The reception greeting is something else, grumpy is an understatement, the WIFI does no work so don't spend the 5 euros on it - the site is ideal for the beautiful town of Stefaun just a 10 to 15 minute walk from the site, it was a good location for us to tour the black forest, the railway line did not really bother us, the washing, whilst there is a ladies wash area it was found the women were all bathing in the mens shower rooms - discreetly of course, however a site that is starting to tire and a refurbishment required, however the site was well populated and appeared to be a good stop over for those heading to the Italian lakes.
First and last visit
Railway line noisy, road noisy, staff grumpy, getting information was like pulling teeth, facilities not that clean, some showers broken. Wifi does not work all over the site as advertised.

oh dear! We've stayed at this site several times and always enjoyed it but its 2 years since we were last here and its very noticeable to see standards have fallen. The site has a sad, neglected air the toilets and shower blocks are in need of extensive refurbishment. In the block we used 3 out of the 7 showers appeared to be permanently locked for the whole of our stay, not sure why. The sink and tap which should be used for fresh water was dirty but was eventually cleaned. Another reviewer has commented on the bar, it is dirty and smells of cats you go once but not twice! To say it has a restaurant is somewhat misleading as it consists of a couple of "stand- up" tables outside the shop! Check in and check out is laborious, the office closes 12-30 - 3-00pm so take care to time your arrival. it took 25 minutes to check out and pay for electricity, not good if you have a long onward journey. We didn't find the train noise intrusive but can see others would. The up side to this site is its close proximity to the beautiful town of Staufen with its restaurants and cafes. it's an easy walk along the banks of the river. There is a free transport system for tourists ask for the Konus card at the reception, The outside pool next to the site is also free to people staying at the site. There are plenty of walking and biking trails to use. The Winefest is great, lovely atmosphere it takes place at the beginning of August. We still enjoy coming to this site but it is sad to see the lack of investment.

This an excellent site within easy walk to the town of Staufen where you can enjoy good food and/or a drink at number hotels/bars. Good cycle lanes and many nearby towns/village to visit. Large swimming pool / outdoor complex across from site for kids and adults to enjoy the sun. The town is very period and lively, try to go when the winefest is on for more excitement. Great site

I enjoyed the site.
Pleasant location near pool which was great in heat wave.
Staff were pleasant.
If you are sited near the railway line the noise is noticeable as the crossing is there.
Good cycling and pleasant walks.
21 euros for 10 days' electricity: they will read meter

we were booked on this site for 10 days ,but left a day early .We couldn't stand the train noise as we were sited dead next to the train track with the rest of the english.Everytime a train came past it shook the awning and they were also going through the night .It says in the cc brochure some road & rail noise ,what it should say is the railway is right behind the site.We visited the pub on site which needed a really good clean ,it looked like it hadn't been opened since the 1980'.It was also home for cats & kittens and certainly didn't smell fresh .Very disappointed think the Caravan club needs to send someone to review this site

Summer 2015
Surprised by some of the negative comments. I found the staff efficient and on duty 0730-2200. Area is lovely and there was plenty to do and see. Stafen has events on most weekends. Only negative aspect would be that the toilets are modelled for winter use so there are few washbasins only for summer use (as these are within the individual shower rooms which can become very busy int he mornings - in the mens toilets as one reviewer has commented.)
For an area famous for cakes try the original black forest gateau at Triberg - well worth the 50 mile trip.
Another stay in BELCHENBLICK
Having stayed at BELCHENBLICK on numerous occasions we have always found the staff helpful and pleasant. Great location with a lovely riverside walk to the village of Staufen. We appreciated the ticket for free local travel. Toilet facilities are clean although perhaps a bit dated. We would be happy to return.

Very good Black Forest Site
A well organised site next to the lovely little town of Staufen whose "Germanicness" really appealed. Check out Deckers Cafe for the best cakes in the known universe. Staff reception courteous and efficient if a bit severe and lacking in humour. Black Forest area supposed to have the most favourable climate. Big public swimming pool adjacent to the site and FOC to campers.
We won't be going back!
From when we arrived to when we left we felt unwanted. There was no word of welcome. The pitches with full services are small and in full sun with no shade. We were reliant on other campers to find the ladies showers as they were with the mens' toilets! However Staufen is well worth a visit.
