At/in the forest
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 had a wonderful stay at Heiko’s place. Communication was very clear and Heiko and his family made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and knowledge of the area. Heiko was patient with my slow communication whilst my mobile phone was misbehaving. The location is secluded, with only a few walkers, cyclists and occasional tractors passing by. There is easy access to numerous walks - a visit to the Stöcklewaldturm is well worth it if like us you only have one day. Despite a heatwave hitting The area during our stay, the forest and altitude (approx 1040m) helped to keep us relatively cool. Don’t forget wedges to level your vehicle if needed, as shown in the pictures the camping is on a hill, bordering a wildflower meadow and forest. The toilet for hire is super clean, a short and pretty walk down the hill through the forest - on forest path or small road. The sunrise on the morning we left was spectacular, well worth waking up early for! We hope to come back!
As always, perfect!
Thanks to Heiko for creating such a lovely spot and for letting us stay with you for four nights. Next time we’ll stay longer—we didn’t have enough time to see more of the area. A really great host👍
