The 4-star KNAUS Camping Park Essen is located on the Ruhr and directly on the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path. Near the camping park you have a connection to the S-Bahn, which takes you directly to the city centre of Essen or to Düsseldorf and Cologne without changing trains. From Essen's main railway station, you can of course also reach all the other metropolises of the Ruhr region, Cologne-Bonn airport and the nearby cities of Wuppertal or Münster quickly and easily.
Numerous museums and monuments offer their guests the opportunity to learn about the unique and special history of the city of Essen and its industrial culture.
The KNAUS Camping Park is also the ideal starting point for a visit to the numerous consumer fairs that take place all year round at the nearby exhibition centre: The Essen Motor Show, the world equestrian fair "Equitania" and the consumer fair "Reise + Camping" are just some of the annual highlights.
The fairground is also a popular and first-class event location for concerts, musical performances, show programmes and large-scale events of all kinds. There is something to suit every taste here.
