Wonderful Campground
We had a wonderful stay at the Hafenmühle campground and felt right at home from the very first moment. The campground is truly a little paradise, especially for kids. The daily treasure hunt for gemstones was a real highlight every time and was eagerly anticipated.
We also really liked the beautiful... swimming pond, which provides plenty of fun, especially on warm days. The pump track is also a great idea in principle and was a hit with the kids. However, it could use a bit more maintenance, as it was already quite overgrown in places.
The hosts are extremely friendly, warm, and easygoing. We were even able to extend our stay by another day on the spur of the moment, which wasn’t a problem at all.
We really enjoyed our time there and will definitely be back. We highly recommend it, especially for families with children!

Great campground for kids
The best campground for kids that I know of!
The Koch and Caudron families are so welcoming and always there to offer help and advice.
Hunting for gemstones in the swimming pond, the stream, and on the beach is just the best.
The sports field and the bouncy cushion are the kids’ hangout spots, where... they’re always making new friends.
We’ve already been to the Harfenmühle with six different grandchildren and have been regulars for 11 years—according to the kids, it’s the best vacation they’ve ever had.
Highly recommended 👍.

Family vacation (children ages 6 and 9)
Unfortunately, our week of relaxing family time has come to an end. Our children had a wonderful time at this well-maintained resort. They were able to move around freely since everything is very easy to navigate. There’s plenty to discover, great playgrounds, and the gem hunt was a highlight every... morning. The bakery delivers super delicious rolls. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks to the entire team—you can really feel their passion for what they do!

Great campground with a highlight in the morning!
A very well-maintained campground; everything is clean and tidy. Very idyllic, right in the middle of the forest. The staff is extremely helpful. We forgot our camping table, and they helped us out right away!
Highly recommended. Especially with a child :) Very child-friendly.

A Wonderful Vacation with Our Grandson
A very nice campground. The restrooms are top-notch. Highly recommended, especially for families with children. Plenty of play options, and the morning gem hunt isn’t just for the little ones. The staff is super friendly and helpful.
All in all, highly recommended.
This definitely wasn’t our last vacation there. I’m already looking forward to the next time.

A Wonderful Time During the Hot Days
Our time there as a family with four children was absolutely wonderful. Even though it was almost 40 degrees, we found shade by the natural pond, where it was really comfortable. The owners were super nice and laid-back. The other guests around us were also really pleasant. All in all, we had an amazing time!

Lovely and peaceful
We had a great spot—better than the one we'd reserved. It was lovely under the trees and close to a place to cool off.

A very nice, cozy spot surrounded by greenery
This was my second visit this year! A very nice, quiet campground with plenty of play areas for kids; the mill pond is great and safe since you can stand anywhere in the water. Good restaurant on site, top-notch restroom facilities, a bread roll delivery service—everything you need. Wi-Fi works well—but... it’s also nice that if you don’t use it, you don’t get any cell service out there in the woods anyway :) Very friendly, helpful staff! There’s plenty to explore in the area; this time we visited the gemstone mine—a great, interesting tour. So we’ll definitely be back once, or maybe twice, this year :)

A really great nature campground
We were there for a long weekend. The place is very nice and has everything you could need. The Wi-Fi login process is a bit cumbersome and could be simplified. There’s really something for everyone, especially the kids. The food is great, too.

A true gem that's sure to make you feel good
The kids felt right at home and had a blast. Which, ultimately, means one thing for us: we had a great time. The staff was super friendly, and the welcome was truly warm. The activities for kids are fantastic—the gemstone hunt, in particular, is a real highlight. Anyone with kids—or who’s young at heart—should... definitely visit this place at least once.
Overall, the site is a gem, just like the surrounding area. It just needs a bit of polishing in a few spots to reach its full potential and quality.
What do I mean by that?
A few examples:
The site’s location naturally results in limited cell phone reception. That’s understandable in principle, but the Wi-Fi isn’t available throughout the entire site either, and it’s only free for one hour twice a day. In my view, that’s no longer appropriate for a five-star site.
Some areas of the campground seem as though they need a little more attention. The restrooms and showers are clean, but they feel rather cold and have a swimming pool-like atmosphere. The signage along the paths is partially overgrown with grass.
Something was being burned in a stove in the washhouse, which was emitting thick smoke from the chimney and smelled strongly.

It’s important to me to note that these are minor issues that I wouldn’t mention if I didn’t personally have a certain expectation of what a five-star campground should be like.

Our campsite was good; electricity, water, and sewage were available. However, I was glad that our awning was only 2.5 meters wide. We had a short walk to the washhouse.
Our overall impression remains clearly positive: We had a wonderful time and can definitely see ourselves coming back—provided we’re still welcome after this honest review.
Best regards to the entire team and thank you very much for the lovely stay!

Advantages
Great for children, beautiful swimming pond,
Negatives
Loud due to children's noise and road
Not for adults looking for peace and quiet
The bouncy cushion directly in front of the apartments is unbearable for adult guests without children! The fan is on from morning to night, the muffled "banging" when the children bounce and the constant (8 - 22:10) screaming and shouting of the children. This was not relaxing for us.
Kitchen could... be a bit better equipped and mattresses were too thin for us. Otherwise really great apartments - unfortunately in the wrong place. Compared to other campsites, this one seems a bit "worn out". Reception and restaurant staff are very friendly.

Great place for families
Great site in the middle of nature.
The wash houses are clean and attractive.
The gem hunting is great fun for young and old.
Improvements would be the food situation, there is no snack bar with fast food for children and take-away food in the restaurant would be good.
There is also a lack of shade in the children's playgrounds.

At Whitsun, the campsite was very busy with lots of families and everyone had a lot of fun. The prices for pitches are very high! There is no WLAN included except for one hour a day. Before leaving you had to queue for the few toilets. The hiking trail through the forest is confusingly marked and led into a swampy area. The bathing lake is far too small for such a large crowd and the lovely fresh stream water is totally murky.
