  • Family-run touring site in Ansbach countryside, southern Bavaria
  • Altmühltal Panorama Trail and Dinkelsbühl both 20 minutes’ drive
  • Tavern, beer garden and breakfast service; dark-skies site
A quiet rural spot to lay your head. Excellent Bavarian dishes available right next to your pitch. Liking the sound of that? You should be thinking seriously about booking a stay at Zur Burgschänke Friedrichsthal, a small family-run site in the middle of Ansbach countryside with grass touring pitches, a restaurant and beer garden. The camping meadow is predominantly flat, with no set pitches so you can settle down in your favourite spot. Views extend over lovely countryside to the edge of the forest – gateway to scenic Bavarian hiking and cycling jaunts, and as there’s no light pollution, at night the skies dance with a starry display. There’s no need to fret about catering matters at all when you stay here, as there’s a breakfast service available – just be sure to put your order in the night before. The traditional tavern serves hearty local dishes and on warmer days there’s no better place to be than the romantic beer garden – both are open all day. Dogs are very welcome on your Bavarian getaway; the owners just ask that they stay on a leash around the site, and that the field be kept clean of waste for other campers.

What customers say

This campsite offers a peaceful natural setting with lovely views and plenty of space, ideal for cycling and walking. Guests praise the friendly hosts, delicious food at the on-site tavern, and the value for money. However, some reviews mention that the toilet and shower facilities are basic and could benefit from an update. While many found the site safe and welcoming, a few solo female travellers reported feeling unsafe. The site is considered a good stopover point, with potential for improvement.

Liked Spacious pitches
Close to beautiful scenery
Friendly staff

Disliked As described, lovely place to stay, the owners are wonderful, bring a touch and don’t expect much in the way that f wash facilities. Bring a bag for rubbish, try the food, it’s amazing, take a walk in the countryside. If you have a mobile home and arrive with water, you’ll be fine. We left our at home so probably couldn’t have stayed there comfortably for more than a night but only due to the wash facilities. Honestly, lovely little site. There was live music the night we stayed, authentic German music, absolutely fantastic.

Liked The view was lovely plenty of space.

Disliked No one there to book in with the toilets and shower's were not usable lucky that we have a shower and toilet in the van, no Internet and if you want electric hook up you need a very long cable, it is ok for a 1 night stay.

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Lugn och rofylld plats, med trevliga med gäster. Prisvärd och en räddare i nöden när vi åkte utan att förboka campingplats under högsäsongen. Ganska plan mark vilket underlättar. Hundvänligt. Tillgång till el. Stället har stor potential om lite uppgraderingar sker och lite mer mark-/trädgårdsvård utförs 👍🏼

Disliked Låg standard på saniteten, men fullt fungerande och OK för oss.

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Rust en uitzicht is echt bijzonder op deze camping. Mooie fiets en wandelmogelijkheden vlakbij de camping. Ook het restaurant nabij de camperplaats serveert een kleine kaart maar goed en redelijk geprijsd.

Disliked De faciliteiten en de gebouwen ogen op het eerste gezicht rommelig en slecht onderhouden. Maar als je daar doorheen kunt kijken een prachtige plek!

Local attractions

Walkers can set out on the photogenic, long-distance Altmühltal Panorama Trail (20 minutes’s drive) along the Altmühl River through gorgeous countryside scattered with bizarre rock formations. Wait for a clear day to hike up the slopes of Hesselberg (15 minutes); from the top you can sometimes spot the Alps, over 90 miles away. Visit the cute town of Dinkelsbühl (20 minutes) to check out the coloured, gabled houses in its historic centre, or travel back in time to see how ancient Roman soldiers lived at LIMESEUM and Römerpark Ruffenhofen (also 20 minutes), which has a scale model of a wooden fort and artefacts found locally in an interactive museum. Kids with you? Introduce them to the history of Bavaria at Altmühltal Valley Archaeological Park (20 minutes), an open-air museum bringing the region’s history to life using reconstructed Celtic settlements and wooden farmhouses. When they’ve had enough of culture, make for the sandy lakeside beach at Seezentrum Wald Altmühlsee (also 20 minutes), or take them to Wille Kinderzoo (15 minutes) to feed the elephants and cuddle the miniature ponies.
