This campsite along the Sauer River in Bollendorf offers a scenic setting that appeals to families and outdoor enthusiasts, but its overall experience is markedly inconsistent. The location provides easy access to the river for swimming and floating in warm weather, and the surrounding area is excellent for hiking and cycling through German forests, with notable natural beauty and historical sites. The swimming pool is a major attraction, especially for children, who enjoy the slides and water activities. However, the campsite is compromised by persistent road noise from a busy main road that runs alongside it, disrupting the peace throughout the day. Pitches vary widely; some near the water are desirable but come with traffic sounds, while others in the back lack shade and become extremely hot. The sanitary facilities receive mixed reviews—some are renovated and clean, but many are outdated, insufficient for the number of guests, and poorly maintained, with toilets often missing paper and soap. Showers operate on a token system providing only five minutes of warm water, and hot water can run out during busy periods. The on-site shop is basic, and a bread delivery service visits each morning, but the restaurant and bar have been closed in recent years. Staff friendliness is uneven; while some visitors find the owners helpful, many report rude and overwhelmed management, particularly during peak season. The access road is narrow and challenging for larger vehicles, and congestion around the pool entrance adds to the difficulty. Electrical hookups are weak, causing fridges to run on gas and breakers to trip, and waste disposal is handled by placing bags at pitches rather than a central area. Despite these drawbacks, the campsite remains popular with families who prioritize pool fun and a riverside location, though it struggles to deliver on comfort, service, and value for money.
