Overview

WMS Schachtholm

Located beside the Nord-Ostsee-Kanal, WMS Schachtholm offers a peaceful camping spot with scenic views of the waterway and adjacent airport.

"Schöner Stellplatz am Nord-Ostsee-Kanal. Liegtcsehr schön ruhig unmittelbar am Flugplatz Schachtholm. Der störte uns nicht, denn es starten dort nur kleinere Flieger und in der Nacht ist kein Flugbetrieb. Die Plätze sind ein wenig abschüssig, aber grunsätzlich ausgleichbar. Die zwischen Stallplatz und Kanal liegende Straße ist zwar hörbar, stört aber nicht. Die Bezahlung erfolgt praktisch über einen Automaten und einen Brötchenservice gibt es auch. Was ich nicht so gut finde ist die kostenpflichtige Entsorgung. Nein, kein CamperClean, sondern Standardausguss..."

"Schön gelegen und ruhig, wenn man sich vom Flugplatz nicht stören lässt. Teilweise gute Sicht auf den Kanal, Wiesenplätze mit meist leichter Schräglage. Entsorgungsstation, man muss allerdings einen Grauwasserschlauch haben. Strom an Bezahlsäulen."

"WMS Schachtholm is a place where you are so close to the giants sailing majestically through the canal that you probably can't get any closer. There are very good walking paths along the canal during which you can admire beautiful bulk carriers, container ships and small yachts. Next to the camping site is an airport which in turn allows you to watch the pilots maneuver and their beautiful machines. In the building next to the airport there is a restaurant..."

"Schöner Platz um Schiffe im NOK zu beobachten (je nach Stellplatz). Die vorbeiführende Straße stört Nachts nicht. In der zweiten Reihe kann man das Fluggeschehen vom Flughafen gut beobachten, allerdings ist hier zu unserer Zeit nicht viel los (Mitte September). Platz liegt etwas abseits, nächster Discounter in Jeverstet ca. 5 km. Gute Möglichkeit mit dem Fahrrad am NOK zu fahren."

"Wir waren vom 20.06. - 21.06.25 dort. Sehr schöner Stellplatz. Alle Stellplätze sind groß mit Wiese und eingeteilt. Wir hatten einen tollen Blick auf den NOK. Abends kam sogar die AMADEA vorbei Brötchenservice gab es auch."

"Einfacher Stellplatz ohne WC und Dusche mit Blick auf den Kanal und Flugplatz. Beides sehr spannend. Ent- und Versorgung gegen Gebühr. NUR Kartenzahlung! Dies ist aber super easyJet. Brötchenservice."
