I am wondering why there is no mention of Luxembourg as a Camping destination on MHFs?
Looking through the ASCI book there seem to be quite a few campsite listed, but has anyone any experiance of camping in the Country.
Or is it just a stop off for cheap fuel en-route to other continental destinations?
Mrs D and yours truly, were considering visiting the region and hoped to find some suggestions on possible campsites.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
We went to Luxembourg last year on our way to Lake Garda. We spent around 3 days there and loved it. We stayed at a really nice site called Camping Gritt, located alongside a river. I know we got the site details either from the Caravan Club or Camping & CC European catalogue?
Have a look at the Campsite Reviews on this forum and you will find Camping Gritt and some other sites folks have visited.
Make sure you fill up to the brim with fuel before you leave as it is a lot cheaper!
The only trouble with Luxembourg (in my experience) is that one half closes at 5pm and the rest (all bar McD etc.) closes at about 9pm.
We stayed in Remich a couple of years ago and wanted something to eat at about 9pm and it was McDonalds or nothing.
Notwithstanding that we like the place and the Kiwis who borrowed our Bongo loved it after stumbling into it by accident near the end of their European tour.
I have heard (but not had confirmed) that "wild" camping is technically illegal there BUT we overnighted with lots of other m/homes of various nationalities in the riverside car park at Remich last year with out any problems. Two of them (at least) were the obligatory "we need to park sideways on and use up 4 spaces" merchants, but even that didn't seem to attract and official attention. But it was November and few people other than m/homers were using the car park - it may be different at busier times.
I have no experience of formal campsites there, but most I've seen seem to be of the type full of 15 year old (at least) camper/caravans with an equally old "green" awning, where the occupying units/pitch seem to be handed down through the family.
Yes indeed !
Most folks just use Luxembourg for cheap fuel en route to somewhere else.
You would enjoy Camping Kockelscheur ( in the CC and Alan Rogers books ) which is just south of Luxembourg City- a fascinating place with an amazing history. Buses run from near the site, and the Warden, Jean-Luc, is most helpful.
Then drive north to the River Sure ( several sites up there ), and then down the Moselle where there are a couple more riverside sites.
We happened upon Kockelscheur in transit, but went back and spent a week.
We stayed at Vianden in 2009 there is a campsite just a short walk along the river bank into the town. There is quite a nice castle there and in August they have a medieval festival one weekend. Actually we have been there twice 2008 and 2009. Chasper.
Good grief Perhaps Luxembourg isn't such a great idea after all

Yep - saw that one at Steinfort, looked like a gyppo site, so moved on.
Forgot to mention Grevenmacher where there is a muni site - cheap enough, but not very sophisiticated. However, if you go into the town on festival days, you will see a fullblown pipe and drum band, all dressed in tartan kilts and playing " Scotland the Brave ".
Just back from a trip to Germany and Luxembourg over Easter. We spent 3 days at Camping Bon Accueil its in the ACSI Book [MHF Link] and its only 11 Euros a night.
It has buses to Luxembourg City outside the site a small bar on site and the biggest pitches around. Nice site next to a park and plenty of walking and biking available. You can also catch the buses to other parts of Luxembourg and they are very cheap 4 euros for an all day ticket or 1.50 euros for a ticket that lasts 2 hours.
I will be going back again and not just stopping for fuel like we used to do.
A very clean place.
Cheap Fuel.
They Speak several Languages. German, Dutch French and some English. But that depends which corner of the Duchy you are in.
Cigs and Tobacco are cheap. Spirits are supposed to be too. But I have never stopped to look.
Beware of road blockades. Have been caught in a few of those behind protesting Farmers and Lorry Drivers.
Campsites, have visited 3 none of which were much good. One, (name escapes me) we turned up a couple of days before ACSI CC kicked in. Cost us 46 Euros for an overnight, stayed less than 14 hours. Even charged 3 Euros for a baby!. Couple of days later would have been 15 Euros ACSI + Extra Adults x 2 + BABY!.
The other had a great Swimming pool next door, but was closed from 1 - 15th of September whilst we were staying.
Third site was like a gypsy camp, bar closed, very unlevel swamped pitches and very tight access. They even had to close the road off while we drove in the one way, wrong way. Then had to close it off whilst I reversed out the next day with inches to spare either side.
If I can dig the site names up, will post the ones we have been to.
