- Christian H.May 2024Advantagesidyllic location quiet place friendly staffNegativesVery outdated Cleanliness of the sanitary facilitiesIdyllic, but very outdatedThe site is very quiet and idyllic, trees, hedges, flowing water, a lake with pedal boat hire, the owner is friendly, as are the reception and the groundsman. The potential for a great place is absolutely there. Unfortunately, other essential things are missing: The sanitary facilities are outdated and... unkempt, cobwebs on the windows, dead flies on the windowsill, the shower water only gets lukewarm, there are no towels or paper towels at the washbasins. It was not possible to dispose of the gray water, the corresponding place overflows if you try. There was no corresponding notice. The groundsman came running up quickly and pointed out the defect to me when he saw me starting to empty my tank. It was very clear that the site was obviously only managed instead of invested in. The pitch was ok for 2 nights, priced at €25 per night for 2 people including vehicle and electricity. For several days or a vacation, I'd rather pay €10 more and have a clean, modern and functioning infrastructure.Automatically translated.
- Steffi und Ingo B.September 2023AdvantagesWhere should we start ? The peace and quiet, the friendliness of the Wakker family, the cleanliness of the whole complex, the beer garden, the proximity to Jena, the leisure facilities....NegativesWe can't think of anything.Again and again with pleasureAs described above, we love this campsite. We come to the Rabeninsel campsite at least three times a year. The unparceled pitches are very spacious and sunny or shady, depending on your preference. Simply ideal. The lake is perfect for swimming or pedal boating. The ideal starting point for great cycling tours. However, we are not luxury campers. Cleanliness and being close to nature are more important to us.Automatically translated.
- Karina E.September 2023AdvantagesProximity to Jena and SaaleNegativesVery outdatedWould have potential if ....The campsite's location is actually well suited for exploring Jena and the surrounding area, or for canoeing on the Saale.
The site in general can be described in a few words as outdated and run-down. The operator(s) seem to make an effort to repair defects, which can be seen in many places. Unfortunately,... these repairs do not appear to have been carried out by qualified personnel. The idea of using side entrance doors as shower doors is nice, but they don't lock properly. Drilling holes in frames for a locking mechanism is unfortunately not professional. There are neither towel dispensers nor fans in the ladies' toilets. The toilet seats have been visibly worn since last year. The wooden core is already showing through in various places.
The power socket cover is missing in the men's washrooms!
It could be a nice campsite if investments were made in modern standards.Automatically translated. - Ralf G.March 2023AdvantagesThe location is simply stunningNegativesThe owners/tenants give the impression that they don't need any more guests because of their wealth.Pre-inspectionIf you like prohibition signs, video surveillance and - even after the explanation of our visit today (namely getting to know the local conditions) - an extremely dismissive and unfriendly operator with a Dutch accent, this is certainly the place for you. Unfortunately, I realized that I would not visit this place again, despite its excellent location. Thank you for this lesson BEFORE a real visit!

The lake is small but very nice and the sanitary facilities are always clean. The proximity to Jena is great. We would love to come back.Automatically translated.
- Steffen B.May 2022AdvantagesProximity to the city and the university hospitalNegativesEverything is great. There is nothing to complain about.Always a pleasureAs we attach great importance to peace and nature, we always enjoy going to this campsite.
The manager is always there for us and reserves our favorite spot. The toilets are always clean and the grounds are well maintained. We are glad that this campsite exists. We wouldn't want to be without it.Automatically translated. - André H.June 2019AdvantagesSnack bar, free choice of pitch, spacious, clean, bathing area,Escaping the big cityWe decided to spend two days here at short notice. The operators are very friendly and the place is very pleasant. It may not be state-of-the-art, but the price-performance ratio is good. The snack bar has a good selection, from smoked fish to currywurst. There is a small playground for children on the grounds and one at the bathing lake. Our dog also felt very comfortable and we would all love to come back.Automatically translated.Answered from Camping & Ferienpark Bei Jena, Olga Wakker June 16, 2019Thank you very much for your kind review. And of course we look forward to seeing you again.
Team Camping & Holiday Park near JenaAutomatically translated. - Ehepaar F.June 2019AdvantagesDogs welcome. Nice location. Friendly peopleNegativesA few things still need to be done. But there's time😊Informal and relaxingWe (a couple with a dog) stayed at the campsite for three nights over Whitsun. The site is small and manageable. Pitches are not parceled out with electricity but no water connection. Free choice of pitch. The reception was friendly. There was not really a reception. The entire facility is already quite... outdated and there is still a lot to do here. The sanitary facilities at the front of the site were functional and OK. Shower cubicles not too narrow and hand showers. The sanitary facilities at the back of the site are housed in containers and really take some getting used to. The atmosphere on the pitch was good. Very informal and nice people. All in all, simple but somehow also cozy. We and our furry friend felt at home.Automatically translated.Answered from Camping & Ferienpark Bei Jena, Olga Wakker June 16, 2019Thank you very much for your kind review. And we are indeed renovating this "GDR campsite" (really very nice back then!) step by step. The nature is beautiful and quiet, and the buildings are "becoming beautiful again".

A few things still need to be done. The food on offer is sufficient but could be improved. The sanitary facilities need modernization. But if you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the right place for you.Automatically translated.Answered from Camping & Ferienpark Bei Jena, Olga Wakker July 25, 2018Thank you very much for your review. Of course we still have a few things to do, and we will do them. Unfortunately, it's only one step at a time. By the way, have you tried our smoked trout? Many guests find it very tasty.
Team Camping & Holiday Park near JenaAutomatically translated. - Jenny T.June 2018Visit in JuneWe had a Finnhütte and the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The gage window had 1 cm of space at the bottom, so what use is it then. We were very happy that we had our own bed linen. The food in the restaurant on the pitch was good.Automatically translated.Answered from Camping & Ferienpark Bei Jena, Olga Wakker November 2, 2018Dear Mrs. Tröger,
I have not found a booking from you, but perhaps someone else has made a booking? In any case, it is a pity that you have not contacted us. Cleanliness is very important to us, and I would have liked to have seen the hut and possibly offered another one.
With kind regards,

Ideal for relaxing for a few days. The family who run the campsite make every effort to satisfy their guests and keep the campsite clean and tidy. Of course, not everything is perfect, but if you are looking for luxury or the like, you have to go to a hotel, it's just a campsite. Excellent for small children as they can't run off as the site is surrounded by water.Automatically translated.Answered from Camping & Ferienpark Bei Jena, Olga Wakker May 15, 2018Thank you very much for your kind review. Cleanliness is indeed the first thing we try to pay attention to. And we continue to try to improve the campsite step by step. We will create more play facilities for children.
Team Camping & Holiday Park near JenaAutomatically translated. - Andreas W.April 2018AdvantagesFriendliness, cleanliness, price/performance ratio.NegativesThose who search will surely find. We couldn't find anything.A fantastic summer weekend in April 2018No, the fantastic weather on this weekend should by no means be part of our review, but it was of course a lucky coincidence that we were there on this summer weekend. Even the telephone contact was very positive. We were told in a pleasant Dutch dialect that we would be very welcome. First plus point!... We received a very warm welcome on site. Registration was very quick and unbureaucratic. We were able to enjoy the wonderful humor of the cheerful, sociable Dutch host. A nation that knows a thing or two about camping! We were able to choose our own pitch on the site. Everything was quiet and comfortable, just like the whole stay. We wanted to go on a few bike tours from there and wanted to include our son, who lives nearby, who arrived by train and wanted us to pick up his bike. No problem for the campsite operator. We didn't have to pay extra for his presence. The sanitary facilities were certainly not luxurious, but they were definitely fit for purpose and always very clean. The fact that there were no coin-operated showers was particularly positive. My main criticism of campsites is always these unfortunate coin-operated showers, which never save anything but drive campers away. Here you could theoretically shower until the heater gave up the ghost. But who does that? No responsible camper! Certainly not! Big plus point! We weren't able to test the bathing lake yet, but the site is conveniently located on the Saaleradweg cycle path and therefore absolutely ideal for Jena and Naumburg. The snack bar in front of the campsite was very busy. Of course, it is also ideally located. The peace and quiet on the site was particularly nice. There are certainly still some construction sites around the campsite that could be fixed, but that should not be part of this rating. All in all, we had a fantastic weekend and will definitely be back again. Many thanks for that!Automatically translated.Answered from Camping & Ferienpark Bei Jena, Olga Wakker May 5, 2018Thank you very much for your kind review. We are of course delighted that you are satisfied. And we have to thank you! You were/are nice and lovely guests. Every campsite operator would like to have such guests. And we are indeed working on the construction sites. It will only get better. We look forward to seeing you again. Team and Olga & Jan WakkerAutomatically translated.
- Jörn S.August 2017AdvantagesProximity to Jena, area, tranquillityNegativesSanitary facilitiesA good thing to doA beautifully situated site with friendly staff and lots of idyllic peace and quiet. The sanitary facilities were not quite up to our standard, but are sufficiently clean. The site is just right as a base from which to explore the surrounding area. We stayed there for two days and will definitely be back again.Automatically translated.Answered from Camping & Ferienpark Bei Jena, Olga Wakker September 18, 2017Thank you for your review. We promise that we will improve the campsite step by step, and also the sanitary facilities. We look forward to seeing you again and hope to be one step ahead next time.

Sanitary facilities: we were glad that we were there with our camper van.Automatically translated.Answered from Camping & Ferienpark Bei Jena, Olga Wakker July 21, 2017Thank you for your review. We immediately agree that we still have a lot to do, but the sanitary facilities? We have an ANWB-3* campsite because of the sanitary facilities. So unfortunately we don't quite understand this.

The campsite has its own charm and we always feel at home. Nice welcome, uncomplicated and always friendly.

Team Camping & Holiday Park near JenaAutomatically translated. - Christian L.June 2017AdvantagesQuiet, very close to JenaNegativesNo supply except bread service and beer garden.Campsite back in timeWe stayed at the campsite from 24.06-26.06.2017. It is a beautifully situated place between Saale and a swimming lake 3km away from Jena. The place itself is still original GDR. Not much has changed yet. The sanitary facilities have been redone, but would have to be completely redesigned. It is a pity... that there are no shopping facilities on the site. The operators and staff are very friendly and helpful. The place would have even more potential if more were invested in the shortest possible time. For a week or short vacation the place is perfectly fine. Yours sincerely, Christian LauAutomatically translated.Answered from Camping & Ferienpark Bei Jena, Olga Wakker July 21, 2017Thank you for your kind review.
Team Camping & Holiday Park near JenaAutomatically translated. - Gerhard & Sabine N.June 2017AdvantagesNature and tranquillityNature & tranquillityVery nice and quiet campsite, away from the hustle and bustle! We made the mistake of not booking for the period around Whitsun. As a result, we didn't get a pitch at our preferred campsite after driving for eight hours. In the whole area we were only offered an emergency parking space in the parking... lot here. We took this with the idea of switching to our preferred campsite after Whit Monday. But things turned out differently. The pleasant peace and quiet on this natural campsite, accompanied only by the morning cock-a-doodle-doo of a distant cockerel, the colorful twittering of a myriad of different birds from dawn to dusk, and the evening croaking of frogs and toads, and the infectious calm of the campsite operator, Jan, tempted us to stay. We have been here for five days now and are already looking forward to the next five days to explore the beauty of this country from here. The site here is kept in a natural state. If you like hedges cut at right angles, you won't find them here. The water is taken from the adjacent pond to save precious drinking water. The campsite can be reached via a cycle path and is therefore a starting point and destination for cyclists, and canoeists can use the adjacent Saale for excursions. Anglers can buy a fishing license here and try their luck and archers can shoot their arrows on a nearby 3D course. The pond adjacent to the campsite is ideal for swimming. A few small items can be bought at the reception and you can order light and dark rolls for breakfast. For larger purchases, there are several nearby supermarkets on the main road. The sanitary area is always cleaned and if it doesn't look like it, a piglet was certainly at work in front of it. Although the site was very busy over Whitsun, there was always hot water in the showers. We rarely go to a campsite more often, but we would wish for a campsite like this more often. PS: And by the way, WLAN Internet is only available in the reception areaAutomatically translated.Answered from Camping & Ferienpark Bei Jena, Olga Wakker July 21, 2017Thank you very much for your kind review. We are sure that every campsite would like to have nice guests like you.
