Great site within walking distance of Rüdesheim am Rhine

Stayed here in May 2019 and arrived on the May Day holiday and the town and the site was busy,but was met at reception by the good English speaking warden who offered us a spacious pitch with water electric and grey disposal. The site has a nice ambience,was clean and there was a shop/bakery and a nice bar area overlooking the Rhine. There were two toilet blocks,one of which had no showers. The toilets,showers were spotless and of a high standard. The warden seemed to be omnipresent to answer any questions. The electricity supply has to be attached by one of the site staff the connection being in a locked cabinet so if you need to leave very early in the morning make arrangements so that your cable can be unlocked. The site is next to a large open air pool with high diving board and seating. The site is perfectly located by the river Rhine,and the 2 klm walk into Rüdesheim is along two wide,parallel paths/bike paths,that pass the Rhine boat trip offices and the many cruise ships that visit the town. The path is flat and offers great views of the river. Rüdesheim is a very pretty town,famous for wine production. There are many souvenir shops on the Rhine frontage and many lively cafes,bars and restraunts,as well as quiet corners,museums and there is a tourist office which was very helpful. The cable car from Rüdesheim takes you over the wine fields to the Niederwald Denkmalpflege,a large statue built to commemorate the Prussian victories of 1870/71 and German unification. From here a pleasant walk brings you to a second cable car which takes you down to the village of assmannhausen. You can buy a Rüdesheim “ ring” ticket that allows use of both cable cars and returning to Rüdesheim via one of the many Rhine ferries. You can catch a ferry to Bingen opposite Rüdesheim and another ferry later to Rüdesheim using the Ring ticket. There are several Rhine cruises available from Rüdesheim that take you on a tour to see the many castles on the Rhine banks. There is a 4 to 5 hour tour that takes you to the Lorely rock passing Bacharach town. Other trips take you further to Mainz and Coblenz. There is a lovely convent above Rüdesheim accessed by a pleasant but sometimes steep walk through the vineyards. A charge is paid to go inside the convent but outside there is a gift shop and cafe with fantastic views of Rüdesheim and the river.
