Black Forest - tips and where?

Thank you for that information, it looks as if I will have to remove it from my website.

We have traveled the L500 several times.....

Baden Baden - Freudenstadt - Triberg albeit in a sports car, & in 2022 traveled from Strasbourg to Rhein Camping Waldshut (good site or cheaper Stellplatz option opposite) via Freiburg-im-Breisgau & Titisee.

Rhinefalls, Schauffhausen less than 50km away, great experience but you will need the Swiss Vignette..... we were travelling on to various stops in Switzerland so was worth the outlay for us....

We are going to Bodensee this summer (Lake Konstance). We will be travelling via Hull Rotterdam and breaking the journey at Rudesheim. Tittisee is also a good option, some good sites around the lake. 

I did not ask for Cl's.

My previous comment was in response to flatcoat and you appear, to me anyway, to have taken it out of context to make a point that didn't need making.

I asked for smaller sites preferably 20 pitches or less. I have found a few, so they do exist, but were there any CAMC member recommendations it would be very helpful.

Sounds like you are sorted then. 

well, sort of but being being generally ignorant of touring Germany/Black Forest any tips are always going to helpful

Stellpätze, which are primarily intended for motorhomes, are usually relatively small. Of the 4 thousand odd in Germany about 1500 allow caravans. Maybe it's worth having a look at the stellplatz.info database.

My tip is not to restrict yourself to small sites! Also to note German sites generally enforce a quiet no movement time in the early afternoon. Treat it with respect. They can be obsessive with recycling bins, 5 different types quite common. Cash is still widely used and some businesses do not accept card payments. German driving style is often ‘determined’, keep out of their way on derestricted autobahn sections! They drive very fast! They also have lots of Restplatz and service stations are usually far better than anything in the UK.  

I tend to agree with Flatcoat about trying to restrict yourself to small sites, not that I have found many in Germany, but perhaps I wasn't looking. My advice is to always decide where you want to visit and then find sites that suit that location. A lot of German sites have a mix of touring pitches and static/long term pitches, usually separated. Whilst many sites may well be larger than you would like, out of the German school holidays they will probably be quite quiet. Don't forget that towing a caravan on a German Autobahn has a speed restriction of 80kms an hour. There is a scheme called the Tempo 100 which allows towed caravans to travel at 100kms an hour but I am not sure how easy that is to acquire for a UK outfit? Always best to apply for an Umwelt Plakette, details in one of the pinned threads at the top of this section. We very much like touring in Germany  and went all over North/South/West/East.

One difference I have with David is we tow at the 100km/h limit unless posted otherwise. Never ever had a problem. Like David we have towed and driven through most of Germany (my wife is German). It is a great country and Bavaria is a good starting point for your first visit.
