ones can let off steam on the climbing frames and slides. The campsite is also an insider tip for anglers: you can buy a daily or weekly ticket at reception and fish trout, carp and pike from the lake.
Frequently asked questions about the campsite Camping Clausensee
What makes the location of Camping Clausensee so special?
The campsite is located in the middle of the idyllic Palatinate Forest in a quiet valley. The absolute highlight is the Clausensee lake directly on site with its sandy bathing spots and sunbathing lawns, as well as the cool stream that winds through the grounds. Here you can experience pure nature and relax wonderfully.
What are the pitches like at the campsite?
You can expect spacious, flat grass pitches, many of which are located directly by the stream. The pitches often offer a mix of sun and partial shade under trees. Since the grounds are quite open and do not have dividing hedges, you can enjoy a wonderfully free, natural camping feel.
Are there any special features regarding mobile reception or the grounds that I should know about?
Since the campsite is located in a deep valley, you have almost no mobile reception on site. Perfect for a real digital detox! If you still want to go online, we offer campsite-wide Wi-Fi. Another cosy tip: open fires in fire bowls are allowed on site – so it is best to pack some wood for cosy evenings.
