Campingpark Heidewald in Sassenberg: lake, hammocks and 5 stars

Campingpark Heidewald in Sassenberg (North Rhine-Westphalia) offers pitches for motorhomes, caravans and tents, plus glamping options: tiny houses with sauna, shepherd's huts and safari tents. The park has been operating since the 1960s and is now run by the third generation of the Peitz-Austermann family. A basic motorhome pitch in high season costs €22 for two adults, children €6, dogs €4, electricity €0.70 per kWh. Premium and de-luxe pitches with private sanitary facilities and hammocks are available. The reservation system draws complaints: guests report accidentally occupying already reserved pitches. The grey water disposal station closes at 16:30. Wi-Fi is limited to 500 MB per day.
