We're thinking of visiting the Black Forest area, Germany next summer.
Could anyone recommend a good family camping site?

In the south part of the region, Camping Belchenblick near Staufen and FerienCamping Munstertal just up the valley are both excellent. You can look them up on the net.

Hi, realising that one mans meat is another mans poison, and not wishing to get in an arguement with Graham , my experience of Belchenblick are different than his.
I had booked to stay there for 10 days in July and August this year. Unfortunately this coincided with poor weather over most of Europe and it was very wet - not the sites fault I realise that. The pitches are very small and cannot be compared to numerous sites I have stayed on in France. After 5 nights of rain and very cramped conditions I gave up and went to central France and had a good time. As I said the weather was the overiding reason for early leaving, I am sure that with sunshine it woulsd have been a better experience.

Camping Belchenblick has superb facilities but I tend to agree with Ray that the pitches are not over large. The site management don't seem to use any common sense in their pitching arrangements. We have been there twice. Its a superb location because its an easy walk into Staufaen, which is delightful.You are not far from Switzerland.

We visited Belchenblick at Easter in 2004. It is a lovely site which is managed by a very friendly and helpful family. As pitch sizes go we were very lucky to be placed on an area of the site with large pitches having no bounderies which made access very easy. We were warned in advance of the nearby railway. The railway turned out to be an almost silent local tram (strausenbahn) that passed the site on one side. The only time that we were aware of the railway was the sound of the warning bell on the crossing where the track crossed the site enterance.
PS...Thinking about going back next year.

If you're looking for a campsite in the Black Forest area with above average pitch sizes, have a look at Kur & Feriencamping Badenweiler". According to the guide that I've got, the pitches there are between 90 and 130m
