Thank you very much for your nice review :-)
Tip for the next time: Single washbasins are located on the right side in the washhouse - 2 cabins showers and 2 cabins single washbasins per gender.

Advantages
Beautiful large pitches Close to Witzenhausen Directly on the Werratal cycle path Small beer garden on site Friendly operators
Negatives
Wash house a disaster W-LAN only limited
Nice place with flaws
It was our first time at this campsite and we received a friendly welcome.
Our pitch was large and close to the wash house as requested.
But the wash house...it was always wet in all three ladies' toilet cubicles. Apparently the toilets were not properly sealed at the bottom. In one toilet the water... ran out into the corridor every day.
It was probably cleaned regularly but as I said, it was always wet.
The showers were ok, although quite old, but clean.
The free W-LAN worked sometimes and sometimes not.
The beer garden is very simple...a hut where the food is prepared, in front of it a gravel place with a tent and tables and benches. Not very cozy, but the burgers and fries were very tasty.
All in all, the place still has a lot of room for improvement.

Good morning,
Thank you for your review.
unfortunately there was a burst water pipe in the wall, which is why puddles kept forming, sorry for the inconvenience.
Best regards

Advantages
☆ Good value for money: fair prices for the facilities and location on offer ☆ Clean sanitary facilities: Regularly cleaned and the facilities are well maintained ☆ Friendly staff: Helpful and courteous ☆ Beautiful location: Quiet and close to nature ☆ Good facilities: Power connections, WLAN, barbecue areas, playgrounds ☆ Order and safety: Well-kept paths, clean pitches, safe surroundings ☆ Community events: festivals or activities such as the Easter bonfire that promote togetherness
Negatives
The pitch is tidy and clean, but not necessarily top modern. For guests who expect extensive leisure facilities or modern infrastructure, the campsite could be somewhat limited.
A place to relax and unwind - a small campsite with charm
The campsite offers excellent value for money.
The pitches are spacious and clean, and the sanitary facilities are thoroughly cleaned every day.

We particularly liked the fact that no shower tokens are required for hot water and the toilets are always very clean.
The operators and all the guests are... friendly and helpful, and the quiet location makes for a relaxing stay.

A particular highlight was the great Easter bonfire and party, which created a wonderful community atmosphere.
We would love to come back!

Advantages
Beautifully situated on the Werra, in mid-August still many free spaces on a barely parceled out lawn. From our point of view (pensioners) very quiet place. Bread rolls inexpensive and tasty. Operator and staff very friendly.
Negatives
Reception and sanitary facilities are getting on in years, but clean.
Choosing it as a place to pass through was not a mistake
We had chosen this site as a stopover for the return journey from the Baltic Sea. There are more conveniently located sites on the A7 / A5, but we like to visit new places. We have not regretted our decision. However, we wouldn't necessarily recommend the site for a longer vacation. If you want to go... canoeing on the Werra, you're in good hands here. To our delight, there was no entertainment, so everything was quiet. We tried the snack bar on the site, currywurst and chips are highly recommended, to our surprise there was also delicious chilled white wine, and this far away from the wine regions at moderate prices. Unfortunately, we were unable to enjoy the burgers we had planned for Sunday as the place was incomprehensibly closed.
With reference to reviews from previous visitors: when we were on the square, the electricity and water pipes were being "renovated" from the road to the square.

Rating Camping Werratal
Unfortunately, I simply have to address the essentials here. This place should never have been opened by the authorities for safety and hygiene reasons. The shortcomings in detail:
- No fire extinguishers on site
- In the event of a fire, there is no water available for use, as there is no water pressure... at either water tap!
- for safety reasons, the barrier must always be open for an exit!
- The dishwashing sink is located directly opposite the toilet disposal point
- Showers are dirty, too few and too small!
- Waste water disposal is crooked and slanted so that the tank cannot be emptied completely!
- On one tree a waste bag holder was screwed directly into the tree!
- the laziness of the operator of the canoe trips is unbeatable ! 70 to 80 year old and older people have to put the boat (weighing approx. 80 kg, maybe even more) in the water themselves and pull it out of the water again after arrival and also carry it upside down on the trailer for € 24 for a 2 hour canoe trip! Owner stands next to it !!!
- No jetty available but only a grid which is very slippery! Other landlords have plastic jetties with a spacious platform! No risk of injury!
- The water withdrawal on the pitch is surrounded by a car tire in which stale and foul-smelling water collects. Disgusting !
- The beer stand and the bratwurst stand are certainly no longer in line with commercial conditions.

Conclusion: in my opinion, despite its good location, this site is too expensive and cannot be recommended for the reasons mentioned above!

Manuela K.May 2024
Advantages
beautiful, small, clearly laid out site in the Werra floodplain Beer garden from Thursday-Sunday with regional sausages and delicious pizzas as well as freshly tapped beer from the neighboring brewery
Negatives
I can't name any
idyllic, beautifully situated campsite
I had a great and relaxed stay at the Werratal campsite and would love to come back! There were fresh bread rolls every morning from 8:30am (where the baker still bakes the rolls himself and no machines). The team at the campsite was always polite, warm and helpful. No matter how busy it was, there was... always a friendly chat and smiling faces! Top!!!
There are even tickets for the outdoor pool diagonally opposite for guests from the campsite, where you save €0.50 per ticket. There was even a welcome box for my dog at check-in. It doesn't get any better than this, I'll definitely be back.

Since the campsite has been in the hands of the Bürmann family, a lot has changed for the better We are there as permanent campers The campsite is located in a beautiful area, you can relax on site and enjoy the pretty town or go on endless excursions from here The beer garden with a small snack bar is a great addition
Negatives
I can't really name it The new owners know that there is still a lot to do but it will be done. We are happy about many things that have already been done
Successful restart
The Witzenhausen campsite is a great starting point for many excursions
Campers have space and don't have to squeeze into pitches

Second home
A quiet, natural place that has been run in a very hospitable and warm manner by the new operator couple Wiebke and Michael since 01.01.2023.
The new beer garden and many other innovations have improved the quality and hospitality of the site.
As permanent campers, we feel very much at home here!!!

Advantages
Location of the pitch. Shady trees. Clean sanitary area.
Negatives
Advertised with a beer garden, which only opens on weekends. Unfriendly office opening hours. Poor bread roll service. Minimal shopping facilities on site. Overflowing garbage, chaotic garbage dump.
You could make more of it
We stayed at this campsite for a week with a group of kayakers. The location of the site is wonderful, directly on the Werra with entry/exit options. Witzenhausen is within walking distance. The sanitary facilities are simple but clean. The organization and management of the site could be significantly improved. The new operators still have to grow into their new tasks.

Answered from Campingplatz Werratal October 13, 2023
Like everywhere else this year, there is a shortage of staff, which is why the beer garden cannot be staffed 7 days a week from morning to evening, so they opt for the whole weekend from Thursday to Sunday. Would you like to explain the unfriendly opening hours of the office? Monday-Saturday 8:30am-1:00pm... and 3:00pm-7:00pm Sunday 10:00am-1:00pm and 3:00pm-7:00pm. My husband and I cover these times - without employees and with a 4-year-old daughter. Bread roll service is available 7 days a week with baked goods from a baker from Bad-Sooden-Allendorf who still gets up at night and forms the rolls himself. Since the end of June there has been a large skip in the garbage area, which is emptied regularly when called. As you will have noticed, we took over the site this year, it was very well attended and the response was immediate. It is a pity that such things were not addressed in a personal conversation, we were always on site and approachable. Kind regards from Witzenhausen, W.Bürmann

Roland P.May 2023
Advantages
Located close to the city, so several discount grocery stores and numerous stores can be reached in a few minutes by car and bicycle. The neighboring outdoor pool is also within walking distance for unaccompanied children. The banks of the Werra river, with the possibility of launching and retrieving boats, are right next to the campsite. Canoe tours with rental boats and safety equipment can also be booked from here.
Negatives
Road traffic noise and noise from a railroad branch line just perceptible during the day; little traffic at night.
Three weeks of the very best relaxation
Pleasantly original campsite without frills; with simple but always clean facilities. New, very friendly young operator couple, who have been making a noticeable effort to improve the offer since January 2023. We felt very comfortable at this campsite for three weeks.

Advantages
The campsite is in a good location, right next to the nature park. 5 minutes by car to the center of Witzenhausen. Operators can always be reached as they live right next to the campsite.
Negatives
You can only get water directly at the entrance. Garbage (organic) always overfilled, despite the fact that the place was not full.
1001 rabbits
We were at the campsite shortly after the opening due to Corona for Men's Day 2020. We had a great spot at the end of the campsite with a view of meadows and fields. We were greeted by 1001 rabbits, which live everywhere. Right next to the campsite is the Werra river, where there is also a mooring for the canoes for hire. You can also leave your dog there for a swim. By the way, dogs are very welcome. The surrounding area is ideal for hiking.

Again and again
We have been coming back to the site for over 20 years. There is still nature on the pitch, beautiful old trees, shade or sun. No division, you can position yourself however you like. The Werra cycle path is right next to the site. For us it's always the same. Witzenhausen, arrive, switch off, start cycling. The sanitary facilities are always clean

Advantages
Location Werra and city.
Negatives
Sanitary facilities.
In need of improvement
I have been to this place over 30 years ago. Now I've been there for the second time and have the impression that not much has changed. A meadow square, broken up and divided up by trees, boulders and flower pots. Location: in an arc of the Werra and only a 10-minute walk to the old town. The main road... and railroad on the other side of the Werra are clearly audible; the loud freight trains also run at night. Currently (October 2016) the open-air swimming pool diagonally opposite is being renovated. Considerable construction noise can be heard from there until 6 pm. The sanitary facilities are old. The showers are very cramped, with the exception of a single, more spacious shower in the washroom. No heating in October, although it was already quite cold. Everything in the sanitary facilities looks technically and visually unkempt. During our stay of 4 days it was only cleaned once. No drinking water on the pitch, must be fetched from the sanitary building. No gray water inlet for WoMos. Fee: Motorhome + 2 people, electricity and showers €17/night.

Good for a visit to Witzenhausen
It was a really good campsite for us. We were on our way back from the north of Germany to the south and visited our friends in Witzenhausen for two nights. We were free to choose our pitch on the meadow. We like pitches like this on large meadows under trees. The children can jump and you always have... them in view. We could also see the playground from a distance, so our 4-year-old could go there on her own. The infrastructure of the campsite was perfectly fine and we also got on well with the manager. The bread roll service worked really well, so we had nothing to complain about. We are therefore happy to award ****, as there is always room for improvement!

Good accessibility; fast, problem-free registration;
Negatives

Ideal for taking a breather for 1-2 days when passing through;
Stayed at the campsite for 2 nights in August 2016 with the camper van to catch our breath on the way home. The CP is close to the village and is easy to reach from the highway. The sanitary facilities are dated but clean. Registration went smoothly. The nearby town center of Witzenhausen is worth seeing (approx. 20 min. walk).
