At the chicken coop
A parking spot near Hamm, close enough to the motorway that a distant rumble remains in the evening, yet surrounded by fields and meadows. The spot is designed for self-sufficient campers: bring what you need. Sheep, geese and chickens roam between the vehicles; pheasants or a deer sometimes stand in the mist at the field's edge in the morning. There is no entertainment programme. It's about five kilometres to Hamm, to the Maximilianpark with its glass elephant; the Cappenberger See is worth a trip.1
What VanSite writes
„We have lovely pitches in direct proximity to the motorway yet nestled in beautiful nature. The pitches are suitable for self-sufficient campers. All around you'll find sheep, geese, chickens and plenty of wildlife such as pheasants, hares and deer.“

Sights in the area1
Maximilianpark Hamm
A former colliery turned leisure park; the Glaselefant, built from the old coal washhouse, is visible from afar and the classic choice for a family day out.
Cappenberger See
A small woodland lake near Lünen with a circular path and boat rental; a quiet afternoon outing for when the pitch gets too silent.
Halterner Stausee
A large reservoir in the northern Ruhr area with a sandy beach and lido; the place to head on hot days when swimming beats watching wildlife.
