Ferienpark Teutoburger Wald Barntrup

I expected more considering the information on the website, despite the nice sanitary facilities. Sloping pitches. A bit of a gloomy atmosphere. Almost only Dutch people. If you leave your bottle of dish soap at the washing area in the evening, it will be gone the next day! For showering, it's 30 € for 6 nights for 2 people. No refunds if you still have plenty of minutes left on your card when you leave. And if you arrive too early on the first day and politely ask if you can go to your spot early and check in later, you’re met with a very unfriendly NO. And that's putting it mildly! So never again to this campsite!

The Ferienpark Teutoburgerwald in Barntrup is a beautifully maintained campsite. Clean, heated sanitary facilities. Spacious pitches. Not all pitches are completely level, so wedges are handy. These are also available at the campsite. Pitches 47 and 48 are reasonably flat, without needing wedges. Despite it being high season, there is no overwhelming crowd, just a pleasant buzz. The children were picked up by the cheerful animation team. There is a bread roll service available, but no shop at the campsite. The adjacent pool is very neat, providing a nice place to seek some coolness.

We have no complaints about this campsite. It is idyllically located. There are many nice Dutch people. The town is just 400m away. There is a great Italian restaurant. There are also plenty of excursion destinations available. We will come back.

We really enjoyed our time as a family. Very well maintained and a top sanitary house. Mini kiosk, bun service, gastro with various themed evenings that we also took part in and do not regret at all, the owner makes a lot of things herself and fresh, which was also very tasty. Staff very friendly and also helpful. We would love to come back.

Nice owner, who offers the possibility to stand right by the playground (especially practical with very small children), sanitary facilities are quickly reachable from everywhere. The owner is dedicated to her guests and finds a solution.

Well-kept neat little campsite. Friendly staff, the sanitary facilities were very clean and adequate, I never had to wait for showers or toilets, everything was great.

Okay for a weekend, but nothing more. Very sloping pitches. Sanitary facilities definitely reach their limits at full capacity, cleanliness unfortunately leaves much to be desired. A bit remote, but therefore quiet at night. It's not cheap, but the showers and electricity are included. If the weather is nice, the outdoor pool is also included in the price, which is right next door. Tip for schnitzel day, 14 €, and then the fries have to be ordered separately for an extra 3.20 €, I already found that a hefty price. Moreover, in the restaurant only cash payment is possible, we had to drive into the village to get cash, I unfortunately don't find that very modern anymore. The operator is unfortunately not open to criticism, you are asked if everything was okay, but actually he does not want to be pointed out his flaws. We will not come back.

The most positive place turns negative when the behavior of the staff towards the guest is not right. This was our experience during our visit. Top 1 We arrived around 12:15 PM, 2 adults and 2 children aged 8 and 11. We had reserved a spot on the motorhome pitch. Although the place was empty, we were sent away and told to wait in a nearby parking lot until 2 PM because we could only occupy our space then. Such a thing has never happened to me in my entire camper life. An already empty spot, and one sends a GUEST away to come back in almost 2 hours. Top 2 But that’s not enough; one can still improve! When asked whether we needed a shower card, we said no because we shower in the motorhome, and nothing about further usage options was reported. However, when visiting the swimming pool, these cards were also required as access authorization. So back to the reception to get the cards. They were handed to us with the unfriendly words "You said you didn't want shower cards." Top 3 To use the grill that one has at the pitch, one has to pick up the grill rack at the reception. After several inspections, we were given a grill rack that was rusty and dusty; the others were even less appetizing. We graciously declined the offer for the staff to dust off the grill rack and did it ourselves instead. Top 4 The next day we continued our journey. With the cards and the grill rack (cleaner than when taken over) we went again to the place of "rudeness," or the reception, to return everything. For the cards, we had to listen to the statement that we should have returned them right after swimming (which was not communicated when picking them up) and that the grill rack was still dirty, but it was accepted as is. We enjoy traveling with our motorhome, meeting nice people, and appreciating beautiful places. We have also spent very nice times at less attractive places that we would gladly visit again because we were warmly welcomed as GUESTS. Our conclusion about the Teutoburgerwald Holiday Park GmbH: Nice place with very good amenities. Friendliness of staff and hospitality still has a lot of room for improvement. The latter only applies to the reception; we did not visit the gastronomy.
