"Simple, but beautiful - From Heimbach train station, walk approx. 1.5 km to the campsite entrance. After passing the permanent campsites (approx. 300 m), you first come to the parceled-out pitches and then to the tent meadow, which stretches between the Rur and the mountainside. There are plenty of electricity connections and water taps. At our tent meeting with night temperatures between +2°C and +5°C, the power consumption for 2 - 4 nights fluctuated between 2 and 26 Kwh depending on the continuous use of fan heaters, electric blankets, cool boxes etc.. You don't actually need a cool box, the Rur next to the tent pitch is knee-deep at most and only 8°C warm. Pack your food and drinks in a waterproof bag, put it in a canvas bag and tie it to the riverbank bushes/trees with string, and the natural cooling is perfect! The tent meadow is only sparsely lit until midnight, then not at all. This is the perfect way to observe the starry sky. It is a relatively long walk from the tent meadow to the sanitary facilities (approx. 300 m). The toilets have no toilet seats, but are easy for the campsite operator to clean! There are only 2 shower cubicles in the washrooms. Shower coins have to be bought at reception and last for approx. 5 minutes. There are only 2 sinks for washing up! Early risers don't need an alarm clock. This is done by the train, which passes opposite the tent meadow every hour from 5.44 am to 9.17 pm and has to whistle twice because of 1 unrestricted field path crossing. Campfires are permitted at the fire pits on the tent meadow, firewood can be purchased in the bistro. During our tent meeting, the bistro, where you can get bread rolls (rolls!) and eggs or have breakfast or a small snack, was only open on public holidays and at weekends. At night you can hear owls and foxes from the nearby forest.

"In any case, look for another place - We also stayed at this campsite for 3 nights at the end of September 2015 and wondered afterwards why we hadn't chosen a different campsite. We were probably inspired by the sentence on the campsite homepage "You don't need a reservation with us, we always have enough space". During our stay, we realized why. I was not able to understand the friendliness of the staff described in some reports here. The older lady at reception wasn't grumpy towards us and we were able to have a quick chat about soccer with the older gentleman and the staff in the "bistro" were also friendly. Although we arrived at the pitch during the lunch break, we were allowed to drive onto the pitch despite the barriers being closed instead of having to wait 2 hours in front of the barriers. Nevertheless, the older lady was not friendly either, because when we registered she wanted someone's ID card for the data (as is usual at other campsites). It was only the next day that we realized that the old lady still had our ID card. When we asked her to return our ID, the only answer we got was "You'll only get it back when you leave". NO WAY! Now our departure was already 2 days later, so it wasn't so bad for us, but if we had stayed longer than just 3 nights we would certainly have asked for it back. Withholding an ID card is not an option. Another point of criticism: We were there in the off-season, during which time reception is rarely manned. Arriving guests have to press a button at the entrance barrier, which establishes a telephone connection to the old lady. This can take 2-3 minutes. Why not give short-term guests a key for the barrier in the same way as permanent campers so that they can open the barrier themselves? I don't want to wait 2-3 minutes in front of the barrier just for it to open. It's really badly regulated, you can ask for a deposit for a key like that (and the old lady also had our ID cards). NOT POSSIBLE! The next cheeky thing was the pitches for the guest campers. These are a huge meadow, there are only a few plots and here and there an electricity box. The sentence "We have enough space" is therefore no understatement. The grass was also cut quite short. Nevertheless, at night there is no light source at all on the meadow, everything is pitch black at night. For the electricity boxes, you need someone from the staff (who you first have to call again by pressing the cabinet button, the staff in the form of the old lady or the man are then on site within 20 minutes) to unlock the electricity box for you and there are places all over the meadow where you can still see charcoal remains from a campfire. In the middle of the grass is a black charred circle. There is no "real" barbecue area with seating. Next impertinence: The wash house, which fortunately is right next to the meadow, looks very modern from the outside, but from the inside the furnishings look from the 1980s, in the men's toilets the toilet bowls don't even have toilet seats, you sit with your butt directly on the porcelain. NOT WORTH IT! The showers were fine, you just need shower coins. The sanitary building was clean. Next impertinence: The sanitary building is locked at 22:00 until the morning. NOT POSSIBLE! What happens if you have to go out at night for a "business" that your own toilet in the camper van can't necessarily handle? Or what do tent campers do? There is NO reason to lock the sanitary building at night! Right next to the sanitary building is the bistro, which is only open on Fridays and Saturdays (perhaps because it's the off-season). You can drink your beer there and soccer is also broadcast, which was all okay. Another negative thing I noticed was the location of the campsite itself: The guest meadow borders on the river Rur, on the other side of the river there is a winding road which is often used by motorcyclists (noise). And directly behind this road is a railroad line, where a train passes every half hour and honks loudly every time(!) (probably ordered by a signal to the train driver). The earliest train leaves around 6:00 am (woken up by train horn, yay...), the last train in the evening around 11:30 pm. It's nice if you've already fallen asleep at that time and are woken up by the train. Conclusion: noise problem + extremely poor management = no thanks, never again!
