Waldcamping am Brombachsee

Sufficient free places. Check-in only possible via self-check-in & with credit card, even though 2 ladies sat comfortably at the reception! No cash payment possible!! Site allocation incredibly poor & clumsy, with a 3.10 m high motorhome it was impossible to get through and avoid low-hanging branches in the driveway. Site rebooking was also nerve-wracking and complicated! No shop available, the essentials could be obtained at the reception - but only until 7:00 PM. Next shop far away in the village. Well, not very guest-friendly. Restaurant closed in the evening due to an "event"! Dinner taken outside in the beer garden, just before the thunderstorm hit, sheltered. Food quality and selection leave much to be desired. Schnitzel unappetizing, cheese platter likewise. Fast food leaves much to be desired. Well, for the emergency it had to suffice.

For us, this has been the campsite with by far the worst price-performance ratio for years.

The camping site itself is nice. But cleanliness is not taken very seriously here. Paper for drying hands is rare. Toilet paper is often scarce too. The dishwasher looks especially terrible. Wi-Fi is virtually unavailable. The mobile network is also almost non-existent. The pitches are nice and the campsite is located in a quiet area. Unfortunately, the beautiful spots are occupied by mobile homes. I also find it outrageous to want to ban such reports.

The womohafen Absberg is good. Showers for families after swimming in the lake are way too expensive with the new system. Not family-friendly basic cleaning after swimming possible. 3.80 for 5 minutes with one child and one adult.

In the first week of October, and despite the single-digit temperatures, the place is well frequented. The pitches are spacious and half grass, half gravel. We like it, because since it has been raining for several days, nothing stands in the way of a dry outing at the caravan, instead of the usual mud at other campsites. Quiet time, despite the busy days with children, from 8:00 PM you haven’t heard anything more. The catering on the campsite is closed, but it doesn't matter to us as we are self-sufficient. Leisure value is good, many cycling tours are on Komoot, walks and the places nearby are also nice to see. The reviews regarding sanitary facilities are not comprehensible for us. The showers are free, hot water endlessly, it is clean and the amount of toilet paper does not indicate that it is not being cleaned, which is not true. Vending machines in the digital age are okay for us!

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful campsite, where there was a beer garden with refrigerators. Unfortunately, this campsite has now become a 'Tinyhouse Hotel'. Now if they were really original Tinyhouses. No, they are mobile homes that apparently make up the main category of the site. I couldn't identify any service, no vending machines, no kiosk, and even the beer garden was closed. It's a pity, compared to the former state of the campsite, this is unfortunately nothing more than what has to do with true camping. The densely packed mobile homes have the charm of a barracks. On the positive side, we had a pitch for our camper with a private bathroom that was clean and everything worked. The pitch was nicely located at the edge of the site and was slightly sloped but could be leveled with wedges. The playground is still very nice.

Beautifully located site with slightly sloping terrain. One side densely packed with mobile homes, which were hardly occupied at least during our stay (the long weekend towards October 3rd), while the pitches were well occupied despite the high price. The sanitary facilities have clearly seen better days and are - judging by the large amount of toilet paper that was stacked in the cabins - not cleaned and replenished too often. Washing and drying costs 4€ each; I can't explain how the 16€ mentioned in one of the other reviews came about. The staff at the reception (I haven't seen anything else) were very friendly. The cashless concept does not really work, as all machines can only be used with coins or notes. The exception is the roll ordering for breakfast - here you can or must pay by card. I find the 1-star ratings inappropriate; the site is simply too beautiful for that. But you can feel the lack of care everywhere, whether in the sanitary facilities or the playground and the pitches, where there is quite a bit of litter lying around. On our pitch, there were many cigarette butts and crown caps. Regarding the rating: actually 3 stars, as it is far too expensive for the condition. There is also one star deduction because - unfortunately still everywhere - there is no protection against cigarette smoke. Especially here we had the dubious pleasure of having chain-smoking neighbors...

We have been here many times and really got to know the place as one of the most beautiful and highly recommended campsites in Germany. What has been made out of it by the new operator is, to put it mildly, a disgrace and an exclusion of all motorhome and caravan drivers. Beautiful pitches have turned into crammed motorhome camps that no camper can afford anymore. If someone does happen to stray there again, they will be charged heavily for the run-down sanitary facilities, etc., ensuring they definitely won't return. All the once well-functioning and cozy beer gardens, etc., were either closed or had severely reduced opening hours. Not to mention the lack of proper options to buy food on the site. In any case, we were there for the last time. I don’t think the change of operators has done the municipality of Pleinfeld any favors. The business tax will surely go down, and tourism at the once flourishing site will decline significantly. Such a shame.
