AZUR Camping Turmbergblick, Tiengenerstassa 40, D-76227
Karlsruhe-Durlack, +49 (0721) 407236
To find site:- The site is quite will signed once in Durlack although
the route is quite torturous.
This is quite a large site with over 300 pitches although about half are
given over to permanent units. The main touring section is immediately
in front of Reception. It is pleasantly wooded with mature trees which
gives a nice look to the site. Pitches vary in size and it is best to
have a good look round to select one to suit the size for your outfit.
There is a separate tent area near the entrance. Just inside the
entrance is a small area with water, waste and electrics which I assume
is just for overnight use as the area is quite small. Electric points
are situated on the ends of rows of pitches so a long lead may be
required. The connections are rated at 10amps and use CEE17 blue
connectors. One disappointing thing about the site is that the main
touring part does not have any water points. Water is only available at
the toilet block so quite a walk from some pitches. The toilet block is
of a good standard with seated pedestal toilets and paper provided.
There is a playground area for children. We visited this site in early
May and it seems that not all facilities were open all the time, these
include a restaurant which seemed to open at the weekend and a small
shop which was being prepared for the season. The site also offers W-Lan
(WiFi) although I thought that it was pretty expensive with one hour
costing €5. This site is near both a motorway and a railway so some
noise is to be expected although we did not find it intrusive. This
campsite accepts the ACSI discount card at €16 a night.
We used this site as a stop off point en route to Italy as its not
far off the motorway. It would be a good base to visit the City of
Karlsruhe. There are many other places of interest within easy
travelling distance including Baden Baden and Museum Sinsheim. If you
want to make use of public transport there is a station at Grotzingen
within walking distance of the site.
For shopping there is an Aldi store within walking distance.
We also found a REWE a little further away, which is handy if you want
to pay by credit card. Bread can be ordered from reception.
