Camping Königstein

The proximity to the heavily trafficked railway line is quite problematic. It’s puzzling that one has to pay for water at the dispenser on the rented site. For this elongated campsite, it is nearly impossible to require waste disposal only at the entrance of the site. There are no waste bins available on the grounds. The number of showers is far too few for the number of guests. You always have to wait in line. The signage on the site is poor.

Unfortunately, I cannot give more than 2 stars, and that’s only because of the view! The premium pitches right by the water are way too small; you are cramped together. The road in front of the pitches is used as a private racetrack; if a child or dog runs onto the road, that’s it! The showers are a joke! Far too small, and there are only four men's and four women's showers for an estimated 150 people. You quickly get used to standing in line. I booked a pitch for 7 nights for 2 people and a dog for 246 €, which sounds good at first, but when I arrived, there were additional charges for the tourist tax, waste fee, electricity, and showers on top of that; the price/quality ratio just doesn’t add up! PS: I almost forgot: the price also includes 24/7 noise from goods and passenger traffic.

The place has been ideal for us for years for short trips! A lot has changed. For example, the self-check-in and check-out at the machine. Once you get the hang of it, it’s quite good. However, it would be advisable for an employee to be available for questions! We often saw how vacationers struggled with it. In fact, 3 campers left during this time... Sometimes there was a staff member there, but not always. It can’t have been due to a lack of staff. In the small store, there were sometimes 3 employees (and they were having fun, which you can wish for them, but not during peak hours!). The young lady "tries" to be friendly. Unfortunately, she can also be very cynical! We noticed this not just once!

By today's standards, the campsite is very poor, the prices are high, and there is a lot of noise from trains.

Great spot right on the Elbe. Reception was anything but friendly, ☹️. Croissants in the morning were excellent 👌. Top starting point for hikes in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.

It's a shame to experience something like this in such a beautiful area! The pitch was similar to a parking lot outside the camping site and was labeled as "Premium"! Sanitary facilities were very far away and, in my opinion, far too small for the size of the site! When we complained to management, we only received arrogant dismissals! Conclusion for us... Rip-off and not recommendable!

Good location Sanitary facilities outdated no shower curtains available Noise at night from the railway Prices overpriced Refund of deposit and valuables does not happen in a timely manner

The campsite is located directly on the banks of the Elbe and is a convenient starting point for excursions to numerous sights and hiking destinations. The sanitary facilities were always clean, but the shower heads are now quite calcified. At night, some trains passed by, making the nights not very restful. Otherwise, it is a beautiful campsite.
