Why choose low-season camping?
The pre- and post-season bring a quieter rhythm to the South Eifel. At Camping Drei Spatzen—an intimate, family-friendly campground with 58 pitches on the edge of a small village and vast forest—tranquility takes the lead outside the busy summer period. You’ll find:
- Lower nightly rates on a wide choice of pitches
- More space and calm, ideal for recharging
- Nature-forward experiences, from streamside spots to forest walks
During high season, the vibe turns into relaxed summertime liveliness; in the low season, peace and stillness return—without losing access to the same trails, facilities, and friendly atmosphere.

Find your perfect low-season pitch
Nature pitch: Back-to-basics calm
Prefer pure nature? The Nature pitch is intentionally simple: no cars, no WiFi, no caravans—just a peaceful, starry-sky setting. Water and showers are included; electricity is optional at €1.50/night. It’s ideal for campers who want a quiet, primitive experience without sacrificing essentials like clean facilities.
Comfort+ pitches: Extra space, streamside settings
Our Comfort+ pitches (approx. 100–130 m²) are spread across different fields, some set along our little stream for a true close-to-nature feel. They include water, drainage, waste, WiFi, and showers, with electricity at €2.00/night. Select spots have 8A or 16A power depending on the field; you can often park near your spot on a parking strip.
- Please note: Not all Comfort+ pitches are suitable for campers. If you’re bringing a motorhome, contact us to find a match.
Comfort camping pitch (80m²): Smart size, full connections
For tents and smaller caravans, the Comfort camping pitch (80m²) packs in water, drainage, waste, WiFi, and showers, with electricity at €2.00/night. Due to the compact size and softer ground, campervans longer than 6 meters will not fit—when in doubt, get in touch and we’ll advise.
Tent site car-free: Space to unwind (and add a small extra tent)
Our car-free tent sites bring you close to nature—many are near the small creek—while keeping modern comforts: water, drainage, WiFi, showers, and even an extra tent at no extra charge. Electricity is available at €1.50/night.
RV site: Easy in-and-out convenience
Centrally located near the terrace and sanitary building, the RV site offers a naturally firmer surface (grass/rock) that’s designed for easy entry and exit. Expect a 16A power connection, a water tap, and a drainage point for grey water (note: no separate camper service). Electricity is €3.00/night; water, WiFi, and showers are included.
Trekkers pitch: For hikers, cyclists, and motorbikers
Traveling light? The Trekkers pitch is sized for small one- to two-person tents and offers thoughtful touches:

- Breakfast service in our restaurant (pre-book)
It’s a superb low-cost option in the low season at €15.50 per night for one person.
