Central, quiet in the evening and in green surroundings; according to the site guide (2011) the only site in Wernigerode with electricity. The narrow-gauge railway runs right behind it – a good base for the trip up the Brocken (first steam train around 8 a.m.). No entry at night. Shops 400 m away.

A week in October, sheltered from the wind in the dunes, about 6 km from Westerland and 4 km from Kampen. A long wooden boardwalk through the dunes to the beach. Tip: arriving by ferry via Rømø was much cheaper for our motorhome than the car train.

Right on the Baltic with pitches by the water, most with fresh water, waste water and electricity connections. Own indoor pool with lifeguard, large supermarket with bakery and butcher, heated washrooms with showers without coins. A tree blocked access to our pitch – we were allowed to choose another one without fuss. Eckernförde and Damp nearby.

Wohnmobilstellplatz Karls Erdbeerhof

Motorhome site · Warnsdorf

€10 per night (our price in 2022 – no services at all)

Basic site for one night after driving the single-track roads: no electricity, showers and toilets available but no luxury. The owner was nowhere to be seen; we paid a lady on site. Cows roam freely everywhere.

★★★★★

€26 per night (about €26 to €35 for 2 people, electricity extra (figure uncertain))

  • Showers
  • Toilets

Showers, toilets and a washing-up kitchen. Right next to the swimming pool, which guests of the site can use, and by the large pond for a walk round or a boat trip. The old town with its 14 churches is worth seeing. We were here at Whitsun 2009 for a motorhome meet-up.
