Effective as of April 18, 2026
Preliminary Remarks
(1) These terms and conditions apply to the rental of campsites and recreational facilities at the Rosenfelder Strand Ostsee Camping campground, Ulrich Bormann, Rosenfelder Strand 1, 23749 Grube (Landlord), and the respective booker (Tenant).
(2) By booking or using the campground’s services, the guest agrees to these terms and conditions.
(3) Any terms and conditions of the guest that conflict with or deviate from these terms and conditions shall not be recognized unless the landlord has expressly agreed to their validity in writing.
(4) The following terms and conditions apply to tourist (short-term) stays.
(5) Rosenfelder Strand Ostsee Camping is a recreational property that may not be used for permanent residence.
- §1 – Opening and closing hours
(1) Generally speaking, the campground is open annually from late March through early November and is closed the rest of the year.
(2) A section of the campground is operated as a “winter RV park” outside the camping season, with access controlled by a separate gate. The specific rules of use applicable to this can be viewed on the rental company’s website under “Winter WoMo Harbor”. During the camping season, this area is normally accessed via the main gate or the front desk.
- §2 – Conclusion of the contract
(1) The tenant may submit offers to enter into a contract with the landlord via email, by phone, in person on-site (“walk-ins”), or through an online booking. For online bookings, clicking the “Confirm” button constitutes a binding offer to the landlord to enter into a rental agreement. The offer is considered accepted only once the booking has been confirmed by sending a booking confirmation; for “walk-in” bookings, this is done by providing a digital or paper booking confirmation. Information provided by telephone, side agreements, and other representations of any kind shall only become part of the contract if they are confirmed by the landlord via email or in writing.
(2) When booking a booth, the reservation is made for a specific category, not for a specific booth. Any reference to a booth number in the booking confirmation is merely an indication of our intention to reserve that booth, but does not constitute a guarantee of its availability. The renter may make a reservation for a specific parking space for an additional fee in accordance with the landlord’s price list.
(3) The minimum age for bookings is generally 18 years. Minors may only use a campsite or rental accommodation if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Exceptions to this rule may be made in special cases and by prior arrangement. In such cases, written (hand-signed) consent from the parent or legal guardian must be presented upon arrival.
- §3 – Prices, minimum rental period, discounts, and payments
(1) The current rates and seasonal periods can be viewed on our website at www.rosenfelder-strand.de. Rates per person are based on the guest’s age at the start of the stay, not at the time of booking.
(2) Water, sewage, Wi-Fi, and showers are included in the rate per night. Use of the washing machines and dryers is subject to a separate fee.

(4) When applying discounts, only the highest discount rate applies. Multiple discounts cannot be combined.
