nothing negative to report
Really great campsite with very nice operators
We booked by phone at short notice and were given a very warm welcome. Our pitch was great (47), for our little one (5) it was right next to the playground and water, the junior (12) was content with the lake and the football pitch.
We will bring bikes with us on our next visit (you can also hire some on site).
Very nice staff on site.

A great campsite that we haven't visited for the last time :)

Give none. It says great place for guests with dogs. As I have a large dog, I was told she wasn't allowed in. 5 minutes later, a couple with a rather large poodle were allowed in. Dog racism is the very last thing. Never again, not even without a dog!!!!!!!

Absolutely bad! DOG ASSISTANTS
People with dogs leave it alone. Dog racists at the checkout! An absolute cheek.

Advantages
Beautiful location
Well-kept place in a beautiful location
We drove to the site at the end of May when we were passing through. Despite a public holiday and an extended weekend, we were able to get a pitch at short notice and without any complications after making a telephone enquiry beforehand. The site has a beautiful location by the lake, there is a bread... roll service, a small kiosk and a restaurant. There are great hiking opportunities and of course the lake also offers good opportunities for swimming, rubber dinghies etc. in summer. The cleanliness on the site and in the sanitary facilities is fine. All in all, a lovely spot!

Advantages
Large tent & pitch area; quiet, very nice sanitary facilities
Negatives
Somewhat expensive
A nice campsite with lots of space
A nice campsite where everyone talks to everyone, the sanitary facilities are in perfect condition. The main road, which is not far from the campsite, can be heard a bit, but it's still okay!

Advantages
Clean and well maintained
Negatives
;-) nothing to complain about
very pleasant
We (49+49 with dog) decided to go camping again after a long time and were very impressed by the site. Especially the toilet facilities (new) and the kitchen and dishwashing buildings (new) are in top condition. There is a restaurant on the site with friendly staff and a good soul in the kitchen. We... tried a wide variety of dishes and were never disappointed. Our dogs were also well received. The permanent campers were friendly and helpful throughout. There are communal areas with table football and lots of games. The lake is clean, although very algae-covered in parts due to the weather. The shower cubicles are very spacious, with washbasins, shelves, heating and plenty of room (each cubicle for itself). The rooms for the campers are only accessible with a chip card and are therefore always very clean. We will definitely be back.

Advantages
Very good food in the "PONTE ROSA" Peace and quiet Campfire with fire bowl and HK barbecue possible
Negatives
Poor internet connection. Toilets should be cleaned more often at peak times. Hot water card is not very convenient. Many dogs.
Very nice with potential for improvement
The campsite is located approx. 3.5 km from the nearest town in the middle of nature directly on the lake. The pitches are very well maintained, but somewhat sloping. With the tent you get a bit on an incline. The power supply is sometimes too far away from the pitch, which means that power cables are... necessary. The playground and sandy beach are very suitable for small children as the water is shallow. The bathing area is very clearly laid out and demarcated. Unfortunately, there is a lack of older trees throughout the site, which means that neither the pitches nor the beach area offer sufficient shade. On the negative side, some of the permanent pitches are very run-down. Not all, but some resemble a caravan graveyard. However, short-stay campers should not be bothered by this, as the areas are clearly separated. The sanitary facilities are modern and are thoroughly cleaned once a day. Unfortunately, this is not enough at peak times, which is why there is chaos in the toilets in the evening. A shower card is required for hot water. The costs are reasonable, but you always have to be careful not to leave the card lying around. My opinion is that it would be better to charge 1 euro more and do away with the readers.

Lutz Kilian C.August 2017
Advantages
+ great location + nice staff + well-kept site + clean sanitary facilities + excellent price/performance ratio + good gastronomy
Negatives
- Too much dog excrement on sunbathing lawns
Positive surprise
We stayed at the campsite with our caravan for almost 3 weeks in August 2017. We had a quick look at the site at Easter and booked pitch 50, directly opposite the sand playground, for our vacation. I have to say that I was skeptical about what to expect based on the comments about the site. In short,... we were really pleasantly surprised overall. Here in brief what we noticed POSITIVELY: + great location on the lake. You can find out the distance to the nearest town in advance from well-known online map services and shouldn't be surprised. + The surrounding area is perfect for hiking and cycling. + During our visit, it was really easy to book and extend or in some cases (with friends) even shorten the booked time, despite the (partial) summer vacation period. We had initially booked for 2 weeks, with the option of a third week. In the end we only stayed for 18 days, but that was no problem at all. + Generally friendly staff at reception / registration. + Excellent price/performance ratio. We have never paid so little money for a pitch with such good service. + Very clean sanitary facilities in the main building. Although there was a large youth group on the site in the first two weeks, the sanitary facilities were always very clean and never too little. We did not use the new (half-finished) building. + With (small) children, the pitch opposite the sand playground is perfect. In the morning at breakfast the little ones can go off and you can keep an eye on them at all times. + The new wash house for washing dishes is very bright and friendly. In my opinion, the dishwashing facilities are absolutely sufficient. + The canoe rental is open during the vacation season and you can borrow different canoes. + Fresh bread rolls in the morning during the vacation season, with the request to order the day before. Otherwise you have to live with what has been ordered in excess. In the low season when it gets really quiet there are no longer bread rolls every day. + The grounds are kept clean and well maintained. Yes, this also means that the hedge is trimmed or the lawn mowed from time to time. In hot and humid summers, almost every day, of course outside the rest period. + The gastronomy surprised us positively. Unfortunately, we only ate there on the last day of our vacation. The quality and value for money were good. It's not a Michelin-starred restaurant, but we enjoyed the home-style cooking. What we rated NEUTRAL: x Many youth groups in the form of tent camps. Most of the time the parents and supervisors traveling with them are worse than the children/young people (alcohol consumption, loudness). If you are sensitive to this, you should choose a pitch further away from the tent meadows. x the hot water card system. I have no problem paying 4 cents for 10s of hot water (when showering, washing up costs half as much). You buy the card with 10 € credit, what you don't need at the end you get refunded. It's fair because those who use more pay more. Nevertheless, it may not be up to date for some people (but as I said, otherwise it would be added to the price of the overnight stay). x There are a lot of permanent campers and some 'rotten' permanent camper pitches. However, in my opinion, this is not an issue in the more remote corners of the site and for tourist pitches. x There are only central water taps, but in our opinion there are enough of them. Comfort pitches with a water connection or drainage are not available, even for money and good words. What we noticed NEGATIVELY: - Dogs are allowed on the site (not a bad thing in principle). However, there seem to be many pet owners who don't care where their dog does its business. Not really the fault of the campsite operators, but at some point sunbathing lawns full of dog excrement are disgusting, especially with small children. All in all, we really enjoyed our vacation at the campsite. Our children often ask when we are going back to the campsite at the Krombachtalsperre. We will definitely be back.

Kiosk poorly stocked and too expensive
Very nice vacation
We have been permanent campers on this site for over 20 years and it is always nice to arrive. The site is very clean and well-kept, the operator, groundsman and super nice receptionist. Our friends, who often visit us with their caravans, feel the same way

Reinhard L.June 2017
Advantages
Large pitches, restaurant on the site, idyllic location Suitable for groups, very shallow waters, good starting point for WW tours
Negatives
Desirable: better service in the restaurant, permanent bum pitches - everyone builds what and how they want - a pity, cleanliness of the sanitary area/season
For basic water sports, splashing and splashing about in the water and for youth groups
We were two couples, each with a caravan, on this site for a week in June 2017 in beautiful sunshine. The welcome was friendly. The site is very quiet, away from any road, but this also means having a long entrance to the site - and this is very, very narrow for oncoming traffic with a caravan and requires... absolute skill when passing each other. After registering, we drove to our pitches, but they were blocked by cars parked in front of them. So, we looked for the owners and shook our heads when we saw their reactions as we parked our cars where they were parked before - on our pitches. The pitches on the Z2 site are really very large and we set up opposite each other with our friends so that we had plenty of space between our awnings to play boul or badminton on our pitches....but unfortunately we were disturbed far too often, actually all day long, by other campers of all ages who cut short the walk to the toilet or shower by strolling across our pitches between our cars - regardless of whether we were playing a game or had set up our barbecues in the middle...let everyone think about it as they wish.... Above our seats was the restaurant with the possibility to sit outside - very rustic, clean but also with an unspectacular offer and slightly overpriced for what you get. Unfortunately, they don't offer breakfast service - opening hours from approx. 10°°-11°°° !?! (Guys, it is/was summer time...!) In the same building is the kiosk, the shop or whatever you want, with a very manageable offer - well, we rather went to the town 6 KM away, where there are all the well-known markets. Next to the rustic wooden building is a sanitary complex.... As soon as we entered, it was an absolute sauna and the sweaty cleaner immediately confirmed that there was no proper ventilation. Unfortunately, the showers are very cramped, too cramped! Hot water is available there and at the washbasins via a code card, which has to be inserted into a device in the shower or next to the washbasins and as long as it is in there, the seconds count - whether water is running or not - the more seconds, the more expensive it is to wash with hot water. The toilets were clean at first but, as on every campsite, there were and still are pigs who shat all over everything and left it that way - it was a shame that the next day at lunchtime, the toilet still looked like this....(it's the start of the high season!) The water of the Krombach dam is not far from the tourist sites - it is clean and very shallow - you can go a long way in until your swimming trunks get wet - but you have to like the very muddy and algae-covered bottom - ideal for children to splash around and youngsters to romp about, but less suitable for swimming, as you have to go far out and surfers and small sailing boats also make their rounds there. At our time, there were lots of groups of tents with children and teenagers on the site, who raged, screamed and had fun in the great weather until well into the night, well past 11 pm. This was not particularly pleasant after a long day, which you wanted to end comfortably with a glass of wine in front of the caravan. With around 400 permanent campers and about 100 tourist pitches, you inevitably pass many permanent pitches as you stroll around the site, but they don't deserve to be called that - junkyard, this term is more appropriate for far too many "permanent pitches" - it's simply incomprehensible that the site management allows such garbage dumps. It smells downright rotten, like old plastic and rubber, meter-high weeds overgrow piles of wood and stones, "caravans", some with broken windows, rotting away full of verdigris - who would want to rent one or the other free permanent pitch there or next to it...? All in all, as a transit site if you are traveling from the north to the south on vacation, you can make a stopover here, group camping for bikers, young people and children or even for a short vacation "on the doorstep" on bridge days, this site is definitely a good choice - but I would not choose this site for an annual vacation. Please dear readers and campers, what we have written here is our perception of a campsite - not everyone thinks and feels the same way. Even at other times many things can look and be found quite differently - so let everyone form their own opinion.

Advantages
Beautiful pitches by the lake
Negatives
Too loud for too long in the evening
Nice place, but some things to improve
We were on the site for a long weekend with 3 adults and 4 children. Great, large pitches, helpful permanent campers. So far so good. In the restaurant endless waiting times, although we were the first guests, easily 1 hour to wait for a few simple dishes is long with hungry children. Quiet times are... not observed, at 11.00 pm there was still loud noise from older children and teenagers on the adjacent sunbathing lawn. From 23.30 everyone could sleep. On Saturday morning at 7.00 am!!! Then the madness started. As a new sanitary block was to be built, the workmen fired up the hammer drill and used a circular saw to carry out the final work on the formwork scaffolding. They finished at 8.00 a.m. and took a break. The concrete truck arrived at 11.00 am. On Saturday in the nature reserve at the campsite. It was great. The reception said it had gone badly. Nevertheless, a very nice place, hopefully there won't always be construction going on.

Advantages
Location, peace, nature
Quiet idyllic place
We liked the great location of the campsite. Pure nature, tranquillity and lots of leisure activities (but often only by car). The owners are friendly and helpful and the swimming facilities are ideal. Dogs are welcome. You can make great excursions by bike, e.g. on the old railroad embankment from Rehe... to Rennerod or towards Driedorf. Great café in Rehe. Fuchskaute is also worth a visit. Plenty of shopping facilities in Rennerod. Highly recommended if you want to get away from it all.

On the water with lots of wind. IDEAL for surfers.
Negatives
No shopping facilities nearby. NO WIFI BECAUSE OF THE MANY TREES IT IS SAID.
a beautiful camping pitch with small quirks
We stayed at the campsite for 3 days. Everything was great, but there were problems with the organization. We had dinner in the restaurant and waited an hour for our food. The owner is also a grouch, the service was nice, but we were only told why we had to wait so long when we asked. Buns and snacks... are available in the kiosk. You can order rolls in advance. There is a ticket worth 10.00 euros for showers. But then the showers should also let out more water. Cleanliness is fine and so is our pitch. Right on the water and lots of permanent campers. There is also a playground and go-karts to hire for 2.00 euros an hour. Everything is quiet. The only thing is that the campers don't take the night's rest very seriously, even if it says night's rest from 10.00 pm. Who controls that????

Peace and relaxation and that's what you find there, also always an ear to talk to, bread rolls can be pre-ordered every day. The prices are OK
Negatives
Very small store, could be a bit bigger.
Great place in a beautiful landscape
We've been to the Krombachtalsperre twice with our dog, it's always been great. July in the heat, September in the rain, but you can switch off and unwind. The staff are very friendly😊 and the dogs are very welcome ❤️👍Sanitary facilities are OK and clean, we will definitely come back....

Negatives
Car indispensable for errands Kiosk prices sometimes unnecessarily high
Beautiful place, definitely again soon
We were at the campsite with our children (both under 7 years old) at the end of August. Late arrival (after 8 pm) was no problem, I had called in the afternoon. About the site: very quietly situated by the forest and directly by the lake/reservoir. Approach through the small village of Rehe, partly... through a residential area, surprising for caravan teams at first. The signposting of the CP in the village could be better, especially in the dark there are few signposts. Our sat nav wanted to guide us along an access road, which would have been - let's say challenging - to drive with the caravan in the back. Otherwise, a paved road leads to the campsite entrance, so no problem even in constant rain. Check-In Registration was also quick and easy on Sunday evening. However, the night porter gave us a bit of a fright as he had no more open arrivals listed in the system for that evening and the site was probably fully booked otherwise. However, the situation was quickly resolved: we had already been "pre-checked in" when we phoned in the afternoon and the documents were already on the office desk. Pitch We had already chosen our pitch in advance based on photos and the site plan. Our expectations were exceeded. Located directly on the lake, neighbors only to the left and partly in front, otherwise a clear view over the lake and the sunbathing lawn. This gave us the great advantage that both the playground and the beach were visible from the awning and within hearing and calling distance, so the children could go off to play on their own. The distances to the sanitary facilities, the kiosk and the reception are absolutely fine. I still found the bike very practical - it was just under a minute's ride to the scullery. The pitch itself was well-kept and level. Aligning the caravan went quickly. The ground was no problem for pegs and tent anchors. The satellite dish was also quickly set up and aligned. The only drawback was that it was a long way from our pitch to the electricity tapping point. For the first night, I had to borrow an extension cord from the night porter despite having a 20 m cable reel and 10 m caravan power cable (which, incidentally, was no problem for him). The next day I bought a longer cable in Rennerod. Fresh water was also available at the electricity tapping point. Facilities Nice playground for the children with lots of sand and some equipment. Various vehicles could also be borrowed (Kettcar, bicycles, tricycles etc.), which our son used regularly :-) There is also a restaurant on site (the chips were good, but we didn't try anything else). The kiosk has the essentials on offer, but is sometimes very expensive. We mostly pre-ordered bread rolls the day before, which is particularly recommended if you want larger quantities or different types of bread rolls. We did get a few normal rolls for the four of us on the two days we didn't pre-order. Otherwise, the kiosk had the usual: Newspaper, milk, vienna, Nutella, but also a few hygiene articles. Sanitary facilities There is a large and quite modern main sanitary block with attractively designed rooms. There is also one of two flushing facilities here, as well as a separate room for disposing of the mobile toilets. You could rinse thoroughly here using a water hose. In my opinion, it was well organized and clean. There is also a second sanitary building (container solution) where it is not as modern, but just as clean and a little quieter at peak times. Hot water is only available everywhere (shower, washbasin, sink) via a chip card for a (reasonable) fee. Staff We didn't have any bad experiences with the staff. We were always advised and helped if necessary. There was always someone to talk to, day or night. No overly friendly posturing, but appropriate to the situation and solution-oriented. The groundsman was flexible when it came to small special requests on our part, you never had the feeling of annoying the staff. Leisure The site naturally invites you to go swimming when the weather is nice, as the beach is right outside the caravan door. According to the website, the sandy beach is rebuilt every spring. During our stay, the children were able to dig extensively. On two days, the weather also allowed us to swim in the Krombach. A swimming/bathing area is separated off with a chain of buoys. This area was also cleaned one morning during our stay, i.e. the seaweed was removed. There were also hardly any stones on the bottom in this area. The entrance is also sufficiently shallow for small children and non-swimmers. There are no sudden drop-offs or similar. There is a floating island at the far end that you can climb onto. Adults over 1.70m can also stand up to it. I would describe the water as clean. I found it pleasant. If you walked through the bathing area in bad weather or later in the evening when it was less busy, you could see schools of small fish. Otherwise, you can go hiking and cycling around the dam. My son and I rode our mountain bikes up to the dam wall at the neighboring campsite. Apart from 50 meters before the dam wall, this was only possible on forest paths or hiking trails away from road traffic, so it is also recommended as a family outing with smaller children. Infrastructure As already mentioned at the beginning, the campsite is located away from the small town of Rehe. In Rehe itself, I only discovered a bakery next to a petrol station when driving through. This offer will probably also be available in the campsite's own kiosk. For everything else, you have to go to Rennerod, about 10 minutes away by car. But you'll find everything there. Every well-known supermarket is represented here, as well as DIY stores [needed a cable ;-)], fashion stores, bric-a-brac stores, restaurants, snack bars, etc. I can't say anything about cinemas and the like. There is a swimming pool in Bad Marienberg that helped us and the children through a rainy day. In summary, you can get everything nearby, but not without moving the car. Incidentally, the car costs €3 per night if you want to leave it on the pitch. The parking lot directly in front of the campsite entrance charges €1 per night. It was worth the extra charge to me, the size of the pitch meant that it was still possible to park next to the camper van. Conclusion We can recommend the site with a clear conscience and will definitely come back again. We particularly appreciated our pitch location and the manageable size of the pitch. If you are looking for a 5-star all-inclusive site with all the bells and whistles, this is not the place for you. On the other hand, you get quiet, relaxing days, the children have plenty to do and you can really relax by the lake. The price/performance ratio is absolutely fine, especially as there are no high season surcharges.

Advantages
- directly at the lake - quiet location - clean and well-kept - friendly staff - child-friendly
Negatives
- Lake unfortunately muddy and overgrown with aquatic plants
Very nice and well-kept campsite
My girlfriend and I (both in our mid-20s) spent a great weekend here. The site has a beautiful and quiet location right on the lake. Everything is very well maintained. The sanitary facilities are modern and clean. The staff are very friendly. The manager goes round the site every evening to check that... everything is in order and that everything is OK with the guests. The site has a lot of permanent campers, but also offers enough space for short-term campers. Camping is possible right by the lake. There is a large sunbathing lawn with a playground and a small sandy beach. The lake is a reservoir and ideal for swimming, surfing and sailing. Unfortunately, the bottom of the lake is quite muddy and overgrown with aquatic plants. These are a bit of a nuisance when swimming, as you are repeatedly brushed against them. The lake is monitored by the DLRG and has a cordoned-off area with a small swimming island. There is also a small kiosk with a bread roll service and a restaurant serving German cuisine (not tested by us). Bicycles and go-karts can also be hired. The price-performance ratio is very good in our eyes. We paid just under 10 euros per person per night (including parking right next to the tent). Hot water is charged extra via an electronic card (15 seconds hot shower for 4 cents and 2 cents for rinse water). The site is great for people of all ages, also ideal for families with small children. We were very satisfied and would come again at any time.

Space is ideal for short trips
Great location right on the lake, clean tourist pitches, good value for money Unfortunately, some permanent campers are not so particular about keeping their pitches clean and tidy. What a pity!
