Nordsee-Campingplatz Schillig Reviews

Tim G.October 2024
Advantages
Very clean and well-kept sanitary facilities in the houses.
Negatives
Cleaning systems for the toilet cassette only.
I've never been taken for such a ride on a campsite!
We wanted to be close to two families. One family with a dog and one family without a dog. The proposal was given as the best solution with six spaces in between (approx. 80 m). It turned out on site that there would have been a better solution. But that doesn't count on the pitch in Schillig. Fixed is fixed! As flexible as a railroad tie.
NEVER AGAIN!

Advantages
We as a couple with 2 dogs enjoyed the peace and quiet outside the vacations, got to know nice long-term campers with dogs.
Negatives
dog park, the fence could be a little higher You have to drive to the next town to go shopping.
Camping site Schillig
Campsite very great, after change of operator it has slowed down a bit, dog place could be improved a bit, new is now the great bakery plus coffee to recommend. Sanitary facilities are cleaned thoroughly every morning, everyone who goes there should be treated as if they were at home.
Staff very friendly and helpful.

Advantages
Location is quite good
Negatives
Obviously no regulations for permanent campers. Disinterested site management. Technology is weak...
Better not ...
Easter 2024, 28.03-01.04, 4 nights for a proud 215,-
Stayed there with 2 motorhomes and 2 dogs. Pitches in the "dog area" hardly look well maintained, are uneven and muddy. No manual cassette emptying available, but vending machines for 2 euros. Unfortunately only one in operation. You have to walk and... search... We made a pilgrimage to the parking lot opposite. It's also free there.
We arrived early on 28.03 and asked the grumpy-looking lady at reception if we could get to the site a little earlier... The answer: "If you pay the overnight price, no problem!!!" That makes a guest feel immediately welcome!!! Bravo, extremely clever... First of all, the sanitary facilities were fine.
Within the 4 nights we had various power failures and a water failure.
However, these annoyances are only side issues.
What is really annoying is the completely ignorant behavior of most of the permanent campers, who unfortunately encircle you. They obviously arrive and set up at Easter, which of course does not work without consequences. As a guest camper, you stand between arriving and departing cars with trailers from which entire households and more are dragged onto the sacred spot. At the latest then the peace and quiet is over. Now the drilling, banging, hammering, arguing, grumbling and groaning begins... But that's nothing compared to hammering in the fastening rods with sledgehammers for the so-called windbreak. Which of course everyone has themselves. Whether it's Good Friday or Easter Sunday, the 30 mm steel poles are ruthlessly beaten with a 5 kg hammer. There was no sign of a groundsman, who was only 20 m away from us in reception and is certainly responsible for keeping the peace on public holidays. The permanent campers can apparently do whatever they want there. Too bad, because the location is not bad.

Advantages
1. the view of the sea because we booked directly in front. 2. warm water in the shower Nothing more!
Negatives
1. price 55 Euro per night 2. wash houses 3. sell pitches 4. access roads 5. no midday rest 6. publicly accessible wash houses 7. vermin in wash houses 8. technical condition of wash houses and supply boxes on site. Usw.....
Catastrophe!!!!!
Total failure. We were here exactly twice. The first and the last time!
Pitches so bad that you can't even put up an awning / Price for 5 nights 274 euros for actually nothing / The wash houses, at least in our direction, old, broken and dirty. Plague of vermin in the showers, every second tap loose... or leaking. Sinks and toilets closed due to defects, the showers had the same dirt on the floors and walls for 5 days, half of the washing machines and dryers are defective. Then you run after your money and in the end they wanted to withhold the money from our camping card.
Anyone who accepts guests until October (fall vacation) should also make sure that the place is in the appropriate condition. You don't feel welcome. We ask ourselves: is it because the season is coming to an end and they don't feel like doing anything anymore?
Or is this the normal state of affairs? If so, we don't want to know what it's like in the high season.
Especially as EVERYONE, including walkers, can use the sanitary blocks like all campers, but they pay dearly for it.
The access roads are a complete disaster. And not only when it has rained. With a 2.50m caravan, it's difficult to get to the sea and folding in mirrors is a must. The paths are just incredibly narrow with dips and protruding stones where you have to worry about your tires. All in all, the worst place we have ever booked ...... and for a lot of money.

The sea view, the hot water in the showers and the restaurant next door run by great staff (8 degrees east) are the only positive things worth mentioning..... but certainly won't make us go there again.

Mixed experiences in the dog area of the Schillig campsite
At first glance, the Schillig campsite offers everything you could wish for on a vacation with your dog. The spacious pitches in the dog area are above average and allow our four-legged friends to really let off steam. The additional fenced-off play area for dogs is particularly commendable. Here, our... four-legged friends have the opportunity to play and run around in a safe environment, which is particularly practical for dog owners with several dogs.

However, as a guest with a dog, you feel more like a second-class guest. In particular, the long walk to the dog beach, which is not really reasonable for dogs in summer when temperatures are high, tarnishes the overall picture. It is therefore advisable to bring a bike and a trailer to take your dog to the beach.

In addition, the numerous prohibition signs indicating that dogs are not allowed on the side paths make for a rather restricted vacation experience. This has a rather restrictive effect on dog owners and could spoil the vacation experience somewhat.

It should also be noted that dogs must remain in the Trixi when on excursions by bike, as the entire area is a nature reserve. While this certainly helps to preserve the natural beauty of the area, it significantly restricts the mobility of dogs and their owners.

In summary, it can be said that the Schillig campsite basically has a lot to offer in the dog area, but there is a clear need for improvement in terms of freedom of movement and the general treatment of dog guests. For a vacation with a dog, you should therefore consider the following points

Advantages
Nothing
Negatives
The place was actually very empty although it was a holiday in NRW and usually very full. We thought with a 2 man tent no problem with dog. Nope not even a tent meadow has this supposedly so great campsite, so campers who only travel spontaneously due to the weather with a small tent can not travel to this campsite, we will not go there anymore, a village further Carolinensiel was no problem to set up a tent meadow ready. You should think about something that you don't always have to register online. Pack the car when the weather is nice and off we go.
Inflexible
The stay did not take place inflexible .no space for a small tent with dog

Location Large pitches
Negatives
Toilet emptying only via machine 2€ No bakery or store on the square on the square Sanitary no longer up to date and Toilet paper and disinfectant was very often empty
There you go !!!
The fish stalls on the beach are also no longer recommended, just a
rip-off with very little on offer.
Unfortunately, the pedestrian zone in Schillig has also died out, even the pub is closed.

Advantages
Beautifully situated on the North Sea Online booking possible Dogs allowed Showers free of charge Electricity flat rate (6A)
Negatives
Dog-unfriendly permanent campers Sanitary building closed from 4 am to 7 am. No waste disposal on the site, only paid vending machines Outdated supply Very small lanes and pitches
Partly chaotic, places not up to date
Where can I go with my dog? The big issue in 2023. There are still prohibition signs everywhere, but according to reception, all main paths, except the small alleyways, are permitted. But woe betide you if you bump into a permanent camper. Then you could get a good talking to. With a dog, you're completely lost there.

Advantages
Beautiful location by the sea, great natural beach, clean and tidy (sanitary) facilities
Negatives
Very dog-unfriendly - dogs are not allowed to use the main paths (especially towards the beach), hardly any garbage cans on the premises, long walks to the garbage station
Beautiful location - dog unfriendly
A large campsite on a green meadow by the sea. Actually very beautifully situated right by the sea, with a great natural beach.

Unfortunately, dogs are apparently not really welcome here. You are not allowed to use most of the main paths, especially towards the beach, although they are wide asphalted... paths and you don't have to take your dogs to 'dog-free' areas or directly to the beach. This means that many facilities (bar, kiosk, snack bar, etc.) cannot be used by dog owners as they are located in prohibited areas. The path to the very beautiful natural beach (permitted for dogs) is then a little further and also without the said facilities.

Unfortunately, there is a shortage of garbage cans (for small items of garbage) and the walk to the only central garbage bin is not exactly short.

The sanitary facilities are simple, but tidy and clean. They were cleaned several times a day.

We will definitely be back, but would wish for a more relaxed approach to the dogs.

Location
Negatives
Sanitary facilities too old and dirty. No night's rest (parties until 3am) On the pitch no possibility to empty the cassette of the toilet, only outside the pitch. otherwise expensive machines to empty. Coffee machine partly did not work, because towards the reception the refrigerator car of the young people hung on it, I suspect at least, because they all left on Monday and then there was no under voltage
is slowly becoming the Ballermann
We were there over Whitsun. Last year was really bad, with parties until 3am. I couldn't care less during the day. We were quite close to the mudflats. At night with loud music and shouting without end. I wonder why the security didn't do anything. This was our fourth time there, but it was also the... last time. Then you could only clean the toilet cassette in the machine, which is far too expensive and I was told that I could also tip it in the sink at the other end. But it was blocked again. The machines did not accept my cassette. Only the self-recognizable machine accepted it. 3 hours away, because of course there was a rush at the machines. The place was not mowed, looked as if it had not been mowed for 3 weeks. And holes without end that you could only push the caravan with 4 people. So for us the campsite was finished. On arrival, my partner had to wait until the staff had finished smoking. Could also have happened alone, but both at the same time....naja

Advantages
The proximity to the beach is very nice.
Negatives
Rather unsuitable for dog owners.
Camping with a dog
If you have a dog, you are allowed to leave the site to get to the dog beach. You are not allowed to walk across the campsite, only to the paths marked by signs and the area in which you are allowed to move around with your four-legged friend is very limited. If you do want to go to the kiosk with your... dog and are caught by the supervisor, you will first be shouted at and then treated like a felon.
The staff at the registration desk are not the friendliest either. They probably know that there are always enough tourists and that they can do without some of them.
We won't be back and I would also advise any dog owner not to go to this campsite. There are friendlier campsites and ones near the beach

Advantages
Nice staff, clean sanitary facilities, spacious pitches
Negatives
Very few easy disposal options for toilet cassettes. (There are 2 on the whole site). As an alternative, these "flushing machines" are available everywhere (2€ per emptying)
Everything is fine
Nice North Sea place!

We met permanent camper Hubert from Münster right after arrival, who taught us that we have to keep XY cm distance to everything on our plot and which sanitary we should use when and how :-)

Sanitary facilities very clean and tidy.
Disposal for cassettes is only available free... of charge twice on the large site (1x near the waste disposal area and 1x on pitch 6), which is quite acceptable.
Alternatively, these dishwashers are available everywhere (2€ per emptying).

Beautifully situated!

Niko L.April 2022
Advantages
the location to the beach and water, fixed paths between all plots
Negatives
The seasonal campers barricade themselves in with windbreaks that make you think you are living between fortresses. The toilets are closed at night from 4 a.m. to 7 a.m. for cleaning in all the sanitary blocks at the same time.
Recommended, but more room for improvement every year
We appreciate the short distances to the beach and water in Schillig. However, short distances on this huge site are sometimes one to two kilometers. When we're there, we usually leave the car behind and do almost all our trips by bike or on foot. Unfortunately, the cycle path between the event area... of the beach and the natural beach has been removed. This makes it particularly difficult for me as a "pedestrian". Once the bumpy pavement is completely smooth again, it will be possible to get between the pitches without rubber boots, even in rainy weather. In any case, the firm paths already ensure that cars don't have to drive on dusty roads. Thanks to the clear rules for dog owners, we, as non-dog owners, find it pleasant not to be constantly bothered by them. The cleaning systems for the camper toilet cassettes are quite expensive at 2 euros per emptying, but practical. Unfortunately, the machine makes so much "vacuum cleaner noise" that you are exposed to it all day long on your own pitch. It would be better to keep the units in closed, well-ventilated rooms. The long distances to the garbage dump are annoying. The campsite is very suitable for families with small children if you don't need children's entertainment. Unfortunately, there is no longer the possibility of visiting the indoor swimming pool in Horumersiel, 2 km away, free of charge with the children in bad weather. This makes a stay in bad weather expensive! The price-performance ratio of the pitch rental is fine for us compared to other campsites we have visited. The corona vaccination requirement was no longer plausible for us in 2022, hopefully it will no longer be required in 2023. Unfortunately, some of the staff don't seem to be very communicative. Perhaps they will understand at some point that the first impression on arrival is the most important for every vacationer. Best regards, the Schilligcamper.

Advantages
Seat in the 1st row with sea view
Negatives
Older, used and expensive campsite. Many parts need to be renovated immediately. Power supply sometimes breaks down (only 180V mains voltage). Prolonged noise can occur in the youth campsite area.
A lot of money for little performance
The only reason for my stay was that I was able to book a pitch in the 1st row with a sea view. Price for 1 person with tourist tax and everything 35 €, I find very expensive. Another person would have cost €8/day including tourist tax.
The sea view from the Caraven is great.
Otherwise, because of the... size of the pitch: a place of long distances! But sandy beach around the corner.....
Ailing electrics: After my fridge in the caravan malfunctioned for the 2nd time, I measured the mains voltage: At the site's junction box it was just 180 volts. In the event of a short circuit, a fuse no longer blows but something smokes out, danger to life!
I complained at reception and nobody cared.
According to the internet, the sanitary facilities are supposed to be cleaned and disinfected at night from 4-7 a.m. However, the joints in the shower were black with mold. Does the disinfection fail?
The few sanitary facilities on a pitch of this size should be cleaned more often, as there were already puddles in the sanitary containers in pitch 4 at 2:30 in the afternoon.
The chemical toilet was disposed of using a Camper Clean machine for €1. In 2 out of 3 attempts the machine was defective and where to now.....
The whole campsite makes a very worn-out impression and should be replaced.
At one point on the site there was always a hissing noise when I walked past and water was leaking from a connection. Nobody cares and the willows are growing nicely.
There is a "youth campsite" at the back of field 4. There can be prolonged noise in the area, and young people who think they need to party can be present in other places, as I was told. So the idea of resting after 9 pm is questionable.
Otherwise, read what the other users have written......

Advantages
The location with sea view
Negatives
Dirty sanitary facilities Partly unfriendly staff
Very nice location. Price performance unfortunately does not fit at all
The location is great but otherwise the price-performance ratio is unfortunately not good at all.

We had booked a pitch with electricity, water and waste water, and we only found the electricity box thanks to the help of the neighboring permanent campers.
However, we made do with the outside taps on... the wash house to avoid having to walk across the neighboring pitches all the time.
The waste water pipe was uncovered after we asked twice where it was, but it is not usable for us as a Geka connection is required here and there is not a free inlet as usual.
Some of the staff were rather unfriendly and only responded to questions or complaints with "that's just the way it is".
Unfortunately, there are virtually no leisure activities for children here except for the beach and playground in good weather.
The sanitary facilities are mostly dirty and are probably only cleaned once a day and then only half-heartedly, as there is mold on some of the walls and the fans are also extremely dirty.

The situation
Negatives
That the toilet disposal costs 1€ each time.
North Sea Camping Schillig
We can't understand the sometimes hair-raising reviews.
Some paths are long, but you don't always have a bike with you on the campsite.
Sanitary facilities were always OK.
Normal standard
There are hardly any shopping facilities.
But the infrastructure around it is good.
Be careful with the children's entertainment!
Has something of a sect about it
Bible texts are read aloud and should be memorized.
Focus on religion.

Very disappointing
We saw the report about the campsite on television. So it was clear to us that we wanted to go to Schillig. The booking could only be made online and we were unpleasantly surprised by the price.
Plus point: great location
Minus points: The wrong pitch was already marked at reception.
The pitches are... small and unkempt.
Everything in a very small space so that as many campers as possible can fit on the pitch.
The sanitary facilities are outdated and dirty. They are probably only cleaned once a day.
Noon peace is not observed as cars and tractors drive, loud conversations on the streets.
Long walk to the beach.
Fuses blow if you use 2 appliances at the same time (e.g. kettle and coffee machine).
Toilet disposal is only possible through a vending machine for a fee. Not at all for simple camping toilets.
You can buy bread rolls here in the morning, but nothing else. There is no store, not even a kiosk on the site.
It is a very long way to dispose of residual waste.
Permanent campers are very unfriendly.
We have never experienced this before.
A 4 star campsite looks different. Price-performance ratio does not fit here at all.
Price for 5 stars and performance for a maximum of 2 stars.
Conclusion from 2 weeks in Schillig:
Schillig was not chilled for us.
We will never come here again and are damn disappointed.

Horrendous prices, no customer orientation, overcrowding, even free pitches that can only be booked online is unacceptable for motorhome owners.
Customer orientation
Unfortunately, it is only possible to book pitches online in advance. This is not acceptable for many motorhome owners. Therefore no recommendation!

Advantages
Close to the beach - unbeatable location Many cycling possibilities Clean sanitary facilities Shopping facilities on site
Negatives
Limited movement with the dog The sanitary facilities were closed from 10 p.m. due to corona
Short weekend
We decided to go to the North Sea at short notice. The reservation and registration were easy. The reception was friendly.
The location of the campsite is unbeatable, the beach is within easy reach - including the dog beach.
The children had plenty to do on the campsite.
Movement on the campsite with... a dog is restricted, as dogs are not allowed in some areas.
However, we found the dog exercise area pleasant.
Our sanitary facilities were always clean and well maintained.
We didn't find it so pleasant that the sanitary facilities were closed at 10 pm (due to the coronavirus).
Price-performance = is always relative, we found it a little too high, but it was still within the norm.

Lives from the location
The campsite lives from its location alone. The rest is not to be recommended. The pitches are very careless, unkempt and small. The sanitary blocks are long past their best. Nothing has changed since the nineties, except that toilet containers were added.
The passion of the operators is missing. What a pity.
