    Beautiful campground and spacious. Friendly staff and at the campsite itself you can eat well. The wifi was unfortunately not very good, but that is the only thing. For the rest, we had a great time and would love to come back here again.

    Mooie camping en ruim opgezet. Vriendelijke medewerkers en op de camping zelf kun je goed eten. De wifi was helaas niet zo goed, maar dat is dan ook het enige. Voor de rest hebben we het erg naar onze zin gehad en komen we hier graag nog een keer terug.

    The hiking cottage, nice place, very suitable in my opinion for 2 pers. Back to basics... A cabin that could use an up-grate,fresh look and smell to these times. Would be nice to have running water as well. Modify the description a bit, because wifi, it does not come there.

    Het trekkershutje, mooie plek, zeer geschikt in mijn ogen voor 2 pers. Back to basic... Een hutje die een up-grate,frisse look en geur kan gebruiken naar deze tijd. Zou mooi zijn om ook stromend water te hebben. De beschrijving een beetje aanpassen, want wifi, die komt daar niet.

    We felt very comfortable at the Baals Hei campsite. The site is family and child-friendly, yet quiet, well-kept and pleasantly manageable. The relaxed atmosphere is particularly nice - ideal for switching off for a few days. The staff were friendly and helpful, the pitches were tidy and the surrounding area is ideal for walks and short excursions. For us, it was a lovely place that we would be happy to recommend.

    Wir haben uns auf dem Campingplatz Baals Hei sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Anlage ist Familien- und Kinderfreundlich, aber trotzdem ruhig, gepflegt und angenehm überschaubar. Besonders schön ist die entspannte Atmosphäre – ideal, um ein paar Tage abzuschalten. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Stellplätze waren ordentlich und die Umgebung lädt zu Spaziergängen und kleinen Ausflügen ein. Für uns ein schöner Platz, den wir gerne weiterempfehlen.
