If ever there was less than one star,  I would give it

We talked about an early arriving,  came when we said

And as we called the reception when we arrived ( as they said) the women on the phone was unfriendly and hang up on us

We had to find another sleeping place( what we luckily found)...

Would not recommend it


Unfriendly personnel and bad organisation

Nice campsite, near train station.  Great fun with little river. Bathroom facilities are clean and free hot showers. Also wheelchair friendly. For children there is a nice playground and walk through the forrest. We haven’t tried out the bistro, but we did order fresh bread every morning. We took the train one day to visit beautiful Luxemburg city.

Great spot in valley near train station

We booked a pod for one night through booking.com. When arrived we were advised that we need our own bed linen or sleeping bags, which we did not have. They said it it written somewhere!? A chalet with bed lining was offered to us. For different price of course. Chalet was very nice, clean and spacious. 
Location is very quiet and surrounded by woods. For our taste is a bit to low in the walley. Like being in a volcano crater where you can see the sky only above your head. We do prefer more opened space.
Unfortunately restaurant is closed on Thursdays. So we have to have breakfast somewhere on the way.

Nice place, but with limitations

What a great place! We stayed for two nights so had time to explore the area a bit. There are two nice trails crossing the campsite. The camping was quiet and we could chose our own place so ended up next to the river with plenty of space and great views. The owners are very nice and welcoming. We had dinner one evening which was very nice. The sanitary block is maybe a little dated but functioned very well despite a low outside temperature. 

Wonderful pitches along the river

Visited the place with our own tent. Nice big pitches, several playgrounds, a nice shallow river, clean and sufficient bathrooms. Looks like a perfect campsite for families who want to spend serious money on camping, as the place is very expensive compared to others around.  

There are some caveats however:
- Beware of the shower timer, especially when taking your kids along. After 6 minutes it blocks for 5 minutes.
- Advertised as a family place, they charge a cutlery surcharge ("couvert") if you ask for an additional plate to share one of the disches with the children. Been travelling for a month, visited more than 15 restaurants in Luxemburg, France and Germany. Didn't happen once, until we got the bill in the kid-friendly camping Bistrot. Unbelieveable.
- Some mayonnaise or ketchup with the fries for the kids? Pay extra for a small touch of ketchup. Wasn't this a kid-friendly campsite?
- If you're selling ice-cream at the price of a good restaurant, the quality should be up to standards. Topping a "Dame Blanche" with a cheap out-of-a-plastic-bottle chocolate-like sirop is a definite no-go!
- Restaurant and bar are closed on Thursday. If I'm on holiday, I want holiday every day ...

After paying serious money for the pitch and people, I left feeling uncomfortable having to pay for all the small extra's and paying to much for necessities such as bread (1,80 euro for a baguette, really?).
It's not about the money, it is about the feeling that you are being forced into the commercial mill. If I'd want that, I go to Disneyland. If you're fine with that, the place is great.

Very nice kid-friendly campsite ... but very profit oriented and some caveats ...

This is our 2nd visit to this campsite and I am in no doubt we shall return again. They are nice size pitches and friendly hosts. We do not feel excluded despite being one of the only English families on site. There is daily animation and this year we tried out the restaurant on site. It was very good food and the service was spot on - the chips were amazing so had some to take away the following night. 

The only downside is the dated shower and toilet block - however they were always kept very clean. 

All in all considering the cost this campsite represents extremely good value for money.



2nd visit

This is a review of the camping site bar-restaurant (Bistro) ONLY.  The service was fine within a friendly atmosphere.  Reasonable prices for good food overall.  The spare ribs did not taste anything special and I am not sure whether a sauce was used to prepare them.  However I have never seen such a portion of meat, huge!  In fact there would have been more than enough for two adults.  Just a shame the terrace was too small to enable eating outdoors.
