  • Simple, quiet pitches in the grounds of a Black Forest country house
  • In Hotzenwald; 20 minutes' drive to the Rhine river and Swiss border
  • Wildlife haven in a good location for waterfall walks or winter sports
What a gorgeous setting for an outdoor break… the pitches at Schwarzwald Escape are in the grounds of a country house on the edge of the village of Rotzingen. As the name suggests, this site is in the Black Forest, so you can expect to be surrounded by lovely old trees when you stay here – and quite probably spot plenty of wildlife as well. It’s a very peaceful, rural and secluded spot with simple pitches that have access to basic facilities including toilets, picnic tables and a launderette. The town of Görwihl is about five minutes’ drive away for shops and the like, and the Rhine river (which marks the Swiss border) is 20 minutes away. You may well feel like you’re hidden away in the heart of the forest, but in fact you’ll be well located for all sorts of outings including hikes (especially waterfall walks), cycling, golf and toboggan runs in summer and downhill or cross-country skiing in the winter months.

Liked Nur Lage

Disliked Enttäuschende Erfahrung – nicht empfehlenswert

Wir waren sehr überrascht. Auf dem Foto (ersten) sah es nach einem wunderschönen, sonnigen Feld aus – genau so, wie wir es uns vorgestellt hatten, um dort unser Zelt aufzuschlagen.In Wirklichkeit handelte es sich jedoch um einen dunklen Platz direkt neben einer Fahrstraße – kein Ort, an dem man sich sicher fühlt.

Noch merkwürdiger war der Empfang: Es gab keine Möglichkeit zur Anmeldung. Wir klingelten an der Tür, und ein Mann sprach nur kurz über die Gegensprechanlage mit uns – kein herzliches Willkommen, keine Erklärung, wo sich was befindet. Uns wurde einfach gesagt: „Stellen Sie das Zelt irgendwo hin ... Tschüss.“
Ich verstehe, dass jemand beschäftigt sein kann, aber es hieß: „Ich komme gleich, ich komme später zu Ihnen und zeige alles.“ Doch das passierte nie.

Wir fühlten uns weder willkommen noch betreut. Die sanitären Anlagen konnten wir nicht finden – niemand war da, um uns irgendetwas zu zeigen oder zu erklären.

Besonders enttäuschend war, dass dieses Campingplatz so viele gute Bewertungen hat – das entspricht überhaupt nicht unserem Erlebnis. Wir mussten schnell nach einer Alternative suchen und haben zum Glück nur 30 Minuten entfernt ein neues Plätzchen gefunden. Dort wurden wir freundlich empfangen, man hat uns alles gezeigt und dreimal gefragt, ob wir noch etwas brauchen – ganz anders als hier.

Fazit: Wir können diesen Ort leider nicht empfehlen, vor allem nicht für Familien mit Kindern. Keine Gastfreundschaft, kein Service – und insgesamt einfach keine gute Erfahrung.

Liked Great location, we stopped briefly on our way to Italy, but would have happily stayed longer. Toilets were nice and clean, and the family were nice and welcoming.

Disliked Shower would have been nice, but we knew there was not one and were prepared

Non-electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked Tolle Umgebung in den Bergen. Ein paar Hühnchen und Gänse waren auch auf dem Hof. Guter Rasenplatz für ein Zelt sprich guter Untergrund. Der Besitzer ist sehr zuvorkommend und war trotz später Ankunft sehr hilfsbereit. Für alle die lieber auf einer privaten Wiese statt eines großen Campingplatzes übernachten. Es gibt auch Gästezimmer im Haus.

Liked Super bel endroit ! Bien que l'on soit arrivé tard, on a trouvé assez facilement où planter notre tente. Les hôtes sont très accueillants et gentils, je recommande beaucoup ce gîte pour des nuits dans la nature.

Liked Sehr nette Gastgeber, die vor ein paar Monaten ein schönes altes Haus gekauft haben und es liebevoll ausbauen.
Im großen Vorgarten können bis drei Wohnwägen, Wohnmobile oder Zelte unter einem riesigen Baum campen.

Es ist sehr ruhig und idyllisch. Kühe, Hühner, Hunde und Katzen machen die Umgebung perfekt.

Toiletten sind sehr sauber. Dusche gibt es keine, aber das weiß man vorher.

Sehr empfehlenswert! Wir würden wieder kommen.

Liked It was mostly quiet, and the couple running it were lovely and helpful.

Disliked Right by a main road loud as of 6am. Had to pay in order to use a bathroom.

Local attractions

Bring your walking shoes along, because there are lots of fantastic trails to follow around this area. Some of the real highlights are water-based, as this region is well known for its waterfalls, like Höllbachwasserfall (10 minutes’ drive) and Todtnauer waterfalls (40 minutes). There’s also the option of following the Kulturwanderweg Estelberg (15 minutes), marked by information boards introducing the area and its people. Sticking to the outdoor activities, you might like to visit the cute residents of Hotzenwald-Alpaka (five minutes), play a round at Golfclub Rickenbach (15 minutes) or climb the 90 steps of the Gugelturm observation tower (15 minutes) for fabulous views across the forest. If the weather isn’t so good, step inside one of the Black Forest’s oldest houses at Freilichtmuseum Klausenhof (10 minutes), walk among tanks, guns and military memorabilia at Swiss Military Museum Full (35 minutes), or head underground to see the stalactites at Erdmannshöhle (half an hour).
