Kids Keep Climbing: Forest Fun for Kids with Two Playgrounds and a Mini Field
If you’re searching for a family break where little adventurers can roam, climb, and burn off energy while you relax, you’ve found it. At Camping Drei Spatzen in the wooded Süd Eifel—between Bitburg (Germany) and Vianden (Luxembourg)—forest fun for kids starts right on site. With two playgrounds, a small soccer field, and a shallow stream that’s perfect for clambering (not for swimming), the whole terrain feels like a natural play park.
Why kids keep climbing here
- The campsite is nestled among forested hills and a small valley, so play naturally spills from the playgrounds into nature.
- Directly from the campsite, you can head out on walking trails through woods, hills, and rock formations. Cyclists and mountain bikers (including e‑bikers) will find plenty of nearby routes.
- In the pre‑ and post‑season, peace and quiet dominate—ideal for families who love early or late escapes. In high season and holidays, there’s a friendly, summery buzz without losing the calm setting.
On‑site spaces made for play
Two playgrounds
Two well‑placed playgrounds give kids multiple spots to climb, balance, and invent new games—all within easy reach of your pitch.
A mini field for big energy
A small soccer field invites casual kick‑abouts, quick sprints, and friendly family tournaments.
The shallow stream (for clambering, not swimming)
Children can spend hours exploring and clambering along the small on‑site stream. It’s not suitable for swimming, but it is perfect for imaginative nature play.
Gather round the communal fire/BBQ area
When evening falls, the communal fire and BBQ area becomes a relaxed hub to grill and swap stories from the day’s adventures.
Weather‑proof fun when skies turn grey
- Borrow a board game from the games cabinet or pick a book from the bookshelf.
- Enjoy a friendly game of pool, darts, or table football indoors.
- Settle in at the bistro, which offers food and drinks with two pleasant terraces—great for a snack break between play sessions.
