Camping Zum Jone-Bur ****

Couple+car+7.5m Caravan
We chose to stay at Zum Jones to re visit Monschau again after 25yrs. Access with my outfit was not a problem, the site is a mix of seasonal, static, touring and tents. The walk from the site into Monschau is a good 3.5km, quite pleasant, downhill through woodland, but it is uphill on the return and is hard going on a hot day and probably worse on a wet day. A day in Monschau was enough for us but we did have a drive round the Eiffel National Park and thought it would be worth another visit in the future.
The bar and restaurant on site was not open so we cannot comment. The showers use a token which provides hot water for 5min, (which was plenty), The reception did close from 13.00 - 15.00 and the barrier stayed down for the same time so there was no vehicle access during that time.( not a problem if you plan ahead and it suited us because we wanted a later departure).
Typical of the area, the site accepts cash only, it\'s either to avoid tax or cards must cost them more in Germany to process.

We stayed here for 3 nights on our way home mainly to visit Monschau which is nearby but would be a steep walk back so we took the car. A lovely place despite the rain. Site staff were helpful and spoke good English and the site is in a good location with Aldi (undergoing refurbishment when we were there), Lidl & other shops nearby. Our pitch was fairly small and up a steep bank and would have been difficult without a mover. Weather was poor while we were there but we also visited the Rursee which was a good day out and the Eifel area would have been easy to visit if we'd had more time, Free WiFi around the restaurant area which worked well and good toilet facilities. We'd visit again if in the area.

Had to ask for barrier number and tokens for the showers. Electricity was tripped on our space and the
Lady seemed to blame us. Tripped again next morning although we only had the fridge and kettle on. Although ACSI says restaurant is open all year it was closed and did not open until May. No bar. Asked about restaurants in near village and was told there were 3 which there were but she omitted to tell us Tuesday was a rest day and therefore they were all closed. Chemical toilet disposal was padlocked closed and grey waste point difficult to find -not on the site map.swimming pool full of rubbish and obviously not emptied from last season. No parking at entrance for caravans when you arrive although there is hard standing that has been fenced off. Would not recommend.

Visited the site in May 2016 and was very much impressed with the facilities, the shower block was first class with plenty of hot water, the restaurant was reasonable priced and the meal excellent, would definitely return.

Toilets modern and clean. Pitches reasonably sized, and well kept. Have visited this site before and would definitely return in the future
