The DoktorSee Camping and Leisure Park in Rinteln is a versatile holiday destination for cyclists, families, and those seeking relaxation. Located on the artificially created Doktorsee Lake, which originated from a former gravel pit, the 152-hectare site offers a wide range of leisure and overnight accommodation options.The campsite is ideally located for cyclists: Directly on the Weser Cycle Path and only about 1 km from Rinteln's historic old town, a bike tour can be perfectly combined with a stay at the lake. The spacious pitches are equipped with electricity, fresh water, sewage, and satellite connections and offer the right amenities for tents, RVs, and caravans.Those traveling without their own camping equipment can choose from a variety of rental accommodations – from cozy sleeping barrels to comfortable chalets and vacation apartments with lake views. The well-maintained restrooms are partially accessible and located close to the pitches.  The Doktorsee itself invites you to swim and relax with its 800-meter-long sandy beach, a large water slide, and a spacious sunbathing lawn. There are several playgrounds and a varied entertainment program for children. Active vacationers can enjoy stand-up paddleboarding, pedal boating, or adventure mini golf. The floating lake sauna with a lake view also offers a unique wellness experience.  Dogs are welcome on site. There is a dog play area and four dog showers for cooling off. However, dogs are not allowed in the swimming lake, although appropriate facilities are available. Guests can enjoy culinary delights in two restaurants directly on the lake, and a bread roll service ensures a relaxed start to the day. An on-site grocery store offers additional supplies, especially during peak season. A special highlight is the annual summer festival "Doktorsee in Flames" with live music and a large fireworks display, which attracts many visitors.
