The beautifully landscaped and clean campsite has a tent area, a touring area, a motorhome parking area, and a permanent camping area. You can stay overnight without a tent in the small fairy cottage during your hike and enjoy a relaxing swim in the lake. If you get hungry, there's a restaurant, and the town is also nearby. It's the municipal campsite.

Aschendorf Moor Trail Hikers can experience a piece of authentic Papenburg on this trail. The Aschendorf Moor Trail is a 1.8-kilometer circular route that leads through the "Aschendorfer Obermoor / Wildes Moor" nature reserve. Various information panels provide information about the flora and fauna of this unique habitat, parts of which have been preserved here and are being regenerated in rewetting areas. The panels also point out the areas of still-living raised bog, which continues to grow upwards year after year: a few mineral salts from the air and rainwater are sufficient for the continuous peat formation. The hike along the Moor Trail is particularly attractive from June to September, when heather and campanula bloom pink – a magnificent sight, especially from the viewing platform. The Aschendorf Moor Trail can be explored independently year-round, and guided tours for groups are available upon reservation.

It is best to park in the Poggenpohl campsite car park, from there it is maybe 300 meters to the lake.

The moor path is almost two kilometers long and leads through the nature reserve "Aschendorfer Obermoor / Wild Moor". On various boards you can inform yourself about the flora and fauna. Incidentally, the path is most beautiful between June and September, when the heath flowers.
