In the 1990s, this was an alternative to the swimming pool opposite. It even had a slide, walkways, and a kiosk (it's on a hillside; the foundations are still visible today). The Eichberg, a lawn for sunbathing, and the man-made sandy beach are still inviting for swimming.

Small bathing area with adjacent well-kept lawn. Definitely a nice destination on warm summer days😊

Very nice and above all quiet campsite. The operators are super friendly and helpful. The food on offer is small but nice. The sanitary facilities are clean and well maintained. I also like the spatial separation between the "normal" and the cyclists with tents. Simply great. A little tip: Make sure you take cash with you, as the EC machine has a mind of its own and only works when it wants to.

Prohibition signs everywhere. The entrance was a "pig pen." I thought I was entering a fortress. 17.50 for an overnight stay, 2.50 to charge the battery. The fact that a French flag hung next to the German flag couldn't disguise the xenophobia of the owner. Non-campers weren't allowed to go to the lake and weren't given any drinks. I decided to spend another 10 euros and travel 10 kilometers and get a room at the Kutscherhof in Broock, wishing the owner much success with her fortress.

Long stretch of beach with a sandy beach and few mosquitos. The water is pretty shallow. You probably have the opportunity to grill.
