- Günter K.August 2024AdvantagesThe proximity to the river ! The peace and quiet on the square ! The meadow ! Proximity to the city ! Great bike tours !Negativessee commentRating Camping WerratalUnfortunately, I simply have to address the essentials here. This place should never have been opened by the authorities for safety and hygiene reasons. The shortcomings in detail:
- No fire extinguishers on site
- In the event of a fire, there is no water available for use, as there is no water pressure... at either water tap!
- for safety reasons, the barrier must always be open for an exit!
- The dishwashing sink is located directly opposite the toilet disposal point
- Showers are dirty, too few and too small!
- Waste water disposal is crooked and slanted so that the tank cannot be emptied completely!
- On one tree a waste bag holder was screwed directly into the tree!
- the laziness of the operator of the canoe trips is unbeatable ! 70 to 80 year old and older people have to put the boat (weighing approx. 80 kg, maybe even more) in the water themselves and pull it out of the water again after arrival and also carry it upside down on the trailer for € 24 for a 2 hour canoe trip! Owner stands next to it !!!
- No jetty available but only a grid which is very slippery! Other landlords have plastic jetties with a spacious platform! No risk of injury!
- The water withdrawal on the pitch is surrounded by a car tire in which stale and foul-smelling water collects. Disgusting !
- The beer stand and the bratwurst stand are certainly no longer in line with commercial conditions.
Conclusion: in my opinion, despite its good location, this site is too expensive and cannot be recommended for the reasons mentioned above!Automatically translated. - Manuela K.May 2024Advantagesbeautiful, small, clearly laid out site in the Werra floodplain Beer garden from Thursday-Sunday with regional sausages and delicious pizzas as well as freshly tapped beer from the neighboring breweryNegativesI can't name anyidyllic, beautifully situated campsiteI had a great and relaxed stay at the Werratal campsite and would love to come back! There were fresh bread rolls every morning from 8:30am (where the baker still bakes the rolls himself and no machines). The team at the campsite was always polite, warm and helpful. No matter how busy it was, there was... always a friendly chat and smiling faces! Top!!!
There are even tickets for the outdoor pool diagonally opposite for guests from the campsite, where you save €0.50 per ticket. There was even a welcome box for my dog at check-in. It doesn't get any better than this, I'll definitely be back.Automatically translated. - Ulrike K.March 2024AdvantagesSince the campsite has been in the hands of the Bürmann family, a lot has changed for the better We are there as permanent campers The campsite is located in a beautiful area, you can relax on site and enjoy the pretty town or go on endless excursions from here The beer garden with a small snack bar is a great additionNegativesI can't really name it The new owners know that there is still a lot to do but it will be done. We are happy about many things that have already been doneSuccessful restartThe Witzenhausen campsite is a great starting point for many excursions
Campers have space and don't have to squeeze into pitchesAutomatically translated. - Udo K.January 2024AdvantagesQuiet place, natural surroundingsNegativesThere is nothingSecond homeA quiet, natural place that has been run in a very hospitable and warm manner by the new operator couple Wiebke and Michael since 01.01.2023.
The new beer garden and many other innovations have improved the quality and hospitality of the site.
As permanent campers, we feel very much at home here!!!Automatically translated.Answered from Campingplatz Werratal March 7, 2024Thank you very much Udo :-)Automatically translated. - Reinhold M.June 2023AdvantagesLocation of the pitch. Shady trees. Clean sanitary area.NegativesAdvertised with a beer garden, which only opens on weekends. Unfriendly office opening hours. Poor bread roll service. Minimal shopping facilities on site. Overflowing garbage, chaotic garbage dump.You could make more of itWe stayed at this campsite for a week with a group of kayakers. The location of the site is wonderful, directly on the Werra with entry/exit options. Witzenhausen is within walking distance. The sanitary facilities are simple but clean. The organization and management of the site could be significantly improved. The new operators still have to grow into their new tasks.Automatically translated.Answered from Campingplatz Werratal October 13, 2023Like everywhere else this year, there is a shortage of staff, which is why the beer garden cannot be staffed 7 days a week from morning to evening, so they opt for the whole weekend from Thursday to Sunday. Would you like to explain the unfriendly opening hours of the office? Monday-Saturday 8:30am-1:00pm... and 3:00pm-7:00pm Sunday 10:00am-1:00pm and 3:00pm-7:00pm. My husband and I cover these times - without employees and with a 4-year-old daughter. Bread roll service is available 7 days a week with baked goods from a baker from Bad-Sooden-Allendorf who still gets up at night and forms the rolls himself. Since the end of June there has been a large skip in the garbage area, which is emptied regularly when called. As you will have noticed, we took over the site this year, it was very well attended and the response was immediate. It is a pity that such things were not addressed in a personal conversation, we were always on site and approachable. Kind regards from Witzenhausen, W.BürmannAutomatically translated.
- Roland P.May 2023AdvantagesLocated close to the city, so several discount grocery stores and numerous stores can be reached in a few minutes by car and bicycle. The neighboring outdoor pool is also within walking distance for unaccompanied children. The banks of the Werra river, with the possibility of launching and retrieving boats, are right next to the campsite. Canoe tours with rental boats and safety equipment can also be booked from here.NegativesRoad traffic noise and noise from a railroad branch line just perceptible during the day; little traffic at night.Three weeks of the very best relaxationPleasantly original campsite without frills; with simple but always clean facilities. New, very friendly young operator couple, who have been making a noticeable effort to improve the offer since January 2023. We felt very comfortable at this campsite for three weeks.Automatically translated.Answered from Campingplatz Werratal October 13, 2023Thank you very much Roland, we would be delighted to welcome you again.

- Alexander J.May 2020AdvantagesThe campsite is in a good location, right next to the nature park. 5 minutes by car to the center of Witzenhausen. Operators can always be reached as they live right next to the campsite.NegativesYou can only get water directly at the entrance. Garbage (organic) always overfilled, despite the fact that the place was not full.1001 rabbitsWe were at the campsite shortly after the opening due to Corona for Men's Day 2020. We had a great spot at the end of the campsite with a view of meadows and fields. We were greeted by 1001 rabbits, which live everywhere. Right next to the campsite is the Werra river, where there is also a mooring for the canoes for hire. You can also leave your dog there for a swim. By the way, dogs are very welcome. The surrounding area is ideal for hiking.Automatically translated.Answered from Campingplatz Werratal August 28, 2020Thank you for your review.

- Margret R.May 2017AdvantagesGreat area, nice people, beautiful cityNegativesNoneAgain and againWe have been coming back to the site for over 20 years. There is still nature on the pitch, beautiful old trees, shade or sun. No division, you can position yourself however you like. The Werra cycle path is right next to the site. For us it's always the same. Witzenhausen, arrive, switch off, start cycling. The sanitary facilities are always cleanAutomatically translated.Answered from Campingplatz Werratal March 3, 2022Thank you for your review.

- Walter C.October 2016AdvantagesLocation Werra and city.NegativesSanitary facilities.In need of improvementI have been to this place over 30 years ago. Now I've been there for the second time and have the impression that not much has changed. A meadow square, broken up and divided up by trees, boulders and flower pots. Location: in an arc of the Werra and only a 10-minute walk to the old town. The main road... and railroad on the other side of the Werra are clearly audible; the loud freight trains also run at night. Currently (October 2016) the open-air swimming pool diagonally opposite is being renovated. Considerable construction noise can be heard from there until 6 pm. The sanitary facilities are old. The showers are very cramped, with the exception of a single, more spacious shower in the washroom. No heating in October, although it was already quite cold. Everything in the sanitary facilities looks technically and visually unkempt. During our stay of 4 days it was only cleaned once. No drinking water on the pitch, must be fetched from the sanitary building. No gray water inlet for WoMos. Fee: Motorhome + 2 people, electricity and showers €17/night.Automatically translated.Answered from Campingplatz Werratal March 3, 2022Thank you for your review.
The sanitary facilities are cleaned daily.Automatically translated. - Jonas v.September 2016AdvantagesLocation, tranquillity, open spaciousness of the site.Negatives-Good for a visit to WitzenhausenIt was a really good campsite for us. We were on our way back from the north of Germany to the south and visited our friends in Witzenhausen for two nights. We were free to choose our pitch on the meadow. We like pitches like this on large meadows under trees. The children can jump and you always have... them in view. We could also see the playground from a distance, so our 4-year-old could go there on her own. The infrastructure of the campsite was perfectly fine and we also got on well with the manager. The bread roll service worked really well, so we had nothing to complain about. We are therefore happy to award ****, as there is always room for improvement!Automatically translated.Answered from Campingplatz Werratal March 3, 2022Thank you for your kind review, we look forward to welcoming you again.Automatically translated.
- paul b.August 2016AdvantagesGood accessibility; fast, problem-free registration;NegativesIdeal for taking a breather for 1-2 days when passing through;Stayed at the campsite for 2 nights in August 2016 with the camper van to catch our breath on the way home. The CP is close to the village and is easy to reach from the highway. The sanitary facilities are dated but clean. Registration went smoothly. The nearby town center of Witzenhausen is worth seeing (approx. 20 min. walk).Automatically translated.Answered from Campingplatz Werratal March 3, 2022Thank you for the rating.Automatically translated.
- Michael W.July 2016AdvantagesGood starting point for excursions to the Werra Meissner district, for canoeing or hiking.NegativesThe sanitary facilities need an overhaul. 3€/day is above average.You could make more ofThere is a lack of investment. With motivation and some money, you could make something of the place. The owners are friendly and provide information. The site is very quiet. There is a main road on the other side of the Werra, but you don't notice much of it. What is noticeable is the railroad. You... can hear freight trains. Witzenhausen is well suited for a short trip. You can admire many half-timbered houses. The medieval town wall runs through the town. Interrupted again and again by watchtowers. From the Diebesturn you have a wonderful view of the small half-timbered town. Witzenhausen is famous for its cherries. So it's best to visit at the beginning of July for the cherry fair. Directly opposite are the indoor and outdoor swimming pools. There is mini golf on the Johannisberg. Stores can be reached on foot. All in all, the price of the site is above average for what it offers.Automatically translated.Answered from Campingplatz Werratal March 3, 2022Thank you very much for your review.
We are always investing and motivation is always there.Automatically translated. - Susann S.August 2015Advantagesgood as a stopover, as close to the highway; beautiful surroundingsNegativesShowers bad and expensive, not very quiet at nightgood for stopover + 1-2 daysCan't quite understand the rather poor reviews. CP manager is a bit rustic, but not unfriendly. Bread roll service was available and was delicious. The main road and train can be heard in the narrow valley. The place is manageable, shady, next door are beer garden and swimming pool, the pretty old town... of Witzenhausen is within 15 minutes walking distance. Bicycles for hire. The sanitary facilities are old-fashioned and not very well designed, but clean. Shower has too little water pressure and runs too short, e.g. to free longer hair from shampoo. You shouldn't pay anything at all for these old-fashioned things! with shower tokenAutomatically translated.Answered from Campingplatz Werratal March 3, 2022We still appreciate your ratingAutomatically translated.
- Bernd D.June 2015Camping for one night onlyWe arrived at the campsite after driving about 700 km and were looking forward to spending the night. At the registration the first shock, unfriendly so according to the motto I have to write a registration again. Then the next question was about bread rolls on Sunday morning. Short and concise answer:... there are none here. Sanitary facilities inadequate: old, strong odor, would have to be renewed. No drinking water on the pitch, you have to fetch it from the wash house, oh dear if you have set up a little further back. We won't go there again, not even for just one night.Automatically translated.Answered from Campingplatz Werratal March 3, 2022Thank you for your review. Our baker doesn't work on Sundays.
In the meantime we have also installed a water tap on the pitch.Automatically translated. - Thomas O.September 2014Advantages-close to the beautiful town of Witzenhausen -very beautiful landscape -cycling very well possibleNegatives- 500 meters from the B 80 and a busy railroad line (loud even at night!) - outdated, narrow sanitary facilitiesRipped off and paid the price!I waited an extra 3 weeks to write a review until the initial anger had dissipated! We actually just wanted to go on a nice canoe trip on the Werra. Rip-off no. 1: four worn-out caravans, probably from the 80s, without water connection, for €99 per couple for two nights. Rip-off no. 2: four minutes of... partly warm water for 70 cents in run-down sanitary facilities. Rip-off no.3, boat rental including passenger transport to Eschwege, shock in the morning, 9 people had to drive themselves, the boats so narrow that me and my wife couldn't sit in them, admittedly we have wide butts but we could have been told beforehand that we wouldn't fit in. We stopped the 36 km canoe trip after about 800 meters. The rental lady knew so little about Eschwege that the boat supposedly could not be brought back by land. As a result, there were very rude comments from the site operator on the phone. The canoe had to be paddled back by other people with great effort. Incidentally, there would have been an access road to fetch the boat. We had to organize the return trip ourselves. Fortunately, we had two cars on site with which my wife and I could drive back. The owners would have had to pick them up themselves in the evening. Of course, there was no money back! Lesson learned! Without our help, it would have been impossible to climb the jetty at the campsite without coming into contact with the water. We would have been better off staying next door in the training hotel where we also had breakfast. It probably wouldn't have cost so much more.Automatically translated.
- Michael B.April 2014AdvantagesQuiet location near the city center of Witzenhausen.NegativesInvestment backlog in the sanitary sector.A bit outdated, camping "rustic"Quiet location, ideal for relaxing. Nice operators, bread roll service. Unfortunately, the sanitary facilities in particular are getting on in years, but clean. Conclusion: camping "pure" and a bit rustic.Automatically translated.
