A castle with a campsite is rarely found. Yet this small, fine one is special among the motorhome pitches. Being mobile is a must here, as there is no catering. But plenty of space for guests in the green. The entire area around the castle is worth seeing.

A lovely spot for a long rest on or in the meadow. Perfect for playing with the kids or just lying on your back and basking in the sun.
