Been here?
This natural campsite lies in a wooded valley beside a stream, with meadow pitches, electricity and campfire areas. Recent comments mention excellent bread service and new shower containers, but too few showers and unmarked pitches. Mobile reception and WLAN are available only at the entrance. The approach is steep and narrow, and wet ground can become difficult for motorhomes.

Beautiful, natural campsite. Excellent bread-roll service. Unfortunately, too few showers for its size. The pitches on the meadow are not marked, making it somewhat chaotic. Mobile reception and Wi-Fi are available only at the entrance.
The location seems idyllic, directly beside a stream surrounded by trees in a valley. Unfortunately, the atmosphere at the site is more like a festival campsite. Especially in the front area, the pitches are packed tightly together. There is no privacy or idyll, as children use other people’s pitches to access the stream. Of course, the site cannot be blamed for inconsiderate parents.
We spent a weekend there. Wonderful nature. The pitches are not lined up next to one another. The sanitary facilities, including showers, appear to be new. They invested in shower containers that fully meet modern standards.
Rustic site. Ideal if you want to sit around a campfire with others in the evening, including for a digital detox. There is little or no mobile reception, but free Wi-Fi at the main building. Too few sanitary facilities, especially showers. No hot water at the washing-up area; using a kettle causes longer waits during busy periods. Child-friendly, although the playground could use some care. Verdict: too little for the price.
Good campsite, but very expensive for what you get. It cost €29 for one night with our camper, including two people and no electricity. You have to buy a €1.50 token for six minutes of hot water. The washing-up area also has only cold water. Few showers for the whole campsite, though enough toilets. The toilets at the front of the campsite are especially clean.
The access road is steep and narrow, making it difficult to pass large oncoming vehicles. Beautiful campsite with large pitches beside a stream. In wet weather, not all areas are driveable by camper because the ground becomes soft. In the evening all the campfire spots are lit and it is busy with children during high season.
Very beautiful, quiet, natural site. The toilets are unheated, which is very chilly at an outside temperature of 2°C. After rain, the pitches are barely accessible by motorhome. However, the owners are very helpful.
We had a lovely weekend there in 2024. From 2025, only a few communal campfire areas are permitted. Only two stars because we had to wait weeks for a cancellation refund. The sanitary arrangements are also not really well designed.
A beautiful, quiet site with large pitches and plenty of lovely old trees. The highlights are the pitches with fire pits, for which you can buy suitable wood. At night, it is worth looking up at the starry sky.
Great campsite in the middle of nature with excellent outdoor dining.
Great camping with bonfire spots and very spacious camp sites.
Lovely campsite, close to nature, with friendly operators. A beautiful place to start walks. Dogs are more than welcome. One downside: campers used bright lights to move around the site at dusk and in the evening, even though this is a place where you could see the stars because there is no light pollution. The sanitary facilities were cleaned several times a day.
