Donaupark Camping, 3400 Klosterneuberg, Tel 0043 224325877
To Find Site:-
From Vienna take A22 autobahn along northern
side of Danube. At junction 7 take exit for Klosterneuberg. Be careful
when exiting slip road as it’s an immediate right turn onto the main
road. Follow road to Klosterneuberg. In town watch out for railway
station on right and turn sharp right under
railway bridge and campsite is immediately
ahead.
Donaupark Camping is a busy site set in an urban environment and
the town is only minutes’ walk away so you will experience some traffic
and train noise. The mighty Klosterneuberg Monastery towers above the
site and you occasionally get their magnificent peel of bells. There are
around 125 pitches for caravans and motorhomes although if you have the
latter take note of the signs which indicate which pitches which can be
used as not all can be. There is a separate area for small tents
immediately across from reception. None of the pitches could be
described as large and if you have a longer caravan or motorhome check
out the best pitches. If you intend to erect an awning getting a
car on the pitch might be difficult. However
there is an area near to the pitches for parking cars separately should
that be necessary. There are about 10 pitches where you can drive
through but these are not so wide so you won’t have a lot of space
around you. Pitch surface is mainly grass but this has been reinforced
with open block runways for caravan/motorhome wheels or on some pitches
have pea shingle added to the grass.
Electric points are convenient to the pitches
and use CEE17 blue connectors and are rated at 6 amps. Water points are
near to the end of the pitch rows. There are two toilet blocks. The main
one is in the same building as reception, there is a smaller one a
little further into the site. Both have excellent facilities with seated
toilets and paper provided. At the back of reception is a motorhome
service point and chemical toilet emptying point. On site there is a
restaurant/bar serving fairly standard campsite fair. There is also a
small shop but we did not find it very comprehensive. Reception is very
friendly and English is spoken by all the
staff we came in contact with. They can sell
certain transport tickets and can even book tickets for some events in
Vienna. There is site wide WiFi which is free and of a reasonable speed.
Immediately
outside the site is a children’s playground
which can also be accessed from the site direct.
This campsite is ideally suited for a visit to Vienna which is a
fifteen minute train ride away from Klosterneuberg and the station is
virtually outside the campsite. Ticketing is slightly complicated in
that Klosterneuberg is outside of the City Zone so you have to purchase
tickets to Vienna (Heiligenstadt Bahnhof) and then buy another ticket
when you get to Vienna to enable use of buses, trams and U-Bahn. The
exception to this is if you buy a Vienna Card from the site for a
minimum of 48 hours which covers all transport and offers discounts on
many of the attractions in the City. The town of Klosterneuberg is well
worth and
explore, in particular the world famous
Monastery. They are also famous for producing different varieties of
wine which can be purchased from the monastery shop. There is a good
choice of restaurants in the town, just check for opening days. For food
shopping there are many small shops in the town and supermarkets on the
outskirts. To the west of the town is a large Interspar.
