from 9 reviews Write review

Camping Ulmbachtalsperre is a few kilometres outside of Greifenstein in the German Hessische Westerwald. Here, you camp in a hilly setting where you can go on lovely walks and cycle rides through the forest. The campsite is by the Ulmbachstausee reservoir. This lake offers plenty of options for water recreation. The campsite has a private sunbathing meadow, sandy beach and swimming jetty.

What accommodation options are there?

The campsite covers the full west bank of the lake. If you want to stay at the campsite as a touring camper, you will probably end up on one of the well-maintained camping fields by the water. It is also possible to stay in a charming tiny house.

Lots of water fun in the Ulmbachstausee

One of the reasons that this campsite is so popular is due to the wonderful grass meadow by the lake. This meadow opens out onto a sandy beach. It is the ideal spot to go safely into the water. There is also a swimming jetty and there are two pontoons. So, playing and swimming fun are guaranteed! Furthermore, you can go on the lake with your own boat or standup paddleboard.

Explore the surrounding area

Camping Ulmbachtalsperre is an ideal starting point for taking lovely walks and bike rides through the forested hills in the surrounding area. And there is plenty more to do in this part of Hessen. You can, for example, visit one of the zoos, museums, castles or charming villages in this region. Burg Greifenstein castle is about a 10-minute drive from the campsite and it is famous for its Baroque church and clock museum.

Heute dort gewesen. Gastronomie super und auch sehr freundlich. Weiter so ! Tolle gepflegte Liegewiese, schön angelegter Strand. Allerdings sollte man hier echt aufpassen wenn die DLRG mit dem Motorboot im "Badesee" fährt. Diese nehmen auf Badegäste null Rücksicht und rasen wie wild über das Wasser und somit durch die Köpfe der schwimmende Gäste. Interessiert diese auch herzlich wenig.. Leben retten sieht anders aus denn das ist m.E. Eine Gefährdung. Da sollte sich die DLRG massiv schämen für solch ein Verhalten !!!
Zum Campingplatz kann ich weiter nichts sagen weil wir nur Tagesgäste waren. Jedoch sieht die Anlage sehr gepflegt aus. Habe auch selten so saubere Toiletten an einem Badesee gesehen. Alles in allem ( abgesehen von der DLRG ) 5 von 5 Sternen

Wir waren zum zweiten mal auf dem Platz. Man merkt, dass der Laden auf dem absteigenden Ast ist und der Pächter kommendes Jahr aufhört. Die Sanitäranlagen verfallen und sind alles andere als sauber. Auf dem Platz war Theater bis nachts um halb eins. Man hatte zeitweise das Gefühl man gastiert in einem Hundeheim oder auf dem Kinderspielplatz. Von Erholung keine Spur. Wir sind dann vorzeitig abgereist. Natürlich wurde uns die bereits bezahlte Gebühr auch nicht zurückerstattet, trotz der berechtigten Kritik. Aus unserer Perspektive einfach nur unterirdisch und nicht zu empfehlen für Menschen, die ihren Urlaub in Ruhe verbringen möchten...!

Ein landschaftlich schön gelegener, gepflegter Campingplatz.
Freundliche Betreiber und saubere Sanitäranlagen.
Wer gerne schwimmen geht kann dies tun.
In der Pizzeria kann man sehr gut essen gehen.
Was will man mehr.

Wir waren im Oktober am Campingplatz an der Ulmbachtalsperre und haben ein paar schöne Tage hier verbracht.

Gemütlicher privater Campingplatz mit größerem Anteil an Dauercampern, an einem kleinen Stausee und Waldrand gelegen. Hilfsbereites Personal, Sanitätsanlagen sind OK und sauber. Gute Wege zum Ausführen von Hunden und für ungestörte Spaziergänge. Gemütlicher Biergarten mit leckerem Essen und sehr freundlichem Service!

Sehr schöner, großer Wohnmobilstellplatz. Saubere sanitäre Anlagen. Umgebung sehr schön zum Wandern und Radfahren. Und vor allen Dingen sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Preis- / Leistungsverhältnis stimmt.

Habe den Campingplatz erstmals in diesem Frühjahr besucht und habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Der private Camping hat eine überschaubare Größe, an einem Stausee gelegen. Um diesen geht ein gepflegter Rundgang, von dem aus viele erholsame Wanderwege abzweigen. Es gibt schöne Badestellen, auch gut für Kinder geeignet. Die Sanitäranlagen sind sauber und gepflegt. Auch Hunde kommen auf dem Campingplatz zu ihrem Recht und genügend Auslauf. Besonders erfreulich ist die Pizzeria am Eingang mit großem Biergarten und freundlichem Service. Die Speisen sind lecker, die Preise günstig.
Auch Brötchen zum Frühstück können bestellt werden.
