Campingplatz am Steinrodsee

Good campground as a stopover, near the highway, sanitary facilities clean and functional, online bread service possible, all good! However, you can hear the highway at the site.

We did the fully digital check-in with site selection about 200 km before arrival from the car. It worked well. We arrived at 6 PM and the barrier opened as promised with license plate recognition. A permanent camper kindly helped us push. Water at the site is also a plus. Hot showers are available and functioning, but they are not exactly new or modern. By evening, the site became quite full. Not noisy, just the air traffic is clearly visible and audible. The lake in front of the campground doesn't make a particularly nice impression. Swimming is prohibited, but you wouldn't want to go in anyway. Bread service starts at 8:00 AM - the barrier was also open for departure earlier in my opinion. So it was sufficient for our transit.

Overall poor in every respect.

We were at the site for a stopover on our way to France. While basic things like cleanliness and the friendliness of the staff leave nothing to be desired, the overall picture is more than difficult. What we did not know (and did not research due to all our previous experience): You can only officially leave the site at 10 AM. This has already disqualified the site for transit travelers more or less. We were then able to leave earlier with the help of a friendly service employee. Furthermore, the gouging for electricity and showers is annoying. While I find the 20 cents for the really clean and well-equipped shower acceptable (especially in light of energy savings), I find 50 cents for electricity, which was used up in less than 12 hours, more than inappropriate. Overall, a stay like in a small garden association.

After 40 years of camping experience, this is the worst campsite we have ever seen. We booked and paid for the spot online 2 hours beforehand. The condition was that only caravans over 6.50 m were allowed. Before we drove through the gate upon arrival, we could already see from the road that the booked spot was too small for our large 9 m long and 2.50 m wide caravan. We then went to the "Bretterbude," which was supposed to be the reception, asking if we could choose another spot; there were still a total of 20 spots available at that moment! This didn't suit her at all, and she became rude. We left again, even though we had paid for the night. We do not value an inappropriate response from the operator. As with all other negative reviews, it is always the campers who are wrong and supposedly misrepresent the facts. Dear campers, even just for a night while passing through, like us, steer clear of this totally outdated, untidy campsite that is difficult to access with large caravans, plagued by aircraft noise, and run by an incredibly unfriendly operator. One simply gets the impression that someone wants to enrich themselves with little work and effort. I don't even want to know what the sanitary facilities look like, but negative reports about that have already surfaced.

We used the campsite as a stop due to its convenient location and were warmly welcomed by the operator. Everything was very clean and hygienic. The washing and sanitary facilities are practically arranged, and everything has been thought of. With many good ideas, the operators ensure that guests feel comfortable. If the opportunity arises, we will gladly return to this site.

Everything is regulated at this campsite. Access to the site and sanitation only with a magnetic chip - that's understandable. Access to rubbish disposal also only with a chip and at designated times. Closed after 8 PM! On the otherwise clean toilets, there is a page of fine print rules on the inside of each toilet door. Frequently monitored by video surveillance. Everything so well regulated? Our assigned plot 155 had no electricity connection; the next connection 154 had apparently been unused for a long time and there was a WASP NEST there. UNBELIEVABLE. At 6:30 PM, no one was reachable for follow-up questions. We ended up being self-sufficient. Later, the campsite operator crossed my path, but by then I was no longer interested in electricity, etc. I cannot understand the partly very positive reviews here.

Never have I encountered such an unfriendly and arrogant crew, absolutely not customer-oriented. Change out the entire staff, then the campsite will be back on track.
