    Great location for a one-night camping trip. The campground used to be well-designed, with a thoughtfully planned layout.

    It’s a bit dated, though, and it seems like many of the permanent sites are occupied by “regulars.”
    The opening hours for the restaurant and bar are very limited!!

    But it’s wonderful to go for a walk in the forest right next to the campground! You can just walk right in!

    Prima locatie voor een nachtje weg op de camping. Park zat ooit goed in elkaar, over nagedacht qua indeling.

    Wel verouderd, lijken veel "eigen mensen" vaste staanplaatsen te zijn.
    De openingstijden van horeca zijn erg beperkt!!

    Wel heerlijk wandelen in het bos wat direct aan de camping zit! Loop je zo in!

    Nice campground, friendly staff—too bad the owner can’t handle it.
    We had made a reservation and were supposed to arrive between 12 and 1. We were told that our spot wasn’t available yet. Around 2:30 p.m., the spot still wasn’t available. When we went to check, we heard from the people parked across from us that the previous guest had already left at 9 a.m.
    After we reported this to her and asked for a pass to drive in and a pass for the restrooms and shower, she told us she hadn’t had time for that and that I should just ask at the front desk.
    No one had been there all afternoon, so we followed someone onto the grounds, set up our RV, and drove off the next day in the same way.
    The owner was quite busy holding her hips and chatting with everyone who wanted to hear her stories.
    Too bad you have to pay €32 for that.
    Still, 5 stars because the staff more than makes up for her clumsiness.

    Mooie camping, vriendelijk personeel, jammer dat de uitbaatster het niet aan kan.
    We hadden geboekt en zouden tussen 12 en 1 aankomen. We kregen te horen dat ons plek nog niet vrij was. Omstreeks 14:30 was als plek nog steeds niet vrij. Toen we gingen kijken hoorden we van de mensen die er tegenover stonden dat de vorige huurder al om 9 uur weggereden was.
    Nadat we dit melden bij haar en en gevraagd om een batch om binnen te rijden en een batch voor de toiletten en douche, vertelde ze ons dat ze daar geen tijd voor gehad en ik moest het maar aan de balie vragen.
    Daar zat al een hele middag niemand dus zijn we achter iemand aan het terrein op gereden caravan opgesteld de volgende dag op dezelfde manier er terug afgereden.
    Uitbaatster gaat het wel heel druk met haar heupen vast te houden en te praten met iedereen die haar verhalen wou horen.
    Jammer dat je daar €32 voor betaald.
    Toch 5 sterren omdat het personeel het gestuntel van haar ruimschoots goed maakt.

    A pleasant campground.
    Spacious campsites.
    Swimming pool available.
    Ample restroom facilities.
    Electricity and water at every site.
    It is fairly close to a major road, so light sleepers should bring earplugs.

    Aangename camping.
    Ruime kampeerplaatsen.
    Zwembad aanwezig.
    Voldoende sanitair.
    Stroom en water aan elke plek.
    Wel redelijk dicht aan een grote baan, dus een lichte slaper neemt best oordoppen mee.
