Around the site

  • Relaxed, family-friendly holiday park next to the Wesel-Datteln Canal
  • A half-hour drive to Dortmund; 45 minutes to Münster
  • Restaurant, petting zoo, sports courts and an amusement park on site
Comfort, space, service and plenty of relaxation… that’s camping at Freizeitpark Klaukenhof, set near Datteln in the north-eastern Ruhr. This spot is particularly popular as an overnight stop for cyclists and walkers exploring the flat, watery landscapes of the Münsterland region. As well as accommodating active types on short stays, this is a firmly family-friendly holiday park with masses of stuff to do on longer breaks – the kids will likely want to let off steam at the adventure playground with sandpits for toddlers and numerous slides, swings and climbing frames for older kids. Challenge sporty offspring to games of soccer or beach volleyball, or let them try their hand at go-karting or skateboarding. Any animal-mad youngsters can head for the petting zoo to cuddle rabbits, goats and the friendly donkey Grisella, visit the pony paddock and spot wild deer grazing in the field next door. Truly there should never be a dull moment for kids here. Adults will be able to chill out too, as pitches are spacious and the shower block spotless. Food and drink concerns are all taken care of as well – with a country-inn-style restaurant and alfresco summer terrace serving up barbecue goodies by a tree-shaded pond. And in the evening, you'll be able to sink a stein or two of local brew in the beer garden.

Liked: Cleanliness and friendly staff. The showers are €1 each and last 4 minutes. They are lovely and warm. The manager was very professional and helpful.

Disliked: The cleaning lady was aggressive and rude when I was filling the motor home water from the fresh water tap as directed by the manager.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Decently sized pitches. Electricity stations. Very clean toilets. Nice playground.

Disliked: Racist and discriminatory staff. Outwardly expressing hate speech for certain ethnicities. The actual man who owned the place (blonde hair, knows the best English) was quite lovely but his staff (his family(?)) are extremely rude and unkind. Very uncomfortable to be around. Keep your children away from them as they scream and yell inches from your face and such. Not pleasant! Washing machines expensive to use too.

Barney B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Space to pitch a long vehicle. I think the wash rooms and facilities looked decent, once we were able to find them. Paying coins into a machine for the showers was a bit of a pain. It looked like there were plenty of things for children to do near the main facilities.

Disliked: Strange system - nobody in the office was interested in when we arrived, nor telling us anything about the site. We had to find the facilities and everything else ourselves. No bins in the lower field. The camping fields are very open - anyone could just turn up and camp - no security. Vehicles were arriving throughout the night - we assume they were attending an all night party that was going on. Quite a strange place really and not one we felt comfortable in.

Local attractions

The riverside Roman-Lippe Route bike path goes right past the campsite on its way through the Ruhr to the River Rhine, and there are easy family rides and strolls along the Wesel-Datteln Canal towpath to its major junction with the Dortmund-Ems Canal (20 minutes’ walk). Add a bit of culture into the mix with waterside walks in the gardens and guided tours of the Baroque-era Nordkirchen Palace (20 minutes’ drive). The lovely city of Münster (45 minutes) rewards a day trip with gorgeous gabled architecture around the Prinzipalmarkt central square, and 800 works of art by Picasso in his namesake art museum. Once an industrial centre, the lively city of Dortmund (half an hour) has reinvented itself as a cultural hotspot, with art museums, a zoo and classical performances at the modern concert hall. At the end of a day exploring, grab a glass of chilled wine in an alfresco Alter Markt café. You can mug up more on the industrial heritage of the Ruhr district with a visit to the Henrichenburg Boat Lift in neighbouring Waltrop (15 minutes).
