Altmühltaler Naturpark Camping Beilngries Reviews

Barbara Z.September 2024
Advantages
Bread roll service worked well
Negatives
Telephone contact impossible Reception very rarely manned, check-in only via machines Sanitary facilities in poor condition and rarely cleaned Price/performance ratio
Impersonal takes some getting used to
The proximity to Beilngries motivated us to book a few nights here. The check-in at the machine worked well, but we were on our own when choosing and finding the pitch. One of the 2 sanitary buildings was closed. The sanitary building that was open had been visually spruced up, but that didn't make the... shortcomings any better. These are, for example, washbasins glued together with armored tape, rusty hooks, missing shelf space in the shower or shower heads that do not hold on the shower bar. The gray water should be disposed of in a gully on the side of the road, which is not easy to reach for large mobile homes. Overall, the campsite's advertising promises much more than we found. From our point of view, the price/performance ratio does not fit here at all.

Advantages
Convenient location on the cycle path Beautiful surroundings
Negatives
Tent meadow directly on the highway, noise barrier not sufficient Tent meadow without shade Sanitary facilities too far away from tent meadow Extremely expensive for people with tents
Not for people with a tent
We were traveling by bike and tent and spent one night on the site. The site is completely geared towards the many rental accommodations and is not suitable for people with tents (see disadvantages).

Advantages
Quiet location close to nature, many leisure activities, friendly staff, bread roll service
Negatives
Unfortunately, there were no shelves in the shower cubicles for the ladies in the left sanitary building.
Well-managed campsite in natural surroundings directly on the Altmühl oxbow lake
The negative reviews initially made me very hesitant as to whether I should book here. However, we were greeted very warmly at reception. We were also informed that lighting had been installed on the main path. The pitch was not fully booked and most guests chose a pitch with a private bathroom. This... meant that the communal bathrooms were hardly frequented. Our barrel (F24) was located at the back of the campsite. I found the path to the sanitary facilities reasonable, even for my 6-year-old son. I also didn't find parking in front of the barrier annoying. The sanitary buildings should only be entered with socks or flip-flops, which can't really be implemented consistently as you don't always have flip-flops with you or the floor is wet. As expected, the brass-colored designer waterfall taps have acquired a patina and now look a little unsightly. They also splash far over the sink if you open the tap without thinking. The campsite is quiet and well-kept and the water taps were in operation and clean. The wifi was a little weak and the sleeping barrels could do with a new coat of protective paint, otherwise everything was ok and clean. The fan heater in our barrel was defective, the exchange went smoothly. I liked ordering bread rolls from the Rosi vending machine, as you are not tied to opening hours. Only the bread roll delivery could start a little earlier. The canoe trips on offer were unfortunately already fully booked, but we were given a very good alternative by a member of staff.
Whether you have to make and take off your own beds with the "barrel hotel" advertising is a matter of taste. It's more like barrel camping and we really enjoyed it.

Advantages
Location close to the village and the Altmühltal cycle path Lady at reception very friendly.
Negatives
No contact possible by telephone. All roads completely dark at night. Most of the water extraction points have been out of order for months. Existing ones creepily silted up. Many things in the wash house and toilets technically damaged, including toilet flushing, shower rods, taps etc. I had the impression that a technician was not available on site at the time.
E.T.
The site needs closer supervision and maintenance of the equipment. There seemed to be a lack of staff.

Negatives
See comment
weekend trip
Even the registration process was very impersonal and tedious. Everything only by email.
There is no reception/guest service on the pitch. If you are lucky, you will meet a person at a window, otherwise you have to negotiate with the vending machine Rosi. Our barrel was in very poor condition. Rotted... through in the lower rear area. Paint was peeling off. Windows and door did not close properly. The fly screens were torn and the laminate flooring consisted of loose pieces of board. You had to make the beds yourself. Everything was carelessly furnished.
You have to pay 150.00 euros in advance for this.
The other barrels, most of which were behind the bridge, were also very cramped. There was no shade, no waste bins and worst of all, no toilet in this area behind the bridge. It was exactly 300 meters to the wash house.
Now the highlight, there is no lighting in the entire square at night. It is totally black. Even with a flashlight, it's easy to lose your bearings. Unacceptable for women and children who have to go out at night. Therefore, nature is used in this area for small business. The wifi was defective and non-existent throughout the site.
At all water points there was a sign with the inscription pipe burst. (and that at the end of July)
There was only one water tap, mounted on a loose zinc pipe, in a wet muddy meadow corner. As it was very hot, tables were set up in the evening for eating and later for partying.
In one street it was particularly bad. After complaints and the threat of police action at around 02:00, the provocative and noisy sniggering continued.
There was no control by the site operator.
We felt very uncomfortable here on both days and were glad to be allowed to leave.
Our conclusion: They are trying to make a lot of profit here with little staff and little effort.
Never again camping in Beilgries

Advantages
Close to town, nicely laid out, private bathroom
Negatives
Without a private bathroom, it's a long way to the toilets/showers
Beautiful place for an Altmühltrip
Nice pitch in the lively town of Beilngries. Pitches with private toilets/showers tend to be at the front of the site. There are none in the areas further away from the reception, but then it's all the further to the only shower/toilet building on the site by the reception. The sanitary facilities are... new and well maintained.
There are many tiny houses/barrels/shepherd's caravans. But there are also plenty of pitches, as the site is huge.
The center of Beilngries is about 1.5 km away. No problem by bike. You should have one with you anyway, because the cycle paths in the region are great.
The pitches can be very muddy when it rains...
I can't say anything about the site pub as it's closed due to Corona.

Advantages
The only positive thing is the proximity to Beilngries. We met up with friends who have a vacation apartment there. Otherwise we wouldn't have chosen this campsite and will definitely have to look for something else next time!
Negatives
Sanitary area simply disgusting. Stayed there for 3 days. There was the same hair on the sink as on the 1st day. When do they clean here? Cobwebs in the corner. Toilet brush dirty and dusty. The pitches are insanely expensive because every pitch now has its own bathroom. The few pitches without a bathroom are allowed to use the sanitary building which, in my opinion, is apparently only cleaned in a makeshift manner. We went on a three-week trip and there were always cleaning fairies in the sanitary buildings ..... I never met anyone here. In addition, no attention is paid here to ensuring that the night's rest is observed. Nobody cares, it's not checked. If you want to party until 1 a.m., this is the place for you.
Very unclean
We will not choose this campsite again. The whole campsite is unlit at night. I wouldn't let my children walk alone from the tent meadow to the toilet at night. Creepy!
When booking, make sure you don't get a pitch near the sleeping barrels. There is a party there and, as already mentioned, there is... no peace and quiet at night and no checks are made.
I first used bathroom no. 1 and was simply disgusted. The sanitary buildings are really getting on in years. Fortunately, it's very dark so you can't really see the dirt straight away. I then went to bathroom no. 2 in the hope that it would be better there, but there were cobwebs in the corner, the mirrors were totally filthy, there were tufts of hair in the corner...

Advantages
The cleanliness of the only good, sometimes very good sanitary facilities. The tent meadow by the river.
Negatives
The telephone announcement is not a waiting loop - no one ever (!) answered my phone - but a well-made advertisement. Instead of a reception desk, there is only a check-in machine. It lets cyclists who have booked fixed accommodation check in, for example, but doesn't give out any keys. So you sometimes have to wait in the rain until 4.00 pm. Campers are given a pitch number for the caravan meadow which does not exist. There is a free choice of pitches on the meadow. We visited several corners of the facility in the rain until we reached our destination. Highly impersonal and unappealing. We are used to being welcomed at campsites by a person who also gives tips about the site and our stay, for example. Some of the pitches in front of the expensive, clunky-looking private bathrooms reminded me more of winter parking spaces for camping vehicles than nice pitches. In comparison, the caravan meadow had more of a camping flair. You have to make friends with only one water tap and +/- 300m to the only sanitary area. The power supply came from fused distributors located on the meadow and covered with plastic boxes. When the whole meadow was without power several times in the evening in humid May 2021, it was probably due to the humidity. Note: "We had no problems with this in the last dry summer". According to the order noted on posters, the value of the guests seems to be grouped in the order tiny house, barrel hotel, camping. The vaunted 4 stars certainly do not apply to the camping. In connection with Covid-19, the owner's decision not to recognize complete vaccinations or recoveries, but to require daily rapid tests, was sobering. At the time of our stay, vaccinated and recovered people were treated the same as tested people throughout Germany and in Bavaria. Furthermore, the wearing of FFP-2 masks was required on the entire site - all an incomprehensible arbitrariness. If staff were present at the entrance to the campsite, it was to check the daily test results or to point out the obligation to wear a mask on the campsite. After more than 40 years of camping, I have never written a negative review about a campsite; however, this impersonally managed campsite with excellent, if inaccurate, advertising prompted me to do so.
Great advertising, disappointing camping
As campers, we did not feel comfortable on this pitch. Campers standing right next to us said the same thing: only choose pitches that you know, or where you only pay for the actual pitch time even if you leave early.

Advantages
Practically furnished shepherd's wagon good location by the river, very close to nature cycle path and village with nice restaurants nearby
Negatives
Insufficient reception hours Service machine often not usable Showers without shelves and hooks Price-performance ratio could be better
Shepherd's wagon something different
Our arrival was on the 1st day after the accommodation ban in Bavaria. Despite the campsite being empty, reception didn't open until 16:00, so the queue was correspondingly long.
The meadow by the shepherd's wagons had not been mowed. It is unclear why this could not be done before the reopening.
The... wagon itself is very practically furnished and has plenty of storage space. We also really liked the terrace.
The path to the toilets is relatively long and not lit at night.
The washing and toilet facilities were always very clean. Unfortunately, there was a lack of hooks and storage facilities. Even stylish washbasins don't help.
Ordering bread rolls from a vending machine is a good idea if it always works, which was often not the case in our time. Unfortunately, the bread rolls are also not to be recommended.

Advantages
Check in very easy through vending machine beautifully laid out great location very well maintained
Negatives
When booking, either pay in full or there is a surcharge. Very strict cancellation policy
Super nice location and very clean
We were 4 couples here for the weekend. It was super nice and the hygiene regulations are also implemented very well. The village is easy to reach on foot and you can do a lot in the area. We arrived at lunchtime and checked in at the check-in machine. There were no problems and we were able to move into our pitch straight away. Everything is super laid out and well maintained. I'd be happy to stay again, but if so then without a reservation.

Vacation in Germany
Due to the CORONA location, we were convinced to spend our vacation in Germany. The landscape, nature, tranquillity and idyll in particular drew us to Bavaria. We still remembered Beingries from when we used to spend our vacation with our parents in a tent. This time it was more luxurious in a motorhome... with an awning.
The Altmühler Naturpark Camping is a very nice place that offers everything you could wish for on vacation.
Our time there was very relaxing and restful. A wonderful 14 days in the natural surroundings of the campsite. The day trips in the surrounding area were also very nice. The staff at the campsite were very friendly and the prices were fair.

We would be happy to come back and recommend it.

Great campsite
The campsite is very easy to find. There are many pitches with views of the river and mountains. Despite the current corona situation, we were able to use the sanitary facilities etc. without any problems or worries. Right next to the pitches there was drinking water and even sockets and USB ports for... charging cell phones and cameras. You never got bored either, as there was a wide range of activities such as swimming, tennis, soccer, table tennis, trampolines, canoe and bike tours or beautiful excursion destinations.
So there is something for young and old.
The campsite is highly recommended

Nothing negative to say
Nice fun vacation with children
We were camping with our two children and were completely satisfied. The pitch is large and offers enough distance from other people. The playground is great for the children. There is also plenty of space for them to let off steam and a beautiful lake for swimming. There are lots of activities on offer in the area, such as canoeing. In general, the campsite is very well located and well connected. We had a very nice stay here

Clean and quiet campsite
Only had a short stopover at this campsite. The location is very quiet, but still not too far from the beach. The cleanliness is really great. The pitch and the prices were also very good. I'm thinking about coming back.

Worst campsite in 55 years
We booked a pitch online on the Cpl. from 01.09. to 15.09.2020, trusting the description and presentation on the website, and paid in advance.
The disaster began when we registered on site. The reception is not manned and there is no contact person, no tourist information, no site plan or site rules....
The boldly advertised catering and ice cream sales also do not take place or are non-existent.
Registration takes place on a computer (Rosi) with the booking number. We were then allocated pitch no. 2 with the printout. We drove to the pitch and experienced our blue miracle. There was no going back and forth because we were ankle-deep in mud. All the wheels on the car and Mouver were spinning. There was no help in sight far and wide. Only with extreme physical effort was it possible to get the Ww 1.8 t out of this mud hole after about 1.5 hours. I don't need to describe what our shoes and clothes looked like. The operator cannot be blamed for the fact that it rained and the pitch was unusable. But the fact that there was no person on site with knowledge of the area was. We then made our own decision and drove to pitch no. 6, which was reasonably dry, and set it up. Between 18:00 and 19:00 the reception was manned by a helpless and ignorant person. I informed her of our decision. After telephone consultation with whomever, our choice of pitch was accepted.
The next day we realized that the site made a very unkempt impression (lawn and hedges not cut, no path lighting in the dark).
According to the Bavarian campsite regulations - CPIV § 13, lighting is mandatory. In addition, there are concrete manholes (1.0 m ø / 1.0 m high) on all plots and therefore cannot be used completely or only to a very limited extent. A price reduction for this is not granted.
