Everything is good. The access is somewhat unusual via residential streets where parking is on one side, but it is manageable even with a width of 2.40m and an overall length of 13m.

Knausrich

Nice campsite that impresses with its location, the restaurant with delicious food, its own and easily accessible public beach, clean sanitary facilities, and a small shop. Unfortunately, there were also negative experiences here. We were promised 2 adjacent pitches, but unfortunately, another camper was parked between our two motorhomes. However, we were lucky with our large pitches; in the evening, every spot was occupied, even if it was the access road to the rear pitches. These campers had to enjoy their time at the campsite squeezed between the end of their vehicle and the front of the next one. And that on the dusty access road. And always remember, RV drivers greet each other.

On the Way - Stayed 3 Nights

Very good8

Stefan

We were on our way south. We actually wanted a place to stay overnight. Very friendly reception by the site manager, who introduced himself as "Ali". He did everything he could. Two sanitary buildings. One is older but TOP clean, the other very modern and also very clean. The site is located by a great lake. The nightly concert of the frogs was very soothing. The restaurant offering German/Turkish cuisine should not go unmentioned. We went there every day. The entire site is absolutely recommended.

Were just passing through: Nice spot and still close to the highway. Friendly reception. Restrooms well-maintained and clean. Restaurant: Great price/performance. Plus fresh, tasty, and friendly. We will come back on the next trip + maybe stay 1-2 nights longer.

A nice little spot. Friendly staff and clean sanitary facilities. The fun doesn't fall short even for children. Great value for money in this area. We had a small alternative spot, and we were very satisfied.

Wolfgang

Location? Good! Because close to the A3, but still quiet. And near Erlangen. And at a very beautiful bathing and sailing lake. Facilities: Already the reception signals to you what to expect at the site. Good organization, modern and tidy, clear and quickly understandable. There follows a well-structured area for transient campers, easy to drive in and generously sized pitches. A restaurant and a clean sanitary area that truly deserves this attribute. Just the area for washing dishes is almost luxurious, generously sized. A clean and nicely furnished playground makes the stay with the little ones a "child's" play. But the best place is nothing without its friendly, patient, and helpful site manager. My tip: Camping Rangau!

More info about Camping Rangau

Just a few kilometres from Erlangen, Camping Rangau is a paradise for families. They can enjoy swimming in the Dechsendorf pond and the playground. Sports enthusiasts can take advantage of the perfect wind conditions for sailing and surfing.

3-star campsite right next to natural waters

The natural paradise of Dechsendorfer Weiher is located approx. 13.5 km from the centre of Erlangen. Camping Rangau is a paradise for a holiday in the fresh air right on the banks of this natural body of water. Old trees provide shade on the long, approx. 3-hectare site. Situated in a nature reserve, the campsite offers a stable connection to the outside world with free Wi-Fi. Electricity is also available on all pitches up to 100 m² in size. Dogs are also very welcome: they have their own shower to cool off in. Self-catering guests will find numerous shopping facilities in the Heßdorf business park, approx. 2.4 km away. Gourmets can savour Greek and international delicacies in the restaurant directly on the campsite. Those with a sweet tooth can enjoy ice cream and cake. Thanks to its direct access to the banks of the Dechsendorfer Weiher, Camping Rangau is particularly popular with bathing holidaymakers. Those seeking peace and quiet can enjoy relaxing hours on the sunny sunbathing lawns. Two sailing clubs and a surf club invite you to enjoy water sports. Boat hire is also available. The campsite has a lovely playground with a large sandpit. The youth centre with table football is also very popular. If you fancy a day out, take the kids to the Schloss Thurn amusement park, around 15 kilometres away. The rides and the animal park are just a few of the attractions.

Frequently asked questions about the campsite Camping Rangau

How close is the campsite to the lake and what is the access to the water like?

The campsite is located directly on the idyllic Dechsendorfer Weiher. You can easily reach the swimming lake via a pedestrian and cycle path. The shore zone is mostly overgrown with reeds, but on the eastern edge of the campsite there is a small, cosy sunbathing lawn where you can access the water directly. Perfect for cooling off!

What are the sanitary facilities like at the campsite?

Two well-maintained sanitary buildings await you at the campsite. While one building is slightly older but absolutely clean, the other offers very modern facilities. In total, we have 14 showers, 23 toilets and a practical baby changing room. A barrier-free sanitary cabin is also available.

Are there any special rules or things I should keep in mind on site?

Since the campsite is very close to the A3 motorway, it is a popular spot for transit travellers. An important tip for your planning: a strict quiet period applies between 13:00 and 15:00, during which no cars are allowed to drive or enter the site. It is best to prepare for these fixed times.
