Nice location directly by the lake, clean and nice washrooms. Unfortunately, the dining area is not appealing, and the surroundings are the same. The snack bar is okay, the operator is straightforward and nice, but the price-value ratio is not correct.

The staff was very nice. Unfortunately, the lawn was not mowed, making access to the pitch difficult due to untrimmed trees. Dead branches from a tree are protruding into the pitch, posing a danger to both people and RVs. They should have been removed before the start of the season. Furthermore, it states on the homepage that the reception is staffed until 7 PM, which is not true; it is only staffed until 5 PM. There is a restaurant on the premises that has never opened. In the evening, the path to the toilets is not lit, posing a risk of falling for both young and old.!!! The disposal facility for the chemical toilet is very unsightly, dirty and therefore only reluctantly to be used. The site has an unlikely charm; only the operator does not know how to or no longer understands how to develop the potential and excite guests with service and amenities.

We have been coming to the campsite for many years now, and a lot has been modernized since then and it is really nicely done. But compared to other campsites, this place is unfortunately just expensive. No restaurant, few leisure options and the staff changes constantly, which does not contribute to the quality.

Organization very bad, constantly changing staff, no events, No facilities on site, cleanliness of the toilets inadequate. Pitches are very tight. Lighting very poor despite an electrician as a contractor. Contracts for permanent camping questionable. Wi-Fi only at the reception. Standard has been stuck for 20 years. Boat rental possible depending on the staff's mood. The site is not recommended. Access and parking very limited to impossible. Staff very unfriendly.

The location of the square is very beautiful, but unfortunately, the restaurant has probably been closed long before Corona. WLAN is only available in the reception area (and thus not usable at any single parking space), in the restaurant of course not at all as it is permanently closed. The parking space has a water connection, but unfortunately, it only works if someone from the camper stands next to the tap and presses a button. The alternative showers in the sanitary facility are relatively expensive. Unfortunately, there was no peace at night on the weekend as 2 youth groups were chilling noisily at the campsite.

Currently on site. Very nicely located, deep in nature and wonderfully quiet. Unfortunately no comfort site.... no direct water connection at the pitch, Wi-Fi only at the reception and the restaurant is also closed. The bowling alley is therefore also not usable. Boat rental is very limited and partially defective. However, the staff tries everything possible to make you feel comfortable there. But I also believe that a campground that is only open seasonally should offer everything that is advertised and available online.
