Wohnmobilstellplatz am Hallenbad Balve

03 · The write-up

What it is like to arrive here.

Free to park. The services are the part that usually costs in Germany, so expect a meter on whatever you fill or empty here, and carry 1 and 2 euro coins for it.

This is a Wohnmobilstellplatz, a spot set aside for motorhomes to park, run by Stadt Balve. The record gives 3 spaces, so it is small enough to fill up on a summer weekend.

No limit is published for this one. Where German Gemeinden do post a limit it is almost always between one and three nights, so plan on that, and read the board at the entrance for the number that applies here.

On site: drinking water, an electric hook-up and a waste drain. Recorded as not here: toilets. Nothing is recorded either way about showers, so do not count on it.

Opening hours on the record read 24/7. Winter is the thing to watch in Germany regardless: water points on open-air sites get shut off over the cold months because a full pipe freezes and splits, so from about November assume the tap is dry even when the parking is open.

Stadt Balve publishes the details for this site, checked 2026-07-22, and that page is linked below. The board at the entrance and the Gemeinde’s current word beat any listing, this one included.
