- Sibel Ö.July 2025AdvantagesNothingNegativesIf you're looking for relaxation here, you'd better move on straight away. Unfortunately, the Waldsee Camp in Roth doesn't have much to do with what is promised online.Waldsee-Camp Roth - disappointment all along the line🚽 The toilets are dirty even after supposed cleaning - really unhygienic and absolutely unpleasant.
🏊♀️ Swimming in the lake? According to the description possible - in reality totally unattractive, more like a murky pond than a bathing lake.
📶 Internet? Supposedly available - but doesn't work.... Neither WLAN nor mobile network, you are completely cut off.
🛑 Lunchtime quiet from 1pm to 3pm - including a playground ban!
How do you explain to a child that they're not allowed to swing for two hours? That doesn't feel like a vacation, it feels like an educational institution.
🛒 There is supposed to be a mini-market at reception - but there's no sign of it. And the reception itself is also on break from 1pm to 3pm, although there is little or nothing to do there anyway.
🚧 The barrier to the entrance and exit is also closed during the lunch break - so if you have to leave spontaneously, you can park your car somewhere outside beforehand and then walk for 5-7 minutes. Impractical and totally inflexible.
👎 Children's entertainment? There is - in theory.
But the lady in charge was so unfriendly that even my son, who is actually very open, didn't want to stay there alone. I had to accompany him - not a trace of child-friendly.
🚗 And now for the best part: there are almost no parking spaces outside - parking is prohibited everywhere.
You're in the middle of the forest and yet you're not allowed to park anywhere. Logic? Not at all. It's just badly planned and not family-friendly.
🌲Tree felling work right next to the pitch - completely unannounced, the car was full of dust. You don't need something like that on vacation!
🎯 Conclusion: Lots of rules, little service, no real hospitality. Absolutely not recommended for families. A place to get annoyed, not to relax. We will definitely never come back. "**
Guys, it's just a campsite - not a boot camp. You come here to be free, not to collect regulations. Typical Bavaria, where even the swing needs a midday rest.Automatically translated. - Martin B.August 2022AdvantagesPrice was ok Playground availableNegativesmany permanent campers, some of whom have built very adventurouslySmall, somewhat outdated, but beautiful placeWe used the site as a transit site from our vacation back home and stayed there for 2 days.
We had a relatively spacious pitch, T004, where our camper van (9m) plus van fitted without any problems.
Children's entertainment was offered, which our little one gladly accepted.
The lake wasn't really inviting... for a swim, it was just too green for us due to the temperatures.
There were lots of transit campers.
The site is 75% occupied by permanent campers, some of whom have built adventurous huts around their vehicles. Lake access only possible at one point on the site, but there is a large meadow right next to the site that can be used as a bathing beach.
Bread rolls can be ordered from the restaurant and are ready for collection by 8 a.m. at the latest. Prices are the same as in the bakery, so no extortionate surcharges like on some other sites.
Very friendly staff.
The wash houses are cleaned twice a day by an external company.
Access: depending on where you're coming from, the satnav takes you through a wooded area, but we got there normally via the road. But we also used the other route to explore the area. Certainly very adventurous with a trailer :)Automatically translated. - Alfred G.June 2022AdvantagesWe can't think of any at the momentNegativesEvery small corner is allocated as a tourist pitch, sanitary facilities are cleaned between 8 and 10 a.m., then please go to Sani 2. Access to the lake is limited to a small bathing bay, otherwise obstructed by private jetties and platforms of the permanent campers. The pitches are mostly uneven and unkempt. Too bad about this place.Vacation at the forest lake?We were allocated a plot with the main access road to the permanent pitches on the right, a table tennis table to the front (approx. 5 m), the storage and catering area of the restaurant behind it, a storage shed to the left with a parking lot for the restaurant staff in front of it. no sign of grass....
The janitors of the site are three permanent campers who are the go-to people for everything. They mow the lawn, carry out repairs, but also replenish supplies for the restaurant.
The reception staff are constantly changing but very friendly. Nobody really feels responsible.
We checked three times whether it was really a commercial enterprise (GmbH & Co KG) or a permanent campsite run as an association.Automatically translated. - Sven S.June 2022AdvantagesQuiet location, top for dog owners, Great running, cycling and hiking trailsNegativesDogs are not allowed on the lakeVacation Camping WaldseeThe campsite is well maintained, partial shade is provided, access to the lake is fine for small children.
For runners, hikers and cyclists there are plenty of paths to explore in the forest and surroundings! Paths are well paved in the forest! The sanitary facilities for me are cleaned daily! Of course,... if you walk on the freshly cleaned floor immediately after cleaning, there are of course fresh traces, this as not clean Santitä anrankern is nonsense with the amount of people! I can't say much about the staff, they are inconspicuous! The ones I met were friendly!Automatically translated. - Patrick W.May 2022AdvantagesNatural surroundings, nice people.NegativesUnsightly abandoned permanent campsites.Very nice place with "rough edges"Very friendly and humorous staff and operators.
The site is beautifully embedded in a natural environment.
The approach and driveway is a bit narrow but also feasible with larger mobile homes.
We were a group of 4 and were allowed to stand in a small circle. The camping fee was reasonable. The sanitary... facilities were spacious, modern and spotlessly clean.
The electricity supply was variable and too expensive at 70 ct/kw. The operators bill the electricity by meter after the end of the inclusive portion. Insight into the initial and final meter reading is not granted. This creates discomfort.
I also didn't like the fact that the not entirely stable WiFi was charged at €10 for 5 days. This is part of the service at other campsites.
The bathing lake is beautiful with a beach that may be too small (about 10 meters).
The site is occupied by a lot of permanent campers and many "properties" looked abandoned and rather battered. I recommend the operator to clean up the place. Then the site will become a pearl again.Automatically translated. - Jennifer S.June 2021AdvantagesQuiet location. Dogs allowed. Very clean and new sanitary facilities. Shady. Friendly.NegativesUnfortunately, dogs are not allowed in the water. But the nearest dog-friendly lake is about 10 km away.Camping by the lakeThe campsite is very quiet in the forest. The sanitary buildings were new and clean. It is a bit remote, about 10 km from the nearest supermarket. The staff and all the campers were very friendly. Unfortunately we couldn't try the restaurant as it didn't open again until Friday. Ideal for people looking for peace and relaxation.Automatically translated.
- Helga M.September 2020AdvantagesFriendly staffNegativesSmall pitches, difficult to access. Entire site mainly unkempt.An ugly placeWe were only there for one night. The staff are very friendly, but that's about it. Everything is dominated by permanent campers. Most of these pitches are also unkempt and unsightly. The tourist pitches are very small and most of the ground is hard-packed clay. SAT reception only possible on a few pitches.... However, the staff did not know which pitches these were!
The tiny access to the pitches (approx. 2-3 m wide) is probably due to the permanent campers who have occupied the rest of the lakeshore.
The sanitary facilities are a bit outdated, but clean. In pandemic times, however, I expected a little more, e.g. disinfectant at the entrance to the sanitary building. Apart from the fact that every second washbasin was locked, nothing was done about Corona, but a 1 euro hygiene surcharge was charged per day!
In the restaurant on the pitch there was not enough distance and there was no list to sign in. We will never come back!Automatically translated. - Chris G.September 2020AdvantagesAfter we first received a rejection for a motorhome and caravan parking space, it was made possible after some correspondence. This gave us the opportunity to take part in our regional meeting. Once again, the staff were friendly and helpful. The sanitary facilities are clean and in good condition. Corona guidelines are present on the CP.NegativesThere is no indication on which pitch TV reception is possible. If you are not passing through, you unfortunately have no reception in bad weather due to the tall spruce treesAnother great experienceAll in all a quiet CP. Outlet for various activities. The Franconian lake district in the immediate vicinity.Automatically translated.
- Nadja K.August 2020AdvantagesLong walks, bread roll service on siteNegativesPitches too narrow, old, unkempt sanitary facilitiesIs advertised better than it actually isHow the site got 4 stars is a total mystery to us. The pitches are very narrow and confusing. You always have to walk right past your neighbors. The sanitary facilities are quite old, which is not a bad thing in itself, but unfortunately they are totally run-down and very dirty. They are cleaned once... in the morning, after that everything remains dirty and the towel papers remain empty. Especially in Corona times, they should perhaps be cleaned more often. The access to the lake is very narrow and small. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the lake due to the bad weather. Unfortunately, the barrier doesn't always work and you have to have it opened manually by the staff. The access road is very narrow. If oncoming traffic comes towards you at that moment, you look old. At least with a motorhome or caravan. There are extensive paths around the campsite and you can easily explore the area on foot or by bike. Due to the lack of cleaning of the san. However, we left after 3 nights due to the lack of cleaning of the sanitary facilities and the bad weather. We also missed a proper kiosk or something similar.Automatically translated.
- K R.August 2020AdvantagesFriendly receptionNegativesVery narrow seatsUnfortunately overratedThe campsite is ideal if you want to get to know the surrounding area: Nuremberg, for example.
It does not look very well maintained in places.
The sanitary facilities are cleaned around 8-9 am during the main morning usage period.
The pitches in the cul-de-sacs are very narrow and you need a mover to... position the caravan or help from a neighbor.
The receptionists are very friendly.
The pond is conditionally suitable for swimming. On the "bathing beach" with a width of about 3m swam rolls.
The food in the neighboring restaurant is, well, primitively prepared and doesn't even taste good for the moderate prices.Automatically translated. - Heike L.July 2020AdvantagesThe campsite is harmoniously embedded in the forest.Negativeshave not found anyBeautiful days at the WaldseeThis is the second time we have been to the Waldsee with our Shih Tzu and we love it. The peace of the forest and the walks with the dog are pure relaxation for us. We had very friendly neighbors again and would love to come back.Automatically translated.
- Rolf R.October 2019AdvantagesPeace and quiet and proximity to NurembergNegativesLimited shopping opportunitiesSightseeing tourSuper clean place (sanitary). Always friendly. Due to the proximity to Nuremberg and the peace and quiet, we stayed 6 days and made our castle and palace tour from there. It is really recommended if you want peace and quiet. Thanks to the staff.Automatically translated.
- Lisa J.July 2019AdvantagesSuper excursion destinations nearby, nice staffNegativesBad-tempered permanent campers, access to the lake too small, no garbage cans at the playgroundGarden gnomes and bickering permanent campersGreat location, friendly staff, lots of excursion options! Unfortunately, access to the lake is very restricted as the entire lakeside is occupied by permanent campers. If you look at the water, you mainly see waving German flags. It was difficult to get two pitches next to each other at short notice. It only worked out on the second attempt. The pitch allocated to us was rather less nice despite early booking and longer occupancy.Automatically translated.
- Gregor C.July 2019Advantagesvery quiet, in the middle of the forest. good starting point for excursions by bike.NegativesnoneVery nice and quiet CP, great starting point for excursionsDirections: please do not follow the navigation system, as you will be directed via a forest road (gravel) from Hilpoltstein / Hofstetten. Otherwise the route via Eckersmühlen is well signposted. There are a few parking spaces in front of the campsite if you have to wait in front of the reception. Reception:... Very nice and very friendly. Checking in was very quick, we reserved (and paid) in advance. Pitches, layout: There is an area for permanent campers, at the front by reception are the day guests. The pitches are large, at ground level and partly shaded. You should definitely make a reservation here (by email, reception is difficult to reach by phone). And pay attention to the opening and closing times! The sanitary facilities are very modern and clean, everything is in perfect order here. Kiosk: you can get a few groceries at the reception, there is a restaurant at the campsite and a second one directly in front of the campsite. The nearest supermarket is in Eckersmühlen, otherwise you can go shopping in Hilpoltstein. You can order bread rolls in the restaurant for the next day. WLAN is available for a fee (1 hour = 1 EUR, 1 day = 3 EUR, ...). Mobile data services on cell phones: reception is sometimes very poor here! the guests at the CP change daily, it is a transit CP. So there are different campers every evening (Germans, Dutch, Swedes, English, ...). Nevertheless, it is very quiet. Excursions: from here you can go hiking or cycling: to Hilportstein, Roth, Schwabach, Nuremberg. There is also a former railroad line (Gredl-Weg) that has been converted into a cycle path. The lake is very shallow (max. 1.5m deep!) and therefore very warm (sandy bottom). Conclusion: highly recommended! We will certainly be back.Automatically translated.
- Holger D.July 2019AdvantagesVery quiet, directly on/in the forestNegativesThe sanitary facilities are clean, otherwise rather low standard. Lake not permitted for dogsVery quiet, nice staff but.The sanitary facilities were clean, but the standard was rather low. The small bathing lake is nice, but closed to dogs. During the time we were there, the quiet times were observed and so we were able to sleep well. All in all, it was a positive stay with some drawbacks.Automatically translated.
- Elisabeth G.July 2019AdvantagesVery nice locationNegativesMilitary training area within earshotMilitary training area within earshot. Not suitable for dogs sensitive to gunfireThe campsite is beautifully situated in the forest with many walking paths for dogs. Not recommended for dogs that are sensitive to gunfire as it is close to a military training area. In addition, transit campsite for northern Europeans heading south and therefore heavy arrival and departure traffic on the site. Despite the very nice location, we won't be backAutomatically translated.
- Carolin H.June 2019NegativesVery unfriendly staff. No consideration is given to seating requests.Very loud due to children playing, staff unfriendlyWe were there for 1 week - I had asked in advance for a quiet place. I didn't get one, instead it was right next to the children's playground. In the evening it was usually going on until well after 22:00. Not a trace of peace and quiet... Although it was quiet at lunchtime including a ban on driving... cars and a closed barrier from 13:00-15:00 and from 22:00. Extremely unfriendly staff both on arrival and departure. When I asked on departure if we could stay 10-15 minutes over the official occupancy time so that we didn't have to rush, I was snorted at that the barrier would then no longer be in operation (departure is 12:00; barrier lunch break is 13:00-15:00). When I asked that the barrier would still be in operation for another hour, I was told that I could get over the 15 minutes...Automatically translated.
