Friendly staff

The reception staff were very friendly and spoke good English. There are good facilities for families and the shower block was very clean. The pitch was a good size and level. Meals in the restaurant looked good and were reasonably priced. Downside was that due to the weather the pitch was very muddy but as we were only staying for one night this was not really a problem but could have been if staying longer and had children with us.

Alright for a one night stop

Very large campsite plenty to do for families if you like all the activities they have organised. Pitch was very good size for our motorhome. Staff very friendly and helpful. Road to camp site very steep for walking and although there was a route through the woods to the town it was a rather hard going. We did manage to catch a bus once you got to the main road into the town but stood for an hour waiting for it, staff were not to sure of the times. You definitely need transport to get anywhere from the site.

One night only

Large busy site, dominated by statics. If you like sloping grass pitches that bit too steep for the average camper van ramps, lots of noise inc loud radio in the wash block, power units helpfully guarded by stinging nettles, then this will suit you. Otherwise, only fit for a stopover. Plus points, nice pizza from snack outlet, and wifi was free and did not drop out, unlike paid-for service we found elsewhere on our travels.

First night stop over

This was our first nights stop over on our way to the Monaco F1. The site is quite large and spread out over a large wooded area, since we last visited three years ago a large part of the site seems to have been taken over by static caravans. The young female receptionist had a good command of the English language and was quite helpful. There is a large covered pool and plenty to do for the kids so if you want quite go somewhere else. The main important things were all OK though, the facilities were clean and tidy, there is a restaurant and bar (which we did not use), the segregated pitches are spacious and on the whole level. We walked down to the local village through the forest edge and found several good bars and restaurants. Down being the operative word as its all up hill on the way back. If like us you need somewhere to stay over to break a long journey, we were heading off for a couple of nights in Switzerland then Lugano on our way to Monaco, it is more than adequate. But having no kids a longer stay would possibly be a pain. So as with other reviews I've done, would we go again - as a transit stop yes for more than two nights probably not.

We won't be back.

We stopped here for 2 nights on our way to Germany at the start of August and again for 2 nights on the way back at the end of August. The site was very busy and very noisy; when we arrived late afternoon it was difficult to hear anything in reception due to the noise coming from the outside stage area. The noise continued on our pitch at the rear of the site but did stop around 10:30. There was still a lot of noise from people moving around and kids on scooters and hard wheeled bikes. WiFi was free but did not work on the pitch on our first visit but did on the second as it looked like there were new masts around the site. During our stay the bins were full to overflowing and there was a lot of litter on vacated pitches. On our last morning we were approached by a British couple asking when we would leave as we were on their pitch, they had spent the previous night in an overflow area as the site was full, as we were leaving about 11 a.m. they were approaching the pitch which caused problems for two large outfits trying to pass on the very narrow access roads.

Not your average CC site

Got to Birkelt from Rudesheim in Germany amidst dreadful weather to find the site access roads mini streams and the pitch waterlogged! Amazed at how quckly the water drained away and from then on it was pretty good, each time it rained (there were a few minutes between each passing shower) the pond outside our awning filled, only to drain away once more. When the weather improved on the second day we ventured into the pretty and quiet Larochette via the short (but very steep) path to catch the bus (2€ each way) into Luxembourg City which was surprisingly interesting, so much so that we did the same thing the next day rather than driving to Trier as planned. We therefore didn't have much time to test the facilities at the site and regretfully didn't get a swim in the pool. However we did have a couple of meals in the restaurant which (apart from the stale pizza base) were pretty good and the staff genial and accomodating. Settling in for a couple of beers from the shop (0.79€!) we did however enjoy the peace and quiet of an evening, finishing off in the clean and extensive toilet block but which, as in Rudesheim, had no sink plugs. Showers were timed which was irritating and hot water non-existent for an early riser such as I so black mark there but overall I would return not just for the superb setting and lovely walks around the site but for a swim and another few beers in front of the awning (weather permitting of course).

Recent Stay

Stopped at this site 14 - 17 September, the site is simply huge, I accept we stayed here in September in some rainy weather, but the pitches were a cross between sand and grit which simply got everywhere, the grass on the pitch was totally worn away, despite paying for a Super Pitch we were never given one and had to climb over other peoples pitches to put the electric in - it was a good job we had a long electric lead, WIFI does not work in the caravan, but works fine in the bar area, and by the number sat there with differing devices it is fair to assume coverage over the site is poor. The site served it's purpose to allow us to tour the area, but fell short on the condition of the pitch

Booking Fee Beware

Stayed here Sept 2015. Very annoyed to find a 20 euro booking fee (why?) added when at checkout. This is when you book directly. Reserving through Caravan Club would have been cheaper but you have to book at least 3 days in advance and we were unable to do this. Consequently this is the most expensive site we've ever stayed at and therefore in comparison to others it was a rip-off. The toilet facilities were clean but dated, the pitches untidy and if you have a dog I would say the general message is they are "tolerated" but not necessarily welcome.

Camping Birkelt

Loved this site although only there 1 night. Very friendly welcome, nice restaurant and great balance between lively and civilised. Would be superb for a family with kids. Highly recommended.

Good quality site

This site is very popular with lots of companies because it offers lots of facilities. It is huge but each area seems self contained. The pitches are large and there is good shade. There are childrens' play areas all around the site. The restaurant however is unimaginative and yet quite expensive. The pool is good and is reserved for lane swimming from 10 to 11 each morning which I enjoyed.
