Black Forest - tips and where?

I’ve stayed at Trendcamping Wolfach about 3 times. Lovely site with really great facilities including restaurant.  Train station 10 minute stroll away, free travel within Black Forest area.  Reception speaks English if required.  Lovely village of Wolfach a couple of miles away

I’d second Trendcamping near Wolfach. As to a route, my preference would be from Calais or Dunkerque towards Lille, Namur, Luxemburg. There are a couple of sites near to Luxemburg city that are good for a stopover or a couple of nights. The city is beautiful and steeped in history. The south of Germany is beautiful and if you have time to visit Bavaria there are many good sites there too.

Camping Kockelscheuer is a great place to stop free travel into Luxembourg, well worth it...

Another vote for Trendcamping. Excellent free rail ticket to explore the various towns along the valley. 

These are three sites we have used over the years, all are near to a town (easy walking distance) all have railways stations for making use of the free travel.

We are also considering the Black forest for a few days, so have been looking these up.

Unfortunately, it seems camping regenbogen, Bad Liebenzell is permanently closed

Please be aware many sites in Germany and elsewhere close in September for winter. Is it large UK Commercial sites you don’t like or large German commercial sites? The latter are generally far better managed and behaviour standards far higher. Highly unlikely to have unruly ill disciplined children kicking footballs at your caravan, or drunk sweary parents. And if there were such behaviour they would be evicted. 

Pretty much large sites full stop. In the UK it's cl's for me

I live in Germany and would plan to do this,

Drive from Calais to Brussels, Aachen Cologne, Frankfurt and Freiburg This is only 100 miles more than going through France or Luxemburg. There are lots of Camp sites en Route and there is no Toll charges or Clean air restrictions as in France.

There are many amazing things to see on the way such as Brussels, Cologne the Mosel Valley to name a few.

The Black Forrest is spit into the north and south. The south has a bit more to offer in that Strassburg or the Baden Baden or even a trip to Lake Konstanz are all within a daytrip.

Hope this helps

Well, you won’t find CLs in Germany. Sorry

.Remember the old saying When in Rome do as Romans do.  And therefore in Germany do as Germans do. Use their campsites for what they are.

Have a good trip.
