  • 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.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked We recently spent two nights and rated our experience an **8 out of 10**.

This campsite definitely has an **old-school charm** to it. It was incredibly clean, which is always a top priority for us. The showers were spotless, though do note they operate with €1 coins, so come prepared! We also didn't spot any readily available residual waste containers, which was a minor inconvenience.

However, where this campsite truly shines is its **dog and child-friendly** atmosphere. It's a great spot if you're traveling with furry friends and little ones.

Overall, a solid choice for a no-frills, clean, and welcoming camping experience!

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Big field.
The only facility we did use was the toilets which were clean

Disliked Everything is extra. I know some sites charge extra for showers but I have never stayed on a site where you pay for hot water to wash your dishes!
You need to visit an amusement arcade to get plenty of euro coins to pay for everything.
Check in says anytime but when we arrived the reception was closed! There was a staff member in the shop/bar and she directed me upstairs to the reception which I went to only to find notice on door says closed between 1 and 3 every day. So she knew it was closed but still sent me up there.
We were only staying for one night and when I went to shower the next morning they were cleaning the showers so never used them.
I think the site is expensive for use of a field and a chemical toilet. I have stayed on Stellplatz with more facilities and much cheaper.

Liked What a great site, fantastic staff, very friendly and helpful. All in all a great site.

Great place for a family. There was a petting park for the kids swings etc. Canals are just along the road so great for people who like water sports.

Disliked just make sure you bring lots of Euros for the shower 1 euros for a duche. 2 for a family although they do have family shower rooms.

Liked Unkomplizierte Buchung und familiengeführter Betrieb. Dauercamper Areal, Zeltwiese und Wohnwagen und Wohnmobilstellplätze. Restaurant mit Hausmannskost und vor allem Abseits von Straßen und Verkehr gelegen.Duschen und Warmwasser gegen Münzeinwurf, hilft wiederum beim Energie sparen und Preise unten halten. Danke an das Orga-Team der Silvesterfeier, sie hatten viel zu tun, trotz vollem Saal und Zelte wurde lecker hausgemachtes Essen und frisch gezapfte Getränke serviert und DJ und Unterhaltungsprogramm durch Miss Lili geboten. Auch unser Wunsch zur Mitnahme unserer Hündin wurde berücksichtigt. Die Speisekarte bietet Schnitzel, Nudeln, Salat, Pommes. Das reicht und wird von Jutta immer lecker frisch gekocht.

Disliked Wir waren über Silvester hier, das Wetter war nordisch kühl und regnerisch windig. Das ist aber nicht negativ gemeint und als richtiger Camper gibt es kein Schlechtes Wetter.

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.

Electric optional grass pitch

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.

From the manager: Hallo,
danke für deine Bewertung.
Am Abreisetag haben wir uns einmal kurz über die unangenehme Situation unterhalten, nachdem ihr die geplante Heimreise angetreten habt.
Um kurz die Gegebenheiten noch einmal vorzuholen:
Diesen Sommer haben wir wegen der EM eine Vielzahl an ausländischen Gästen bei uns beherbergt.
Viele kamen aus England oder Holland.
Da gab es nie Probleme.
Wegen der Sprachbarriere zwischen dem Gast s.u. und unserem Mitarbeiter kam es anscheinend zu einem Missverständnis.
Der Mitarbeiter von dem wir sprechen, ist selber auch aus Tunesien.
Denke einen rechten Hintergrund hatte die Auseinandersetzung nicht.
Hoffe wir können uns in Zukunft weiterhin so gut um unsere Gäste aus dem Ausland kümmern.
Denke nicht, dass wir diskriminierend sind.
Team Klaukenhof

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).
