This campsite sits in a beautiful location directly on the River Lahn, with scenic views and proximity to the charming town of Bad Ems, known for its thermal springs and UNESCO World Heritage status. The terrain is a grassy field with trees, offering space and tranquility, but noise from a nearby road and railway line is a persistent issue. The site is run by an elderly couple; the owner can seem grumpy and unfriendly due to his recovery from a stroke. The swimming pool has been empty for years, the restaurant and shop are permanently closed, and no bread or baked goods are available. Sanitary facilities are clean in some years but suffer from broken lighting and lack of hot water for dishwashing in others. Showers require tokens, which some find inconvenient. Wi-Fi is absent, and mobile reception may be limited. The price is considered high for the amenities offered, though it is the second cheapest along the Lahn. The campsite was nearly empty in 2021, with mostly German guests. In 2022, the grounds were poorly maintained and cluttered, though cleanliness of toilets and showers was a redeeming feature. By 2024, there is no reception upon arrival, causing confusion, and staff appear uninterested and unhelpful. Check-out is not allowed until 9:00 AM, which is inconvenient for travelers. Overall, the campsite has significantly deteriorated over the years and fails to meet basic expectations for modern camping, though the scenic riverside location remains a notable draw.
