Which stellplatz in Fussen?

[GAVLAD]

Hi Funsters

I'm just looking at Fussen which is on our stop off list and noticed that there's 3 Stellplatz which all look next to one another and with varying reviews on CC.
Which one have you stayed at and what was your reason of choice?

BTW, going at this time of year, we may not have that choice if its poor availability, but thought I'd ask anyway.
Thanks

2 of them belong to the same company I think the bottom one next to the roundabout is the best one slightly bigger pitches and it also has washing machines and a cafe

The first one the pitches are very narrow but it does have a shop where you can buy motorhome accessories

When we were their (couple of yrs ago) they were all ramed but on the same road a little further out there were a couple of nice campsites for ever few euro extra.

I agree. When we were there last year the Stellplätze were so full that we decided to splash out a few €'s and go to the campsite at Brunnen. It was only 5 km from the town by bike and was very good.
It was also closer to Hohenschwangau than from the Stellplätze.
The only disappointment was that there wasn't any water in the Forggensee last year because they were repairing the dam.

Also, Camping Hopfensee looked quite good. We rode there on the bikes. It is even closer to Füssen but the wrong side for Hohenschwangau if you want to visit Schloss Neuschwanstein

Your disappointment is someone else's treat - how many people have seen it empty ?

Fantastically placed campsite and a fantastic campsite. Great for cycling.

It reminds me of when we went to Schluchsee in the Black Forrest in 1983. It had been emptied for the first time in over 50 years. Thousands of people visited and there was a traffic jam coming from Freiburg.
It was possible to walk along the old Post Road which had been used by the old stage coaches. It was still visible, complete with stone bridge and tree stumps.
I still have a commemorative newspaper.

We recently stayed on the sports centre / caravan accessories one . At first glance I didn’t want to stay but it was quite late in evening so just wanted to stop. We had visited Neuschwanstein at 5pm to 8pm when it was much quieter and plenty of room in car park. The last bus up is at 5:30 pm but we walked up. We had thought of staying in the carpark but when we got back to the van we were the last vehicle there so decided against it.

At the stellplatz, we found a marked out space with smaller vans either side and the hot shower was welcome.
Handy Lidl along the road. The next morning we cycled into Füssen for a look around. It was a convenient stop and for that I would recommend it.

We have a few places in the north of England where ghost towns appear at the end of summer. A bit spooky.

Fussen is lovely but another must see, down the road, is Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Must be the stockbroker belt of Germany. Well worth a look. Campsite a short ride into town. Last time we were there the Yanks still had a manned "spooks" base.

We have also used the sports centre site - quieter than the big one down the road but close enough to the shops. Decent toilets and showers. We cycled in to town and also pedalled round the castle tour. Decent stop for a couple of nights before the run across Austria
