Zero information
On arrival at Rudesheim, we were expected having reserved in advance but given zero information about the site, its facilities or anything in the area.
So we had to explore and find the motor home service point, as well as the showers. One toilet block has no showers at all, only toilets and wash basins, so the only showers are in the block near the entrance. Kept pretty clean but could be a bit overwhelmed if the site was full and quite a long hike from the end of the site where we were - near the ruins of the Hindenburg Bridge.
We never used the 'kiosk' - we weren't given any information about it, otherwise we might have done. There's actually a gate which leads directly from this area onto the path by the river, which we found half way through the week. Again, no information. It would help if there was a gate at the Hindenburg Bridge end of the site - from our pitch it took 10 minutes to walk to the main gate and then back up the lane to arrive on the other side of the fence from where we started.
As others have commented, you have to get a member of staff to plug you in an unplug you from the electricity supply, which wasn't a problem on arrival or when leaving. No idea whether site staff speak English or not - I spoke to them in German so it wasn't a problem.
The pitches are not marked in any way and some units looked as if they were very close to others.
Aldi, Lidl, Pennymarkt and other stores are very close to the site but you have to find them yourself, of course.
Rudesheim is very touristy but there are some fun things to do - the ring tour for 20 Euros is great. You take the cable car up to the Niederwalddenkmal (worth the cable car alone for the views), walk 3km through the woods, then take the chairlift down to Assmannshausen and return to Rudesheim by river boat. Takes half a day easily. A visit to St Hildegard's Abbey is also well worth it - we took the cable car up the hill, walked along the ridge to the abbey and then walked back down into the town.
The open air swimming pool next to the site was great but costs 5 euro entry.
Got badly bitten by midges at night - take precautions if the little critters like you!
We stayed a full week but four nights would have been enough.
