Does your ideal holiday include nature, hiking and endless evenings under the starry sky? Then Camp Hammer, a campsite in the German district of Eifel, may well be your next destination. The campsite has an idyllic location in a green valley by the Ruhr river, which is great for playing and paddling. At night the lights go out and you can enjoy an impressive starry sky. The campsite has prioritised sustainability and respect for nature.

Star gazing

The campsite is very clean and consists of two parts. The ‘main campsite’ has spacious demarcated pitches and a field for tents. Dogs are not permitted in this section of the campsite. Over the bridge there is a second field. Your faithful four-footed friend is welcome here. Both sites have their own toilet facilities, which are kept very clean. What is unique here is that, in addition to normal toilets, you can also choose to use several environmentally friendly compost toilets. If you would like a comfortable stay overnight and do some star gazing, choose one of the two star-gazing huts.

Enjoying nature

The people who come to Camp Hammer come to get in touch with nature. This thinly populated region has very little light pollution, which means that you can enjoy the impressive starry sky in the evening. It is also possible to participate in a special stargazing excursion. The pony walks are recommended for children. The children may ride the ponies as well. There is also a small playground, table football, a ping pong table and a recreation room where you can play games. Nature itself is, of course, the biggest playground.

Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

Travelling party: Family with children <4 years

Wanderurlaub.
Wenn man ohne Rezeption auskommt, schön. Aber auf eine freundliche und kundenorientierte Rezeption kann man sich hier offenbar leider nicht verlassen. Solch persönliche und angriffslustige Gastgeber erlebt man nicht oft. Schade, denn das nimmt einem Sicherheit und Entspannung, die man laut Schildern hier finden soll und auch sollte. Wie passt das zusammen?

Ein wirklich gut und freundlich geführter Platz. Die Quantität der Sanitäreinrichtungen ist zu optimieren. Ihre Sauberkeit war vorbildlich. Das zwagsweise Duzen ist zwar im Kommen, aber nicht alles, was kommt ist gut. Der Gast wird so nicht in seiner Entscheidungsfreiheit respektiert.
