Is the water clean at Etang Du Terrain de Camping?

Etang Du Terrain de Camping is a lake bathing site with an official EU Bathing Water rating of Good for the 2025 season — meets the EU bathing-water standard in the latest annual assessment. That annual classification comes from the EU Bathing Water Directive: national authorities test for two indicator bacteria, intestinal enterococci and E. coli, throughout the bathing season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency (EEA) the following spring — the 2025 season's rating was published in spring 2026, and the 2026 season won't be rated until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. On site you'll find Kids' area and Parking. You can park about ~180 m away.

That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. The most reliable swimming window here typically runs from July–September, with the sea usually at its warmest around August. Outside that window the water is cooler and often quieter. It's been a consistently reliable spot too — the rating has held at Good for 5 straight years. Sturzelbronn — the closest town — sits about ~1.1 km from here.

Worth remembering: “Good” isn't a live reading, it's an annual grade — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — set once a year from that season's water samples and describing the average, not this afternoon's conditions. For what the sea is doing right now, check the “Right now” panel and 7-day outlook above. It sits in Moselle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Etang Du Terrain de Camping a safe beach for swimming?

Generally, yes. Etang Du Terrain de Camping holds a Good rating for 2025, the second-best classification, and 11 of 11 classified seasons have met the Excellent-or-Good bar. It's also held steady at Good for 5 straight years.

How cold or warm is the water at Etang Du Terrain de Camping today?

The panel above shows a sample value of around 25°C. This is placeholder data shown because a live marine-weather feed wasn't reachable — it will be replaced automatically once the feed is available. That's the reading right off Moselle.

What's the best month to visit Etang Du Terrain de Camping for swimming?

July–September is typically the most reliable swimming window, with the sea usually warmest in the second half of summer. That applies to the water around Moselle.

What does the water quality rating actually measure?

The grade comes from a full season of official sampling for intestinal enterococci and E. coli, reported to the European Environment Agency each spring under the EU Bathing Water Directive, which assigns Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. Some countries (Croatia, via IZOR) also publish individual in-season samples ahead of that report; Etang Du Terrain de Camping doesn't have that feed yet.

How do you get to Etang Du Terrain de Camping?

By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. The nearest town is Sturzelbronn, about ~1.1 km away.
