    Small, clean campsite, situated by a small stream, somewhere in the middle of nowhere. In the middle of corn fields and meadows. Ideal for stopovers. Pure nature. A riding stable is directly opposite. There is even an Icelandic horse farm nearby. There is a small beer garden in front of the reception with delicious pizza and tarte flambée. There is a (somewhat unkempt) playground for children. The Welsheim outdoor pool is right next door. The village of Welsheim with its restaurant is a 5-minute walk away. Ideal starting point for the European cultural park.

    Kleiner, sauberer Campingplatz, an einem kleinen Bach gelegen, irgendwo im nirgendwo. Inmitten Mais-Feldern und Wiesen. Ideal für Zwischenstopps. Natur pur. Ein Reiterhof ist direkt gegenüber. In der Nähe gibt es sogar eine Islandpferdezucht. Vor der Rezeption gibt es einen kleinen Biergarten mit leckerer Pizza und Flammkuchen. Für Kinder gibt es einen (etwas ungepflegten) Spielplatz. Direkt nebenan das Freibad von Welsheim. Die Ortschaft Welsheim mit Restaurant ist in 5min Fußmarsch zu erreichen. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für den europäischen Kulturpark.

    We love it! The peace and quiet is unsurpassable. The location right by the swimming pool was our salvation in the heat. The direct proximity to France and the many Dutch guests at the campsite give it a real international flair. Thanks to the operators for their good work and making us feel welcome 👍

Danke an die Betreiber für eure gute Arbeit und das Gefühl, willkommen zu sein 👍
