Third stop on way to Austria

Stayed here for 4 nights in June after leaving Blankenheim. No problems getting onto site which is a ten minute walk into town where there are lots of restaurants. Site had been closed the week before due to Rhine bursting its banks but there wasn't much mess on the pitches which was good. Motorhome/camper vans seemed to be more closely packed than caravan/awning combinations. Facilities were really good with excellent toilet and shower blocks. Supermarkets five minute walk away. Took train to Koblenz to see castles on Rhine. Also took cable car from Rudesheim up to the Niederwald Monument and then back down on another cable car to take the ferry back up river to the town centre. Site is next to ruins of Hindenburg bridge. Would recommend.

Fabulous Site

We stayed on this site for 2 nights. Our pitch was by the waters edge at the end of the site. Very clean toilets and showers. Lovely short walk past river cruise boats into town. Short walk/cycle to supermarkets.

Wonderful if you get the right pitch

We have been very lucky to have been able to choose a spacious caravan pitch right by the river with lovely views of ducks and cruise ships passing by. We paid an extra 4 euros a night for on pitch water and drainage. Why does the Club not advertise these and allow you to book them? We would have been less delighted if we’d been pitched 4 or 5 rows back in an orderly but undefined grid of mainly motorhome pitches. This might explain the variable reviews that this site gets. Those are ok for a stopover as are the dedicated motorhome pitches by the entrance. Information on access from either the Club or the site website is dangerously lacking. Satnav will try and take you under a railway bridge where the road is so steep you’ll probably ground a caravan. You need to go under the next bridge and approach from the east along a very narrow lane with passing places. Follow signs for Wasserschutz Polizei, take a deep breath then turn right along Kastenienallee. Also not explicit is that the vehicle ferry from Bingen is quite big enough for caravans. No opening times for anything on either website. Reception closes from 11am until 1:15pm so avoid queuing at the entrance. Everything else is great. Beautiful clean washrooms, friendly family owners. Unfortunately the recent floods have closed the next door swimming pool. We are watching the clean up progressing as the weather warms up! Easy walk into town along the river. Very popular with cruise ships. Both day trip operators run the same choice of river trips. Lidl and Aldi 5 minutes away but booze choice poor in both. Splash out and buy a nice Riesling from the campsite kiosk for only 8 euros. Nearby castles are up steep hills from the riverside and mainly 19th century reconstructions. We drove an hour downriver to visit the amazing Marksburg

Wonderful campsite!

Booked through CMHC and smooth check in and set up on pitch. Immaculate facilities and what a location! By the side of the Rhine and fascinating watching the comings and goings of the river cruisers. Birdlife interesting with cormorants and Egyptian geese with their chicks on the bank. 15 minute walk to town with a lovely, reasonably priced outside bar on the way. Took the boat/chair lift/walk/cable car Ring Tour with castle visit (€22pp) and it was excellent-helped the weather was good! Supermarkets in walking distance of site. Only stayed 2 nights-wish we'd had longer.

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.

Excellent disabled shower and toilet

We stayed for 3 nights in September 2022. As we had prepaid, there was only the local tourist tax to pay on arrival. Reception staff spoke good English. We had taken a small pitch which was not clearly defined but was adequate for our camper. A key is needed for the disabled facilities for which a refundable deposit is required. The facilities were easily accessed, spacious, modern and spotless. My only complaint was a broken chair which posed an accident risk but was not removed \ fixed despite being reported on our first day. As other reviews have highlighted the site is ideally placed for visiting the town and accessing Rhine cruises; Niederwald Monument etc. A four hour cruise to Sankt Goar (Loreley) was only €15 each for over 60s. There is plenty to do and see in the local area for a couple of week’s holiday if not touring. The WiFi is only a hotspot at reception and not very reliable even there. I took the A61 down from the Dutch border to Bingen then crossed on the Bingen \ Rüdesheim ferry (€8.50 for our small camper.) We would definitely use the site again.

Great site within walking distance of Rüdesheim am Rhine

Stayed here in May 2019 and arrived on the May Day holiday and the town and the site was busy,but was met at reception by the good English speaking warden who offered us a spacious pitch with water electric and grey disposal. The site has a nice ambience,was clean and there was a shop/bakery and a nice bar area overlooking the Rhine. There were two toilet blocks,one of which had no showers. The toilets,showers were spotless and of a high standard. The warden seemed to be omnipresent to answer any questions. The electricity supply has to be attached by one of the site staff the connection being in a locked cabinet so if you need to leave very early in the morning make arrangements so that your cable can be unlocked. The site is next to a large open air pool with high diving board and seating. The site is perfectly located by the river Rhine,and the 2 klm walk into Rüdesheim is along two wide,parallel paths/bike paths,that pass the Rhine boat trip offices and the many cruise ships that visit the town. The path is flat and offers great views of the river. Rüdesheim is a very pretty town,famous for wine production. There are many souvenir shops on the Rhine frontage and many lively cafes,bars and restraunts,as well as quiet corners,museums and there is a tourist office which was very helpful. The cable car from Rüdesheim takes you over the wine fields to the Niederwald Denkmalpflege,a large statue built to commemorate the Prussian victories of 1870/71 and German unification. From here a pleasant walk brings you to a second cable car which takes you down to the village of assmannhausen. You can buy a Rüdesheim “ ring” ticket that allows use of both cable cars and returning to Rüdesheim via one of the many Rhine ferries. You can catch a ferry to Bingen opposite Rüdesheim and another ferry later to Rüdesheim using the Ring ticket. There are several Rhine cruises available from Rüdesheim that take you on a tour to see the many castles on the Rhine banks. There is a 4 to 5 hour tour that takes you to the Lorely rock passing Bacharach town. Other trips take you further to Mainz and Coblenz. There is a lovely convent above Rüdesheim accessed by a pleasant but sometimes steep walk through the vineyards. A charge is paid to go inside the convent but outside there is a gift shop and cafe with fantastic views of Rüdesheim and the river.

Lovely site close to town and next to an outdoor swimming pool complex

We stayed here in August 2018. The pitches weren't separated by hedges et,c as they are in a lot of European sites, but we had plenty of space for our outfit. The toilet blocks are among the best I have seen in Europe. The site has a small shop, bar and restaurant. There are several supermarkets within walking distance, and the lovely town is within walking distance. Next to the site is an outdoor swimming pool complex with a small slide and some diving boards, plus table tennis and volley ball and a cafe. It is not expensive to enter.

Good location but cramped site

The site is a 15 minute walk along the Rhine to Rudesheim which is a very pretty town with lots to do. The location is great with easy access to Rhine day cruises. However, the site is chaotic in terms of pitches. Vans and tents are squeezed in, pitches are not marked out and some vans and tents are literally within touching distance of eachother. I have never, ever seen such close proximity, a definite fire hazard and I am surprised that the Club recommends this site. Walking across to the shower blocks is also a hazard as guy ropes are everywhere. The toilet blocks are modern and very clean, which is a bonus. Pitches looking on to the Rhine, we were told, are only for clients who are staying a fortnight. We stayed for 6 nights in July 2018
