    De rust zelf. Hulp bij probleempjes. Vriendelijk. Comfortabele stijlvolle chalets. Ruime buitenruimte met terras. Een puntje van kritiek: de 3 trapjes om in de chalets te gaan zijn hoog, te hoog voor ons 91 jarige mama. Toplocatie

    Geweldig gelegen in het groene hart ten Noorden van Turnhout. Grote camping, maar toch gezellig. Kinderen leven zich uit terwijl de ouders zich kunnen ontspannen. Helemaal tot rust komen in de groene natuur. De camping heeft heel wat faciliteiten voor jong en minder jong (Speeltuinen, voetbalveld, basketbalveld, pingpongtafels, fitnesstoestellen, ...) Sanitair is in orde. Broodjes service voor 's morgens is een aanrader. Gewoonweg top!

    De camping is fantastisch gelegen. Mooi groen domein. Met zwemvijver, visvijver en roeivijver. De tentplaatsen zijn groen, proper en ruim met stromend water en elektriciteit. Douches zijn ver weg van de kampeerplaatsen, niet echt handig. Sanitair was niet echt proper, toiletpapier was meerdere keren op en werd niet aangevuld. Ook 's nachts extreem veel lawaai door bepaalde campinggasten.

    Wij zaten in chalet Taos 6p Kamers: pluspunten: 2 badkamers, vaatwasser. Minpunten: opstapje bij deur een uitdaging voor mensen die slecht ter been zijn, slot voordeur is niet eenvoudig op slot te doen, oven niet warm gekregen (is oude gasoven). Park: pluspunten: speeltuinen oke, zwemvijver prima om in te zwemmen. Als ouder kan je lekker op het strandje zitten/ liggen, bosrijke omgeving, auto kan je dichtbij bij chalet plaatsen, dichtbij Turnhout. Minpunten: geen campingwinkel aanwezig. Wel mogelijk om via app broodjes te bestellen en automaat aanwezig waar je eea aan eten uit kan halen. Restaurant prijzig. Wel lekkere/goede mosselen gegeten. Weinig parkeerplaatsen bij restaurant. Service: Uitleg wat kort. Te weinig personeel in restaurant.

    Wij kunnen eerlijkheidshalve de kamers en ligging nog niet beoordelen want hebben nog niet op de kamping verbleven, maar toch geven wij graag al 5 sterren qua service. Wij werden geconfronteerd met een erg ziek familielid die moest worden opgenomen in het ziekenhuis. Vanuit de camping werd er met zeer veel begrip gereageerd, heel fijn in zo'n moeilijk moment. En over enkele weken kunnen we zo alsnog genieten van onze vakantie samen.
