My husband and I spent 5 nights here in order to visit Berlin and Potsdam. We paid extra for a stunning pitch by the lakeside which was worth it.
The site is quite well shaded by trees and all pitches are full service. There are pleasant walks from the site. In my view, the facilities were extensive, very clean and well maintained.
There are plenty of loo/shower facilities which were spotless and the adjustable temperature meant we could have a lovely HOT shower! The different seat heights for the loos was a nice touch (medium worked well for me)!
Additional facilities included an indoor washing up block with cookers for tent campers, an outdoor play area and a covered activity area with pool table etc right by the restaurant. The on site restaurant serves good food, reasonably priced in a lovely atmosphere.
With the help of the staff, we bought a travel ticket directly from reception that we used to travel into Berlin by park minibus (free, on demand service), tram and train. Staff gave us directions and numbers for each service which was great.
Potsdam is also worth seeing, especially Sanssouci park itself (which is free)which you can reach by tram but we drove there without a problem (parking was 6 euros for the day).
Many staff speak very good English and were all helpful and friendly.
The shop/reception is open until 9 pm and the atmosphere is very relaxed. I highly recommend and would visit again.

Just a few additions as the last review was 2008. Most of the information has already been given.
We stayed for two nights and spent a whole day visiting Sansouci Park as we had already stayed in Berlin. See another review. There are a vast number of buildings as well as gardens to see. We went directly by bus* to Sansouci Palace leaving the site on the shuttle bus at 9:30am. We chose this because this is the only location where you can buy the 'Premium Day Pass' @ 19 euros and, we thought, good value although there is no way you will see everything in a day. If you like engineering then don't miss the mosque pumping station - right by a tram stop. *We bought an all-day ticket from the m/c in reception at around 4 euros.
We took the bus to the main railway station where there is every shopping / cash / snacking facility you could need and returned to the campsite on the tram from there.
The campsite reception is excellent and, generally, the site has good facilities. We ate at the restaurant both nights - the second night we had to sit outside as the interior was reserved for a function. Freezing cold, but blankets provided! Reasonable value.
As noted before, the WiFi only works in a tiny, tiny area. It is now free.
Total cost for two nights was nearly 65 euros - expensive but worth it for the Potsdam location.

The other review of this site has covered the essential information, so rather than repeat it I will fill the picture out a bit with local colour and personal impressions. The first thing we noticed on arrival was a shoe-rack outside reception with a collection of odd shoes, and a sign in German warning campers not to leave shoes outside as a fox was stealing them! Another amusing feature of the site was that all the toilet cubicles had different names on the doors - girls' names in the mens' toilets and boys' names in the ladies!
We were allocated a pitch and led there by a young woman on a bike. She asked us if we were with the Caravan Club, but I don't know if that meant we got a better or worse pitch! The pitches were not marked in any way and seemed a bit haphazard and on the small side, but of course being August it was pretty full. The ground was sandy and there were lots of trees, which meant we were unable to get a TV signal. As there were so many units crammed in together it was quite noisy. There didn't seem to be many non-Germans, but we met the odd Brit in the washing-up room and exchanged stories and tips - always one of the best ways to find out where to go and what to do!
The site has its own small beach on the lake with a roped-off area for swimming, which was popular with children, and is surrounded by forest criss-crossed by cycle paths.
We took advantage of the free minibus to the tram stop and set off for Berlin. It's a large and complex city with dozens of museums and galleries and it can be quite bewildering, so we took an open-top bus tour to get our bearings, then did some exploration on foot. We only saw a fraction of it so returned next day and visited some museums and art galleries. Unfortunately the queues for the Radio Tower and the Reichstag were enormous. You need to get there early in the morning! Top tip - plan in advance what you want to see, as in a couple of days you can only scratch the surface.
Potsdam itself is a very interesting town with a pleasant pedestrian centre with lots of pavement cafes. The main attraction is Sanssouci Park, a vast wooded park dotted with fountains, statues and ornate Baroque palaces. Entrance to the park is free but there is a fee to enter the various palaces and other buildings - there are at least a dozen, including a Chinese pagoda, a windmill and a Roman bath, and you can choose how many, or how few, to visit. Another top tip - take sandwiches and a drink, because we didn't see many places to get refreshments.

To Find site:- Leave A10, Berliner Ring, at junction 22 towards Potsdam on B1. About 2km after Geltow turn right immediately before railway bridge at sign for campsite. The site is about 2 km along this road which is narrow in places but you can pull over on either side to pass. The site is at the end of the road.
Campingpark Sanssouci has about 170 touring pitches plus a number of permanent caravans situated on the shore of Templiner See. Pitch size varies but is generally OK although some tend to be long and less wide which can give the impression of being packed together. The larger pitches tend to be further into the site. Because of the wooded nature of the site large twin axle caravans would need to proceed with care. Fresh water and waste are handy to all pitches and there is the possibility for water and waste hook-up from the majority. For water you require a key which is provided for a modest returnable deposit of €3. Electricity supply (10amp) is convenient to all pitches. There is a separate tent area near to the lake. The general campsite facilities are all to a very good standard with the addition of private bathrooms to rent and a large room that can be used by tent campers to cook and eat meals under cover. Reception (closed between 13.00 and 15.00 daily) is a good source of local information and they sell a variety of maps and travel cards via a machine, most of the staff speak good English. You may need to enlist the helpful staff in reception to understand exactly what tickets you need! Behind reception is a small shop selling basics and bread rolls can be ordered the day before. There is a bar/restaurant. Only cash is accepted in payment at this campsite. The site has a WiFi point, although only available in the vicinity of the bar and it requires the use of the site's own dongles which requires software (provided) to be loaded onto your computer. The only cost is the hire of the dongle at €2 a day. This is a very busy site where the main purpose of a stay is to visit either Potsdam or Berlin so be aware that, like other sites near main tourist attractions, it is not the place for a peaceful/restful stay! It is also quite an expensive site with average fees for 2 of around €30. (Date of visit May 2008)
The majority of people that stay at this site do so to visit either Potsdam or Berlin via the excellent transport links. The site provide a free shuttle bus to/from Pirschheide Bahnhof/tram stop. There is a Park and Ride facility at Pirschheide but this gets full during the week so the site shuttle might be the better option. Local transport tickets can be purchased at reception. There are lots of cycleways in the vicinity of the site. Park Sanssouci is a level, mainly off road, cycle away. Supermarkets and fuel stations are dotted along the B1 although traffic wise going away from Potsdam is quieter.
