Please do not think this is a negative review, it isn't, but the campsite is in dire need of refurbishment. Firstly it is all about the location, and the family owners know it. They can fill the campsite nearly all year around. Staufen the small town, 1k walk away is beautiful, the walk/cycle network on the doorstep is brilliant, the river, the swimming pool on the other side is good and free with campsite booking, rail and tram is free with the campsite booking too. But the facilities are old, and not being repaired. The shower/toilets were very dated, the extractors did not work, some shower doors were only just working, shower heads missing, all was a bit of a shock for such a brilliant location. The site needs to close for a season and get fully modernised. Pitches were very close together, and worn, electric points worked but were old, grey water drainage blocked.
We had a good 10 day holiday, our dog is blind, so we could walk for miles with her in her stroller, or easily into town, where we had some gorgeous meals.Quite a bit of road noise, and the electric tram went past every hour, but you get used to it.
There is another campsite 3k further on up the valley, with fenced off pitches and a lovely restraunt, maybe next time we will use that. I used to be a campsite warden, and tend to look at things from that perspective, as well as a paying customer. As a warden, I would have been ashamed of the facilities. But, it was all about location. Hopefully the site will get modernised.
