  • 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.

Great site with spacious spots & friendly staff. Nice canals/cycle paths. Good for families/dogs. Can be pricey with extra charges for hot water/showers. Some check-in issues & noise.

Liked Freie Platzwahl fand ich gut. Wir standen direkt am Spielplatz und hatten die Kinder immer im Blick. Gut war auch der Biergarten und der kleine Zoo mit Ziegen und Eseln. Auch die Gegend mit den Kanälen und Radwegen waren sehr interessant.

Power optional grass site

Liked Ein sehr schön und ruhig gelegener Platz. Werden ihn auf jeden Fall wieder ansteuern.

Disliked Leider fehlt eine Möglichkeit sich bei heißen Wetter (welches wir hatten) ein wenig ab kühlen zu können. Gerade für die Kinder! Ja der Kanal ist nur wenige Gehminuten entfernt aber abgesehen davon daß es wenn überhaupt nur geduldet ist dort zu schwimmen für Kinder einfach zu gefährlich ist mit dem Schiffverkehr. In dem toten Arm des Kanals fahren zwar keine Schiffe aber dort gibt es auch keinen wirklichen Zugang für Kinder zum Wasser und es wird direkt wie im Kanal üblich schnell tief.

Power optional grass site

Liked We had a misunderstanding with our pitch (my fault) but the owner put it right immediately even on a busy weekend. The bathrooms are palatial, clean, warm and generously sized. Use the WeWash app for laundry, it's so easy and saves time checking if the machine is finished. The food in the restaurant was delicious traditional German and the atmosphere in the beergarten was welcoming. The pool was nice enough but a bit deep for our small kids. It would be nice after using the steam room.
Cycle routes are rough track but nice to take a trip around the local villages.

Liked The location was good, plenty of choice of pitch. Thought the porter loos dotted about are a great idea.
Easy check in with the most laid back chap I've ever met.
The facilities are good and worth the €1 or €2 cost depending on which showers you use. I splashed out the €2 on the family showers which were great value.

Disliked Very large site which did fill up.
The bar /restaurant wasn't great rude and very abrupt staff.

Liked Location was good, nice area to explore. The site manager is very laid back but very helpful. Entertainment was good fun.
Level pitch and plenty of room.

Disliked Paying for showers…and washing machines are very old. Lady in the bar wouldn’t give any change and sometimes the site manager wasn’t available because he was recovering from the night before.
It is a turn up and find your own pitch place which is sometimes difficult with a bigger motorhome as stated on booking forms.

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).
