Burgstadt Camping Park

What a pretty spot.

And what a spectacularly nifty setting: within easy reach of a motorway, and handily placed for stopovers between Belgium, the Netherlands and the rest of Central Europe. The Rhein-Hunsrück site Burgstadt Camping Park is also less than a kilometre’s walk from the handsome medieval centre of Kastellaun. And, even more handily, right next door is a hotel with a Greek restaurant and beer garden for feasts and tipples, plus – get this – a Boeing 737 flight simulator for non-flying types.

There’s reams to explore in this region: for starters, the area’s dense network of hiking and cycling trails are a splendid way to get out and see the local countryside. If you’re after something a little more adventurous, an excursions operator in Kastellaun organises activities and days away around the region too.

Burgstadt Camping Park is peaceful nook in the grounds of the BurgStadt Hotel in Kastellaun; friendly owner Heiko has set the site in a laidback landscaped park. To keep things nice and relaxed, there’s no entertainment here – just plenty of lush greenery to roam among (or a gym to take things up a notch), and bikes to hire should you fancy getting out to explore the many cycle paths that crisscross the locale.

At the pitches, guests will find themselves with water taps, an electricity outlet and chemical disposal points; also at your disposal is a bathroom block with toilets and hot showers, as well as a laundry room. Also handily, free wifi is available.
