What a lovely little spot! Lovingly maintained and decorated. Friendly and easygoing communication. Johannes is a gracious host with a big heart.
Great location and a wonderful host. Johannes doesn’t just make this lovingly maintained spot in nature available—he also goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need. 🙏 We stayed there for three nights and didn’t want to leave. There’s a dry-separation toilet, and the waste is very easy to dispose of in the compost bin next door. We didn’t use the sauna or hot tub. Instead, we went right into the Wieslauter River to splash around. Johannes even installed a small shower on the property (using water from the stream). The perfect way to cool off. The only thing is that the ground is very soft in places. Be careful not to get stuck, especially when it’s damp. 😉 We were on the property with a campervan and a trailer and had no trouble maneuvering. There was also an Urban Camper parked with us. It’s easy to miss the entrance. Just drive all the way to the sewage treatment plant, and you’ll see the gate to the property.

This is a special place that really exceeded our expectations - which were already high from the description and pictures. To set the context, my husband and I were the first to stay at Johannes’ little bit of paradise, and the weather/season (late April ‘26) was perfect! We booked last minute, when we saw the weather should be good. We had exclusive use of the site. Communication with Johannes was fast and very personal. The site is spacious with many opportunities for setting camp in the sun or the shade, by the river or secluded under the fruit trees if you prefer. What is not so obvious from the pictures and description is that this ‘edge of town’ plot is not only green, natural and park-like, with the luxuries of a hot tub and sauna, but is also bordered by a really beautiful river - complete with a deck giving access to the river for a cold plunge after a hot walk or sauna! We usually look for unsophisticated and secluded campsites for our Land Rover Defender with roof tent. The compost toilet was very good, a must for us. The hot tub was a luxury we didn’t really need, but absolutely loved, with the fresh cold spring nights/mornings. Johannes had made sure the fires in the efficient rocket stoves were well laid, so that it was a super easy process to heat them up and learn timing for the next night. In the early evening we were treated by chatty ducks and bats flying back and forth. The area around Dahn is amazing, with walks amongst the Felsenland rock formations easily accessible from the campsite. Being within the Natura2000 area, it is beautiful. There are nature trails (and Biergarten) within easy reach, a highlight for wildlife fans like us are the lynx and wolf trails nearby in Im Schneiderfeld giving some interesting insights into the habits of these species. We really recommend this gem, if you’re looking for a peaceful, green oasis with the option for some added luxury!
