  • Dog-friendly site on Wiesensee lake, in the Westerwald region
  • Westerburg five minutes’ drive; Koblenz 55 minutes
  • Restaurant and launderette; a five-minute-walk from a golf course
A German holiday on the banks of a forest-fringed lake? Go on, then… Wiesensee Camping is a quiet, family-friendly site right on the reservoir of the same name, in the lush setting of the Westerwald region, in the west of the country. This is a pretty spectacular area in terms of hikes and other outdoor pursuits. Obviously, the proximity to the lake is one of the site’s key benefits: picture yourself stumbling out of your accommodation in the morning, and being within spitting distance of its waters, whether you want to go for a refreshing swim, launch your paddleboard or hire a pedal boat. If you prefer non-water-based activities, the 18-hole course of Golf Club Wiesensee is a five-minute walk from the site. Travelling with your faithful four-legged companion? Oh, there are some excellent treats in store for you (and them), including them being able to swim with you in the lake (head to the beach at Pottum, on the north-eastern corner of the lake) and occasional relaxed training workshops. The site has a playground and a TV room, plus amenities such as a launderette (and a drying room), a well-maintained toilet and shower block (including facilities for disabled guests) and a washing-up area. There’s also a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating and a beer garden, and more dining establishments can be found on the banks of the lake or in the nearby towns of Pottum and Westerburg (both five minutes’ drive).

What customers say

Lovely, well-kept site with friendly staff. Beautiful walks, though weekend noise and overcrowding noted. Drained lake a real bummer. Restaurant reviews mixed.

Liked Mooi net grasveld en vriendelijke beheerder. Thomas doet erg zijn best.

Disliked Helaas was tijdens ons verblijf de camping zwaar overboekt. De beheerder was constant bezig met campers, caravans en tenten dichter op elkaar te zetten om zo veel mogelijk mensen een plek te kunnen geven. Ook als je al een dag staat kan je vriendelijk gevraagd worden te verplaatsen. Wij vonden dit niet zo prettig. Daarnaast zijn er maar 2 douches voor de hele camping beschikbaar, deze werken op 1 euro. Het sanitair is ook wat verouderd. We hebben lekker gegeten bij de Hollander op de camping, het eten was goed en bediening vriendelijk. Wat wij erg vervelend vonden is dat wij buiten op het terras tijdens het eten constant in de sigarettenrook zaten. Dit is natuurlijk toegestaan, maar erg smerig als je als niet-rokers gezin. In de omgeving om de camping is niet veel te doen als je geen auto hebt.

Power optional grass site

Liked Stellplatz eben auf einem Wiesengrundstück.
Der Platzwart Thomas war immer freundlich und hilfsbereit und zur Stelle, wenn man ihn brauchte.

Disliked Leider war der Platz sehr laut, da zum einen bis nachts gegen 2:00 Uhr im See-Caffee Party mit einer Band war, wovon Thomas leider nichts wusste. Auch von der Männerzeltgruppe, die direkt neben unserem Platz war und bis ca. Mitternacht aktiv waren, war Thomas wohl nicht unterrichtet. Sehr schlechte Kommunikation zwischen Besitzer, bei dem gebucht wird und Platzwart. Leider war auch im Vorfeld bei der Buchung nicht klar ersichtlich, daß der See, wie ich ihn aus meiner Jugendzeit kannte, abgelassen ist und nur noch ein wuchernder "Wiesensee" ist.

From the manager: Guten Tag,

vielen Dank für Ihre Rezension. Es tut uns leid, dass Ihnen unser Klappstuhlkonzert nicht gefallen hat. Wenn die Zeltgruppe Sie gestört hat, tut uns dies ebenfalls leid und wir versuchen, es beim nächsten Mal besser zu machen. Darauf, dass der Wiesensee zurzeit nicht befüllt ist, hatten wir Sie bei der Buchung aufmerksam gemacht. Wir hoffen, dass er bald wieder angestaut werden kann, bis dahin lässt es sich, wie wir finden, aber auch ganz gut an unseren platzeigenen Weihern aushalten, wo auch bald Stellplätze entstehen werden.

Schöner Wiesenplatz alles wunderbar.…

Local attractions

Holzbachschlucht (10 minutes’ drive) is a nature reserve with a circular trail snaking through a lush forest for about three kilometres. Listen out for warblers and kingfishers as you find your way to a gorge punctuated by small waterfalls. Then climb up to the Sonnenkanzel observation deck for sunset views. Limburg an der Lahn (half an hour) has a pretty medieval town centre (Altstadt) with cobbled lanes and half-timbered buildings. Cross the stone Alte Lahnbrücke bridge for an Insta-worthy shot of the distinctive Romanesque cathedral, then head to LIMPARK for assorted activities including paintball, laser tag and go-karts. Sitting at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle (a point marked by the Deutsches Eck monument), Koblenz (55 minutes) is home to the monumental Schloss Koblenz, an 18th-century palace with elegant riverfront gardens. Accessible by cable car, the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress hosts cultural events and tours.
