    Hello, fellow campers! 😊 We want to make sure your stay with us is enjoyable and safe. Please keep in mind that you are entering the grounds voluntarily and at your own risk, and that neither we as the operators nor the forest owners can accept liability for any property damage or personal injury. Respect nature, stay on the trails, and take good care of yourselves and your children. If you have any questions, we’re always here to help. We hope you have a wonderful time at Schaibencamp! 🌲⛺️

    **A Quick Tip for Camping in Wet Conditions** Dear campers, In wet conditions, it can be difficult for large vehicles to leave the site. Therefore, park in such a way that you can back out or drive forward along the edge of the field. Good tires with sufficient tread provide greater safety. Stay relaxed and enjoy your camping experience! 😊

What this place offers

Basics

  • Toilet

    As much as we love nature—the forest isn’t a toilet 🌲💩

    So please don’t relieve yourself in the bushes ✌️

    You can either bring your own camping toilet or book one if needed.

    🪠 Our composting toilet is a popular solution. For €10 per stay, the toilet is all yours. Using it is easier than you think:

    Guests empty or replace the containers themselves—don’t panic, we won’t leave you to figure it out on your own 😅

    We’ll of course provide everything you need: toilet paper, disinfectant, compost bags, and more.

    In short:

    👉 Use the toilet = nature happy 🌿

    👉 Use the forest = animals offended 🐄😜

    Thanks for joining in!

    We spent the weekend at Heiko's place in the meadow. Everything was perfectly set up. He stopped by briefly; we chatted a bit, and he gave us some tips for day trips. We highly recommend this spot without reservation. It was great that we got to stay there. Thank you very much.

    A really beautiful spot in the Black Forest. From the campground, you can explore lots of great places that Heiko recommended. You practically don’t need a car to do so. Heiko was always reachable and ready to answer any questions we had. At night, you can see a stunning starry sky here. We’d love to come back.
