Hey, I'm

English, German
We live with our two children in Heersum, a small, rural village in the Innerstetal valley near Hildesheim. Our home is a small three-sided farmstead with a half-timbered house, where we also run our little farm café and ice cream shop. We pour our heart and soul into offering our guests a special place to arrive, relax, and enjoy themselves.

We had a wonderful night camping with Nadine and Florian and can wholeheartedly recommend this spot. The large meadow with its exceptionally well-maintained lawn offers plenty of space and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere—we parked our camper van right under a tree. The hosts deserve special mention: Nadine and Florian are incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful. We had some lovely conversations and felt completely welcome. Another highlight was Nadine’s homemade ice cream—absolutely recommended. A toilet and a sink are available, and electricity is also provided upon request. The surroundings are pleasantly quiet, with the typical, unobtrusive sounds of country life. Overall, it’s a place to unwind and enjoy yourself. We can’t understand the earlier critical reviews—for us, it was simply a dream. Five stars plus.
I felt right at home—it’s a lovely, well-kept place, and Nadine and Florian are such easygoing and welcoming hosts!
We had a wonderful stay in a meadow behind the farm, right in the middle of a lovingly tended garden. There’s a restroom and sink in a little wooden shed, and you simply have to try the homemade ice cream. We’ll definitely be back.
There’s room for improvement at this campsite. Unfortunately, you don’t park on the large meadow but between the tree and the barn. At 2.70 m tall, it was a tight squeeze driving under the tree. With two campers (a tandem), this area is too narrow; there wouldn’t be any space left for an awning or tarp.Since only a narrow space between the stones is clear, vehicles cannot easily leave or re-enter the site. Water is listed as available; this refers to well water next to the restroom. Our canister was then filled with drinking water by Florian, so this is not suitable for campers who wish to connect to a permanent water supply. Electricity was provided via a cable reel, which is also not ideal for two campers.The restroom is shared with café guests during opening hours. The restroom (high natural stone step) and the access paths are NOT suitable for people who rely on a wheelchair, for example. You’re right next to a horse farm where it’s quite noisy due to agricultural vehicles. Noise is also an issue: construction noise and, for such a small village, a surprising amount of road traffic (even at night); you can barely hear the chickens on the property. We had booked two nights but then left after an unpleasant incident. Not only were there constantly inconsiderate guests walking around us—it got even worse. Teenagers on e-scooters rode past us.The fact that there was very little space between them and our trailer/towing vehicle was unpleasant enough, but the fact that the teenagers could have injured our dog without our dog fence is something that should never have happened. Florian did apologize for this, but we left anyway (we did not receive a refund). We’re giving it two stars because Florian was very nice and helpful. For self-sufficient, compact, and low-profile campers, this spot is well-suited for a one-night stay or a stopover. ________________ Host’s response: ________________ Thank you very much for your feedback. We regret that your expectations were not fully met this time. As a private host on an active farm, we deliberately do not offer a traditional campground experience, but rather an authentic, rural experience. We take your comments seriously: We have already clarified the description regarding accessibility as well as electricity and water supply (no hookups directly at the site). The suitability for large trailers is now also more clearly indicated. The situation with the teenagers was an unfortunate isolated incident, for which we apologized on site. We are pleased that our helpfulness was nevertheless mentioned positively.
