Knaus Campingpark Leipzig Auensee

We stayed three nights here and were given a plot to park on. If we could have chosen a plot we would probably have chosen elsewhere as we were near the facilities which proved noisy in the evenings and mornings, particularly when people were leaving site and serviced their motorhomes - emptying waste and taking on water.

Friendly reception staff prepared to speak English. Well laid out, fair sized pitches with shade, space to park car on pitch. Even though we stayed during a bank holiday and the site was full it wasn\'t overbearing. Depending on pitch location an extension cable may be required to reach the nearest supply box when site is busy. Really interesting old DDR resort renovated to a high standard. Ample clean showers and toilets, plenty of hot water no time limits and no coins, cards or other quirky procedures. Bread is available to order daily and there is a small breakfast room which provides a hot buffet breakfast and coffee if desired. The on-site restaurant is closed down at the moment.
There are fantastic cycle routes direct from the site, one can cycle right into the heart of Leipzig along the canal path (8km) in less than an hour. There are other cycle paths from which fascinating little villages can be explored. One restaurant to try for the local cuisine is Domholzschänke in Schkeuditz. Beware, the site is in an environmental zone and you should have a green sticker on your car to access it and other areas of Leipzig. Free overnight bike storage is also available at the reception. Would recommend this site.
