The campsite at the alpaca enclosure is very popular with Roland's guests.

Hanna gives it 5 stars and writes:

"Roland has a passion: his three alpacas. And he transferred this passion to us. The children were allowed to help out and were taught a lot about the alpacas. The crowning glory was a hike with the alpacas.

We can recommend this campsite without reservation. Roland is a great host.

Many thanks for the wonderful time with you!

All the best"

We would love to come back!"

This is an experience that some children will certainly remember. After waking up, you will be greeted by the cute little goats outside the camper door, who are happy to be petted. In consultation with Stefanie, you can even feed the goats. There is also a large trampoline on the meadow, which can be used by the children and goats ;)

Without exception, the adventure camping site impresses guests and receives very good ratings.

Maurice awards 5 stars and writes in his review:

"We wanted to take our caravan "Toby" out again after 2 years. We had 3 destinations in mind, but Stefanie and husband Tobias clearly won the race :) Who wouldn't want to stand in the middle of a herd of goats and look into the cute, curious eyes of a goat, watch them and stroke them? We wanted to, so much! Our hosts Stefanie and Tobias have what many dream of. A large property with plenty of space for goats, various chickens, a peacock, small quails, two beautiful dogs, goats and sheep. The booking went smoothly and quickly. We were warmly welcomed on the day of arrival and immediately felt very comfortable. If you want, you can camp with the hosts Stefanie and Tobias on a meadow orchard in the middle of the small herd of goats, or you can also be self-sufficient with your motorhome or caravan. We were briefed briefly and our adventure could begin. The spot we chose for our "Toby" was in front of the goats' pasture, right next to the large barn. Whenever we felt like it, we sat down or lay down in the grass with the goats, who eyed us curiously and, if they allowed it, gave us pats. Stefanie showed us the other animals on the estate and no matter what or how many questions we had, she answered them all very kindly and patiently! We would like to say thank you for the many pleasant conversations, your trust and the feeling of being welcome at your place. Helpfulness, friendliness and always a sympathetic ear are certainly always available here! :) We certainly had it. It was a real pleasure for us, dear Stefanie and Tobias :) Best regards, Maurice, our daughter Klara and Ilona"

The adventure campsite run by host Marina is very popular with the many guests.

Jessica rates her stay with 5 stars and writes:

"This is camping as you can only dream of it.

The cute little toilet block, the inviting sauna, the spacious courtyard with all kinds of play equipment for children. The chickens pecking their grass in the morning and the horses standing relaxed with their manes in the wind.

The absolutely fantastic village store with regional products.

In the evening, an enjoyable campfire with a romantic end to the day.

An absolute insider tip!

We were there with a family of 4. And a dog.

Electricity, water... everything was there! And in perfect harmony with nature and the farm.

Even the tractor was brought out so that our little one could explore it.

Pure idyll,

Attention, risk of repetition!"
