Camping Altschmiede

I was here last week. It was super beautiful but there were many disadvantages, no parking spaces. Unpleasant staff, swimming pool is ice cold, no rules are enforced, my family was bullied by a large group of drunken people who were playing football, they shot at cars and a girl was hit in the face, had a bloody nose and just laughed. We also made it a nice holiday ourselves. Very nice view and canoeing was fantastic.

Nice campsite to stay for a week. Swimming pools and slides are great fun, even for older children. Unfortunately, there are no sunbeds at the swimming pools, but there are sloped lawns. If you are in the middle of the campsite, it is quite a walk to the showers, toilets, etc. There is entertainment, but don't expect much more than a tour of the campsite and doing crafts. Lots to do nearby; canoe rental at the campsite, lots of walking and cycling / mountain biking, the city of Trier, etc. Shopping can be done just across the border.

The place is beautifully located, right on the water - but the street on the other side of the Sauer is very annoying and incredibly loud.Sanitary facilities are sometimes ok and sufficient - at some times of the day they are disgusting and dirty.Biggest point of criticism - sleep was out of the question; It's more like being at a festival campsite - loud music from speakers, drunken, shouting tour groups partying late into the night. There was no groundskeeper who would keep an eye on something like this.A reason for us not to come back again.

Fantastic camping and plenty to do for children.

Great campsite to stay at! We were there for about a week and it was enough for us. Although that is of course personal. As far as the campsite is concerned, it is a nice campsite with a number of facilities. So you have the bread cart that goes around the campsite every day where you can get bread. Personally, we thought the plumbing was coming to the end of its life. It was fresh and clean, but you could tell it was old.What we thought was a shame is that when you shower you have to leave your cubicle every 5 minutes to throw in a coin. In addition, the pool was not heated, which could make it quite cold when the sun is not shining.

Top campsite with beautiful swimming pools and slides and lots to do in the area, highly recommended

Very large/long campsite.Grass on many camping sites withered, understandable with a lot of tourism.Receptionist/owner(?) understands Dutch well, but is clearly unhappy in her work, makes little eye contact, sighs a lot and quickly finds it too "busy" as it seems.The spots on the water offer beautiful views, the rest of the spots overlook other camping equipment placed in lanes. There is little contact because everyone is parked with their backs to each other. Cars are parked near the campsite and drive back and forth, a lot of which makes it feel unsafe for young children to let them play on their own.The playgrounds are fun and located on mountains, but in terms of safety I doubt whether they would be approved according to Dutch standards, I expect them to be inspected by German inspectors.The animation does not continue throughout the season, but during the time with animation, the mainly Dutch volunteers(?) do their very best to make something fun of it. This is great! On Mondays and Fridays, in the busiest weeks of the year, there are children's activities twice a day, such as crafts and bingo, both very nicely organized and free in the price of camping. Children are then picked up with a tractor and wagons, making it a kind of train, which stops at many locations throughout the campsite, so that every child has the opportunity to come along. Very positive experience!Sanitary building is extremely outdated. Although the cleaning team does everything they can to keep it clean, this is almost impossible due to the condition of the building. Taps have virtually no pressure, taps fail completely, taps that do not get hot, toilets that are clogged, showers where the cold and hot water do not or hardly mix, showering with coins outside the shower cubicle 1 euro per coin, and then you have about 5 minutes to undress, shower and be gone before it turns into ice cold water. The shower block is very hard and has been adjusted remarkably, so that the entire cubicle, which is just too small, is soaking wet and so are your clothes/towel. The rear 2 showers are better. (Rear sanitary building) washing up facility is very "compact" so that when it is "rush hour" you are almost pressed against each other and you are forced to place your things on a nearby wall.Most toilets do not have the option to hang up your toilet paper roll, so you will have to hold onto it at all times. I find that uncomfortable, but that may be personal.The swimming pool has quite cold water and is intensely busy on hot days, so there is little space, but my family loved the slides, which went very fast, making it really cool, especially for older children!There is no general parking space, so if you are at the back of the campsite and you are less mobile, you will hardly be able to get to the reception/canoes/swimming pool. I experienced this as very sad.The campsite is very large and the pitches are very small/cramped. There are 2 washing machines and 2 dryers at the reception (sanitary room for it) a wash costs 5 euros, but given the number of people at the campsite, washing is almost impossible.The canoe rental that you pay for is fun and challenging, but you cannot go from the final destination back to the beginning and you will have to do this by public transport (free) or on foot. No one will help you get out of the canoe, it is a kind of raft on plastic bottles, making it impossible for people with moderate mobility. You also have to take your canoe out of the water yourself and empty it of water. In addition, there are no waterproof barrels available, which means that taking valuables with you is actually ruled out. This can be overcome by bringing your own waterproof barrel.The reception has a small shop where you can get the basic necessities.All in all, the location of the campsite is great,

Great location, clean sanitary facilities, nice swimming pool! Great stay here!

Very nice place, great swimming pool.So I can only say that the operators were very nice.There's probably a reason for taking your own toilet paper, but I didn't think it was a bad thing.You could pay a little more attention to the sanitary and flushing station otherwise it was very nice to come back.

Best campsite in our eyes. We have been coming there for 35 years and will continue to do so. The location is great, all the staff are friendly and committed. The sanitary facilities seem to be cleaned from morning to evening. If it is dirty, it is due to the behavior of the guests, who like to leave messes behind. Richard family, you are simply great......
