from 13 reviews Write review

Gern-Campinghof Salem is situated on the outskirts of the village of Salem, less than ten km from Lake Constance. This peaceful four-star campsite with eco-label is managed by the Gern family. It is a true family campsite with an amiable, hospitable atmosphere. Children are allowed to help look after the animals in the animal enclosure.

For touring campers

The campsite consists of level grassy fields along straight cul-de-sacs. To compensate for the difference in height of the slightly sloping landscape, some terraces have been laid out. Standing between the camping pitches are deciduous trees and tall hedges, although the vegetation offers little shade in summer. The campsite is neatly laid out and is well maintained. It consists mainly of touring pitches, but there are 25 permanent pitches as well. In addition, there are two mobile homes and one trekker hut available for rent. 

Petting zoo

Gern-Campinghof Salem is a true family campsite. It is especially popular with families during the peak season. In low season it is mostly frequented by senior citizens. There is lots to do for small children. In addition to an outdoor playground, there is an indoor playground and a recreation area. However, the most popular attraction of this campsite is the animal enclosure with ponies, horses, rabbits, goats and chickens. 

The most beautiful lake

At a distance of some eight hundred metres from the campsite lies the Schloßsee, a beautiful lake which is great for swimming. A ten minute walk through the fields will get you there. The water is clear and always a few degrees warmer than Lake Constance. Swim to Robinson island, or walk there by crossing the bridge. There are clean pebble beaches (bring your aqua shoes!) and beautiful lawns with ample shade.

Wir waren nur eine Nacht da, da unser Urlaub endete. Aber wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Sehr kinderfreundlich. Kann ich allen empfehlen, auch Campern ohne Kinder. Ganz herzlichen Dank für diese tolle Einrichtung und Gastfreundlichkeit.

Es stimmt einfach alles. Wir kommen seit mehreren Jahren hierher. Unsere Hunden lieben die Deggenhauser Aach sehr, die direkt am Campingplatz vorbeifliesst.

Travelling party: Seniors

Sehr grosse, sonnige Plätze, Wasser- und Stromanschluss nur einige Meter entfernt. Für den Hund gab es gleich beim Empfang ein spezielles Hundepäckli mit Goodies und weiteren Ueberraschungen. Am Ostersonntag lag vor jedem Camper ein Ei vom Osterhasen ;-). Hinten eine grosse Wiese zum Spielen. Kleines, aber feines Restaurant. Familie Gern organisiert ein abwechlungsreiches Wochenprogramm. Man merkt, diese Familie macht die Arbeit richtig "gern" und will, dass sich die Gäste rundum wohlfühlen. Mit dem Ferienbus sind die umliegenden Sehenswürdigkeiten gut erreichbar. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Wir waren zum 2x hier und sind rundum zufrieden. Die Kids können springen und mit den Tieren frei herumlaufen. Die große Spielwiese bietet genug Platz für alle möglichen Ballsportarten. Sehr ruhig und Kinderfreundlich. Der Schlosssee in der Nähe ist ein Badeparadies.

Für den Preis etwas besseres erwartet. Sehr unfreundlicher Platzwart. Mit Corona wird sehr locker umgegangen
