Camping Tante Henni

We spent a night here because we had an appointment in HH. The place is quite small and cramped, but since it was early April and still fairly empty, it was okay. What was really unacceptable was the lack of cleanliness in the sanitary facilities. In the corners, it surely hadn't been cleaned for at least a week. On the next visit, there will be nicer alternatives.

A very cozy spot near the city (Hamburg) that impresses with straightforward processes. Before arrival, the license plate is requested and the parking spot number is communicated. Electricity is available upon inserting coins. Thus, theoretically, a stay from arrival to departure could occur without personal contact - which would be very unfortunate as 'Aunt Henni' is extremely nice and helpful. Toilets and showers are located in mobile units, but are very spacious and always clean. The access road is a bit narrow, but not problematic. Air traffic is quite audible during the day, depending on the approach direction.

Predominantly small plots. Accordingly, they hang closely side by side. With a motorhome, it is just acceptable. Dishwashing area without roofing.... Certainly not ideal in northern German gloomy weather... Airplane noise from Hamburg airport from 6 AM to 10 PM. Wi-Fi is not noticeable and, according to the operator, known to be problematic with Android devices. However, the operators are very friendly and helpful.

A small, cozy campsite. Unfortunately, it is not written anywhere that it is located in a flight path of Hamburg Airport. That means airplane noise from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

We found the term "campsite" rather misleading. This site has little to do with a campsite in the true sense. Specifically: Pitches: There are two categories, premium and normal. Premium only means that the site is larger than all the others, which is also necessary with trailers and awnings. The normal pitches are far too small for a longer stay. Okay for motorhomes, but not suitable for trailers, cars, and awnings. It should also be mentioned that on the premium pitches, there is artificial turf, which is good in the rain, but I think it doesn't belong on a campsite when you want to be in nature. Sanitary: There are two showers and toilets at the reception, where the showers are subject to a fee, 5 minutes for one euro, just like in the tiny house, where it is draughty because the roof is open. The only free showers are in containers, one for men and one for women, both have a urinal and a toilet. The downside is that if someone is showering, you can't wash your hands since the sinks are in the shower stall. Washing up: Unfortunately, this is not well thought out, which means that if it rains, you can only wash up with an umbrella, and there is only a 5-liter hot water boiler; the warm water runs out quickly when two people want to wash up. Right across from here, separated by a wall, is the disposal for chemical toilets, causing a nice smell when washing up. Electricity: 0.80 euros per kWh, paid at a machine, not bad, but the downside is that if you want to check or top up, you have to squeeze through huge clumps of Pampas grass, which are notoriously very sharp-edged and since the trailers/ motorhomes are also parked very close together, you don't have much space to the neighbor, from our perspective it is way too tight for fire safety reasons. Bread roll service: Exists, but we didn't use it. Wi-Fi: Is available, but according to the operator's statement, only works with iPhone, at the second antenna; at the reception, it also works with Android, oh yeah! What we noticed is that most guests stay for one night and then leave, which isn't bad in itself, but due to the tightness, maneuvering with a trailer isn't always easy, and we also had to move our car a few times so that a new guest could even get to their pitch; not a problem with a motorhome or mover, but not everyone has that. During our stay, a storm passed over the site, breaking a large branch off a tree; one guest was lucky that it didn't fall on their trailer; the operator's response, after being made aware of it, was that you just have to turn out when leaving, otherwise nothing happened. Our conclusion: For motorhome drivers, a super transit site, but for a longer stay, we wouldn't recommend it from our perspective; the site itself appeared very unkempt, the sanitary facilities were always clean except for the containers, the drains were full of hair, and there was always standing water in the container.

The location of the campsite is good (the airport is nearby, but it is quiet after 11 PM). The connection to Hamburg is very good. The sanitary facilities could be improved. Too few toilets. Furthermore, I believe that it is no longer up to date to charge extra for the showers.

First: the booking and payment via the internet was easy and good. Then: we recognized the pitch from last year, but there was no space available, so we came here this year. The owners are friendly but not very helpful. The request for a few rolls on the first day was denied (order necessary the day before) even though there was a free breakfast. Also, the request for storing cooling packs was denied. I’ve experienced different things elsewhere. The site is divided into plots. The booked pitch did not quite match the online specifications of 10 x 7 meters and was rather tight for a bus with a awning. The ground is like concrete, setting up the tent becomes a real effort. The sanitary facilities are a joke. There is one container with a toilet/shower for m/f without extra payment. Whoever needs to go to the toilet while someone is showering cannot wash their hands. I don’t understand why there are 2 sinks in the shower and none in the toilet. The boiler water was set to 82 °C. Of course, otherwise it wouldn’t be enough for several people. But that no one has burned themselves here without a thermostat in the shower is nothing short of a miracle. Dangerous for children. At the wooden container, there are 2 showers (with fee - 1€ for 5 min) and 2 toilets (unisex) but without heating. The sanitary facilities were generally clean. The site was quiet from the guests but extremely loud during the day due to the adjacent airport noise. Conclusion: it was nice here, but I don't need to do it again.

Friendly, helpful operators. Sanitary facilities are very clean. Additional sanitary facilities are shortly before completion. Overall, there is nothing to complain about. For dog owners, there are very nice paths for walking. Nearby is a great Italian restaurant that loves its job. There is also a Greek restaurant, which we unfortunately did not manage to visit.
