Streng genommen gibt es keinen Wohnmobilstellplatz im Landschaftspark, sondern nur eine einzelne sogenannte Entsorgungsstation, in der neben der Entsorgung des Bord-WC's auch noch Strom und Wasser aufgenommen werden können. Auf unserem Besucherparkplatz an der Emscherstraße lassen wir es ansonsten zu, dass Wohnmobile - auf eigene Gefahr - dort auch über Nacht stehen.

Eine Reservierung sowie ein Daueranschluss für Wasser, Abwasser und Strom ist nicht möglich.

Preise der Entsorgungsstation (keine Kartenzahlung möglich!):

• Frischwasser: 20 ct = 15l, 50 ct = 40l, 1€ = 80l
• Strom: 1€ pro Stunde
• Grau- und Schwarzwasser (keine Bodensenke vorhanden): 50 ct

Witterungsbedingt kann es zu Ausfällen der Entsorgungsstation kommen. Eine Servicenummer finden Sie an der Station.
