Camping south of Berlin

Back in July my girlfriend and I went camping with a bunch of friends. They found this campsite next to a lake to the south of Berlin. Easy to get to by train and someone from the site picked us up from the train station, very nice. The nearby town is called Dahmsdorf and the camp site is here:
  Its a good place if you want to get away from the city and be in a quiet forested area. Germans are not fond of noise in general and it seems our group (about 20) were talking a bit too loud (after 10pm) one evening and the owner got a bit grumpy. We think someone complained but we were not all that loud, no music just laughing. In any event, if you're looking for a QUIET place to camp with a tent near Berlin this could be a good place to consider.

  There's a path that (I think) goes all the way around the lake, Grosser Storkower See. That would be a very long walk though. We walked down a dirt road for about 20 minutes with wild forest on the lake side and planted forest on the other. It was hot and sunny so the shade was welcome.

The beach and swimming area at the campsite. Nice water.

  Not much in the way of wildlife around other than mosquito's, dragon flies, birds etc. I'd like to find something a bit more rough and wild, perhaps there's still a bit of the Black Forest out there somewhere?
