Ulrike B.August 2025AdvantagesVery cordial hosts (operators) Beautifully laid out and very well-kept site Shady, semi-shady and sunny pitches with electricity, fresh water and waste water Located directly on the Ems with a small bathing area Very nice and very clean sanitary building, small kiosk, bread roll serviceNegativesYou might not believe it, but I can't think of any disadvantages. Maybe that there is no TV reception in some places because of the beautiful old trees.Pure peace and relaxationWe received a very warm welcome from Andreas and were able to choose a pitch at our leisure. The pitches are all on grass and have different vegetation. There is a very nice walk along the field, through a small forest, along the Ems and the Dortmund-Ems Canal. You can walk through the fields to Steinbild/Walchum... or in the other direction to the Düthe lock. The surrounding villages can also be reached quickly by bike. We really enjoyed our 5-day stay there and will definitely be back. A clear recommendation from us.Automatically translated.- Harald L.August 2025AdvantagesThe friendly, conciliatory operators and many other things.NegativesnonePlace with realistic top ratingsA fine place with the aim of the young operators to serve a certain clientele and they do this very well, although they have only been in operation for a short time. Chapeau.
The 99 percent positive reviews of this place are shared by all of us.
There will and should always be dissenters.
Thank you very much and good luck and skill to the great
campsite team.Automatically translated. - Alexandra D.August 2025AdvantagesOwners very nice, flexible and helpful. Super sanitary facilities with hairdryers, spacious showers and everything is spotlessly clean. Large pitches and great location on the Ems. You can borrow a SUB and there is also a bathing area where you can take your dog tooNegativesUnfortunately, charcoal barbecues are not permitted. However, you can borrow a gas barbecue for a donation to the tip box. You can only use the plateau from 15hTop address for relaxationWe had a perfect last day of our vacation! Our daughter went stand-up paddle boarding for the first time and had a lot of fun. It's great for cycling or walking along the Ems. We can really recommend this place! And the sanitary facilities are the best we've ever had on a campsite!Automatically translated.
hinerk m.July 2025AdvantagesIn contrast to other campsites, this is not an advantage.NegativesThe access road to the site is in a poor condition (dirt track). The access to the reception is also primitive. The path to the sanitary building, the garbage station, the emptying chemical toilet, the disabled toilet consists of coarse Tuscan gravel with a thickness of 2.5 - 5 cm. This is not suitable for people who have limited mobility and are dependent on walking aids. The overall maintenance of the site leaves a lot to be desired. Good shopping facilities at least 16km away The price for what is offered (nothing) is disproportionately high. Telephone queries on the answering machine with the request for a call back are not dealt with. E-mails are not answered etc.More appearance than realityMy experiences at CP Emstal from camper <-> camper:
Unfortunately, there are always narrow-minded and intolerant neighbors who can spoil the stay.
It seems to me that the owner hardly cares about the concerns of the guests, makes slogans, advertises without end with all means, and takes his "work" on... the PC more important, while the owner spends more time with her garden and her dogs. There are no rules to maintain a certain amount of privacy here. Disturbing noise seems to be a foreign concept to the owners. The previous owner had clear rules (which every camper adhered to), which are completely absent today. The main thing is to make money. Long live anarchy.
The exhaust air system and underfloor heating were taken "out of service" for cost reasons. Doors removed and windows opened instead. Long live the foreseeable growth of black mold in the shower area.
Incidentally, dogs have become a nuisance on the site. They used to be limited, which worked very well.
The large meadow, which used to serve as a place for activities with grandchildren such as kite flying and badminton, is gone or in poor condition (grass is almost 1 m high) and this campsite is unsuitable for people with pollen allergies.
I think the green area functions more as a dog toilet and is more a home to ticks and countless 4-legged gray-brown animals that may visit you in the awning at night. Former animal species (birds of prey that caught mice, among other things) are hardly to be seen.
Despite all efforts to create the impression of nature conservation, there is a lack of real knowledge and understanding here, including knowledge of human nature.
I hope this information helps you in your decision making - don't be blinded by the "appearance of so-called do-gooder reviews (neither here nor on Google)".Automatically translated.- Birgit N.July 2025AdvantagesQuiet, very nice campsite.

- Bernd B.July 2025AdvantagesWe were guests at the campsite last weekend and received a very warm welcome. Everything was perfect from the very first moment. The site is great, the pitches are very green and large. I would rate the sanitary facilities with all the trimmings at 5* +. Everything makes a well-maintained impression. It's quiet there and you can't hear any car noise, perfect for relaxing. You should definitely bring your own bikes, as there is a beautiful network of cycle paths along the Ems.

We will definitely be backAutomatically translated. - Christine S.June 2025AdvantagesQuiet location directly on the Ems. No road traffic perceptible. Not far from kilometers of cycle paths along the Ems and the Dortmund - Ems Canal. Nice, quiet campers, many regular guests. Sanitary facilities impeccable. The new operators have created some amenities in the last few months. These include good WLAN reception, cozy benches or hammock directly on the shore... etc... Nadine's radiant smile puts us in a good mood and Andreas' willingness to help with the many tasks is admirable. We wish them much joy and success in their new challenge!NegativesThe access road to the site is somewhat uneven and quickly becomes muddy in wet weather.Enjoy nature and tranquillityAs we had already visited this campsite several times, we would like to make the following comment: We found electricity billing according to consumption to be fairer, as many caravans do not have air conditioning and mainly only the refrigerator or the economical lighting needs electricity.Automatically translated.
Sönke F.June 2025AdvantagesLocation Peace and quiet Sanitary facilities Friendliness on the pitch Size and equipment of the pitchesNegativesThe access road / entrance to the campsite could do with a new gravel surface, but that's complaining on a high level ;-)Top-managed campsite in a beautiful and quiet locationWe were last at this wonderful campsite in 2019 and have now (2025) spent the Whitsun weekend there with our caravan. The new operator couple Wanke took over Camping Emstal fresh in April 2025 and you can tell from their positive energy how they want to carefully optimize and design the site according... to their ideas. It makes a very fresh impression. However, what could be improved on the site? The pitches are all very generously sized and - apart from a few undulations - are also fairly level and very easy to drive on. The sanitary building is as well maintained as ever and the layout is almost luxurious. The service and facilities are unchanged - even under new management. The campsite is in a very idyllic location. You can't get away without your own means of transportation (bicycles are ideal), but this also perfectly describes the target group of the campsite: here you are looking for peace and quiet and closeness to nature and you get this in the best possible way. This relaxed atmosphere is also noticeable in the guests.
If there was anything to optimize, it would be the access road to the campsite. It has become quite bumpy and as you wouldn't be able to find the site from the access road without a sign, it's hard to believe that this is the access road to the site. No big deal, but this entrance could perhaps be tackled. But I'm sure that this will be on the agenda with the new operator couple sooner or later anyway. I wish them all the best with it. We'll be back 😊!Automatically translated.- Michael S.June 2025AdvantagesVery quiet location, great sanitary facilities! Nice operator, large pitches. Not suitable for children, no playground.

M. S.June 2025AdvantagesEverything...

The surrounding area could perhaps do with one or two more restaurants, but "the place can't help it".Perfect camping experienceI have already seen many places - here everything is just right for the camper looking for peace and quiet, whether with a motorhome, caravan or tent.
We will definitely be back.
Keep up the good work and 🙏Automatically translated.

A very well-kept site that is run with heart and soul.NegativesFully and completely satisfiedSuper resortWe have just spent a week at the Emstal campsite. We were given a very warm welcome and were able to approach the owners at any time with questions.
The site has very large pitches which are fenced off with trees and bushes.
The sanitary building is very well maintained and there are very large shower... cubicles.
We can highly recommend the site, if you like absolute peace and quiet (only the cuckoo and birdsong could be heard) and cycling along the Ems, you should definitely spend your vacation here.Automatically translated.Answered from Campingplatz Emstal May 18, 2025Dear Birgit, thank you very much for your appreciative review.

Paddling on the Ems or Dortmund-Ems CanalNegativesNo disadvantages foundSuper relaxationThe Emstal campsite is highly recommended for campers who want peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings. The new owners, the Wanke family, have been responsible for the site since April 2025. The pitches are at least between 150 and 200 square meters in size and are surrounded by hedges and trees.... The sanitary facilities are very spacious and spotlessly clean. The site is very suitable for water sports enthusiasts. There is a small headland with a small sandy beach right next to the site. You can easily launch your canoe or paddle boat here. As the Ems only has a weak current, you can paddle upstream as well as downstream. After approx. 300 m you come to the Dortmund-Ems Canal, after another 5 km you can paddle into the coastal canal. The Ems, which flows directly past the campsite, can be paddled upstream to the weir approx. 7.5 km away. There is a nice jetty and a bench here where you can take a break. The Emsland is also very easy to explore for cyclists. The Emsland cycle map with the junction system can be used to plan beautiful tours.Automatically translated.Answered from Campingplatz Emstal May 16, 2025Hello Hans-Werner, thank you very much for your appreciative reviewAutomatically translated.

- Ute F.May 2024AdvantagesThe tranquillity of the site, even during the day, the excellent sanitary facilities, the beautiful large pitches, the surroundingsNegativesNoneVery nice location in the middle of natureThe Emstal campsite is located just outside Sustrum in the middle of nature on the River Ems and close to the Dortmund-Ems Canal and is very well maintained with hedges, bushes and trees. The pitches are generously sized and have electricity, water and waste water connections. WLAN is available. The... site is ideal for individualists who love peace and quiet. It is also very quiet during the day and you can only hear the chirping of many different birds. The operators are very polite, friendly and value peace and quiet. The sanitary facilities are very clean and well-maintained and the best we have ever found on a campsite. The disposal station for motorhomes is easily accessible. There is a kiosk with some food, drinks and a bread roll service. A restaurant with outdoor seating and good food is located directly at the Düther Schleuse and only about 1.5 km from the campsite.Automatically translated.

We were there with a couple we were friends with and had a place next to each other - which was not appreciated. At 8:50 pm the campsite manager came and insulted us loudly... about our volume - we had no music, ate and talked and laughed - just to remind you - it was Friday evening at 8:50 pm!!!! The mood in the evening was of course over, we only whispered :-(
We left the very next day.
We have been campers for a long time and are definitely considerate of our fellow human beings, but nothing like this has ever happened to us.
We can only recommend avoiding this site!Automatically translated. - Erika K.June 2022AdvantagesSanitary facilities extremely spacious and clean at any time of day or night.
