Just a 20-minute bike or car ride from the Baltic Sea lies our idyllic farm, built in 1920, on 35,000 m² of private property. Scharbeutz, Timmendorfer Strand, Lübeck, Bad Segeberg, Plön, Eutin, Grömitz, and Schleswig are all nearby. With plenty of space to relax, your campsite is located on our meadow, overlooking other meadows and fields, in the shade of a protected oak tree that’s over 300 years old. You can either stay completely self-sufficient or, for an additional fee of 6 euros per day per person, book the water and electricity package (children 6 and under are free). This includes access to the restrooms—newly renovated in May 2023—a large new shower, and the new dishwashing area. You can also refill your fresh water tanks and connect to shore power (220 volts). With over 500 positive reviews from more than satisfied guests so far, you can look forward to “more—and even better.” Electricity is available for e-bikes or electric cars. A new Tesla Wallbox charging station is now available, providing up to 22 kW/h and compatible not only with Tesla vehicles but also with many other electric cars that have the correct plug. Upon request, you can book a rustic event space of up to 120 m² (e.g., for presentations, as a coworking space, or for other work purposes) or a newly renovated 50 m² office space. More new features are in the works. Many attractions and places to visit in the surrounding area will make your stay—whether on vacation or as a digital nomad—an unforgettable experience. You can purchase eggs from our free-range chickens right on site. All other daily necessities—from fresh rolls at three excellent bakeries to everything a camper’s heart desires—can be purchased at well-known full-service retailers such as REWE, LIDL, EDEKA, ALDI, and PENNY stores, as well as at several gas stations in Ahrensbök, 5 km away. There’s even a bus stop right on the property, and the schedule is available online. The farm’s own free-range Grünleger chickens will provide you with a fresh breakfast egg every day upon request. For other convenient options (from fire pits, grills, or charcoal to office supplies, etc.), please either confirm these in advance by phone or we can discuss them when you arrive. Please arrive after 2:00 p.m. and check out by 11:00 a.m. Once a booking has been paid for and confirmed, self-check-in is also available upon request for late arrivals.

We look forward to seeing you!

    dogs free of charge, provided they are socially acceptable and are not

    and are properly supervised because of our free-range chickens, other guests or children.

    are adequately and professionally supervised.

  • Electricity

    The water and electricity package can be booked for a fee of 6 euros per person per day, free of charge for children up to 6 years. (Discounts for longer stays or "large families") Freshly renovated toilets and a new shower are located in our multi-purpose building "Die Küstenscheune" just a few steps away from your pitch.

    For e-cars there is the possibility of fast charging with our new Tesla wallbox for e-cars with up to 22 kW/h. Please enquire in advance if required.

  • Shower

    You will find a modern, newly renovated shower in our multi-purpose building "Die Küstenscheune" just a few steps opposite. When booking the water and electricity package (6 euros per day and person, children up to 6 years free) included. If you are interested, please book directly after receiving the booking confirmation so that we can activate it for you.

  • Water

  • Cell phone reception

    Cell phone reception (including 5G) is possible with all major providers. We offer professional co-working workstations in our rental office, including fiber optic connection. Please ask for details if you are interested. Conferences or meetings for up to 200 guests are possible on request.

  • Campfire allowed

    Beautiful barbecue area (partly covered and sheltered from the wind) with a perfect sundowner setting suitable for Instagrams, plenty of seating around the fire pit free of charge, barbecues permitted (fire regulations must be observed), you can use your own barbecue, either bring your own firewood for the fire pit or purchase it on site for 7 euros per package.

  • Barbecue allowed

    Barbecues are permitted as long as they do not cause more than an unavoidable nuisance to others. There may be legal restrictions due to the risk of forest fires in midsummer.

  • WiFi

    According to our guests, cell phone reception with the major operators (TELEKOM, Vodafone, O2) is problem-free, so you can surf the Internet via hotspot. But we are in the countryside, so if you need high-speed internet for work, you should find out beforehand what network coverage your particular operator offers here. We offer professional co-working workstations in our rental office

    including fiber optic connection. Please ask for details if you are interested.

    Conferences or meetings for up to 200 guests are possible on request.

  • Public transport

    There is a bus stop right next to the property and the timetable can be viewed online. The stop is called Gnissauer Heckkaten in Ahrensbök.

  • Wheelchair accessible

    The camp facilities are located on a meadow and can therefore only be used with the usual natural restrictions. We have already had wheelchair users with us who found the level access to showers and toilets without steps to be "ok". But please: it is a farm which, despite many renovations, still has unpaved open spaces. If accessibility is an important issue for you, please contact us BEFORE your stay with us.

  • Other (house rules)

    Since we keep animals and especially free-range chickens and ducks on the farm (who will be happy to lay fresh eggs for you every day) we ask you to be good with them so that we can all move freely and we do not need fences or barriers. Please provide adequate supervision for children and impaired persons, as well as dogs or other pets. This is a working farm with the typical hazards associated with machinery, animals or farm work. Therefore, please exercise extra caution and consideration. Be sure to take a (cell phone) flashlight with you at night, as by nature not all paths can be sufficiently illuminated. Please do not enter stables or buildings without explicit instructions. Supervise children and infirm persons with special care. In case of emergency, fire extinguishers and first aid kits are accessible at all times in the Coastal Barn and other locations.

Around the accommodation

  • Farm shop

    There is no "real" farm store, but you can buy fresh eggs from our own free-range chickens every day or occasionally other seasonal products in our "trust kiosk". There is also a large fridge with various drinks that can be purchased around the clock. All other shopping facilities, e.g. the large discount grocery stores such as Rewe, Aldi, Lidl (usually open until 10 pm) and 4 bakeries can be found in Ahrensbök, only 5 km away.

  • Waste disposal

    We actively avoid waste in order to meet our own standards as an ecologically oriented company. We would therefore like to ask you to reduce the amount of waste to what is unavoidable and please only dispose of it separately in the collection bins provided.

  • Grey water disposal

    We are biologically oriented and ask you to dispose of gray water (rinsing water, washing water) only in limited quantities and only if the waste water contains ONLY biodegradable substances. Please note: Only GREY WATER, but NO dumping possibility, i.e. NO WC disposal. The use of our scullery is also included in the electricity and water package (6 euros per day and person, children up to 6 years free of charge). Please only use biodegradable washing-up liquid. Our scullery was freshly renovated in August 2023 and offers facilities for dishwashing and laundry, including a new modern coin-operated washing machine.

Activities

  • Other activities

    Culture is not neglected either, from the Eutin Lake Festival on the newly built lake stage to numerous seasonal events organized by the surrounding communities and the lake resort association. Numerous festivals from the legendary "WACKEN" and the Karl May Festival in Bad Segebert to classical music and theater performances in Lübeck, Kiel and Plön. And as a highlight, an evening in Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie concert hall (the 76 km drive is really worth it)

  • Farm vacation

    Even though our farm is not actively used for agriculture, we still have chickens and runner ducks, two natural biosphere ponds on the farm and occasionally you can see agricultural machinery at work in the neighboring fields.

  • Fishing

  • Swimming

    The Baltic Sea beach (Scharbeutz, Timmendorf, Haffkrug are 17 km or approx. 20 minutes away. The large OSTSEE-THERME is also available in Timmendorf.

  • Golf

    The Bad Segeberg golf club is only around 4 km away

  • Surfing

  • MTB

    Even if Holstein Switzerland doesn't exactly offer high-alpine MTB tours, there are still quite challenging tours in an extensive network of hiking and cycling trails directly from the farm. We

    recommend the KOMOOT app, for example, where you can browse to your heart's content and

    find something for every taste.

  • Climbing

  • Hiking

    There are plenty of extensive hiking and cycling trails directly from the farm.

  • Playing by the water

    is of course a must for all children, parents and grandparents on the Baltic Sea beach

  • Sailing

  • Kayaking, canoeing

  • Watching wildlife

    At dusk, red deer and other animals appear on the site from time to time. They are shy and usually disappear back into the hedgerows and woods. What sometimes seems to screech at night is not agricultural machinery, but owls, owlets, hawks or kestrels. Our runner ducks and chickens (each with a flock of chicks in summer) may not be real "wild animals", but they are certainly very cute to look at...

  • Beach vacation

    The Baltic Sea (Scharbeutz, Timmendorf, Haffkrug)

    can be reached in approx. 30 minutes by bike via a separate cycle path separated from the road. By car also approx. 20 min. Linenbus stops directly at the farm.

  • Tennis

  • A beautiful campground with a view of the meadows. Clean restroom facilities. Very friendly manager and owner. A campsite we highly recommend. We’ll be back. The Runig-Schindler family.

  • A wonderful place to relax and a great starting point for many day trips, such as to Lübeck, Bad Segeberg, and the beach in Haffkrug. We had a wonderful time and would like to say thank you!
