ARRIVAL IN GROUPS / SAVING CAMPING SPACE FOR FRIENDS

As keeping camping areas free entails a great deal of additional organizational effort and makes it impossible to fill the camping areas fairly, we ask everyone who arrives at different times but still wants to camp at the same place to reserve camping areas. Unfortunately, in the past, different arrival times have led to really unfair filling of pitches, because people arriving have falsely claimed that someone is coming later to make extra space for themselves. This causes resentment among those who have to camp further away.

Ideally, you should organize your group so that you arrive together in the greater area of Dinkelsbühl if you don’t want to reserve a space. (Our tip: meet at a highway parking lot shortly before Dinkelsbühl and then drive together as far as possible).

An additional note for people with larger vehicles (including motorhomes) or vehicles with trailers (including caravans):
Please also orientate yourselves to the right, as the locks on the far right are much wider and you will get through the locks much more comfortably.
Those arriving by motorcycle are requested to use the locks on the right, as these are strategically better located next to the parking spaces for motorcyclists.

Group assembly point:
If your group does not get through the locks together, this is not a problem.
Meet at the assembly point after the lock, then continue together from there and end up next to each other in your camp.
Setting up camping equipment is prohibited in this area, and we can also give you a maximum of 30 minutes to organize your group there.
This area is intended to help the group get together quickly so that you can continue directly to the campground.
