    We went swimming. It was a nice pool, but it was really crowded. It was a little dangerous in some spots. The lifeguards are good, though, and they keep a close eye on things.

    Wij zijn wezen zwemmen. Leuk zwembad wel heel erg druk bezocht. Soms hier en daar wat gevaarlijk. Het toezicht is wel goed en let goed op.

    A nice, cozy campground.
    I don’t know what other people are complaining about, but it’s quiet in the evenings. If there’s an organized event, it ends at 10:30 p.m. No disturbances, no noise.
    The spray park is great. The lifeguards are great, and there are always plenty of them on duty. Rules are there to be followed and apply equally to everyone. Great.
    Nice, large playground.
    Some people are better off not staying at a campground and just spending their vacation in their own backyard. That way, you don’t have to deal with loudmouths, kids playing (including their own grandkids), neighbors chatting, ...

    Leuke gezellige camping.
    Weet niet waar anderen mensen het halen maar 's avonds is het stil. Als er iets georganiseerd wordt stopt het om 22:30. Geen overlast, geen lawaai.
    Spraypark is top. Redders zijn top en er staan er ook altijd veel aan bad. Regels zijn en om nageleefd te worden en zijn voor iedereen hetzelfde. Top.
    Leuke grote speeltuin.
    Sommige mensen gaan beter niet op een camping staan en gaan in hun eigen tuin op vakantie. Dan heb je geen last van keffers, spelende kinderen (waaronder hun eigen kleinkind) , gebabbel van de buren, ...

    If I could give 0 stars for service, I would have done so here. You pay an arm and a leg for a glamping tent. When it turns out that the hot water heater isn’t working and you bring it up, they say, “That’s not our problem.” After you stand your ground, a friendly employee comes along and fixes the problem in about 30 minutes. Three hours later, Lode comes over to provoke you, berates you, and accuses you of rude behavior. Ludo keeps provoking us and casually tells us to please leave the campground. A disgrace to Limburg’s hospitality industry. It was our first time at Willem Tell Campground, but they’ll never see us there again. People, read the reviews before you book—unfortunately, we didn’t.

    Als je 0 sterren kon geven op service zou ik dat hier gedaan hebben. Je betaalt je blauw voor een glampingtent. Als blijkt dat de boiler van het warm water niet werkt en je dit aankaart vertellen ze “ons probleem niet”. Nadat je op je strepen staat komt een vriendelijke medewerker mee en verhelpt het probleem door er 30 min mee bezig te zijn. Na 3 uur komt Lode provoceren verhaal halen, scheld je de huid vol en beticht je van onbeschoft gedrag. Ludo blijft herhaaldelijk uitdagen en zegt doodleuk gelieve van de Kamping te verdwijnen. Een schande voor de horeca en de gastvrijheid van Limburg. Eerste keer bij Willem Tell camping maar ons zien ze daar nooit weer. Mensen lees de reviews voor je boekt, wij hadden dat helaas niet gedaan.

    Went to pool as staying at affiliated campsite. Hard to know what to say about it as we had to leave because of an extraordinary and dated clothing policy. In short my 6 year old daughter was wearing a long sleeve uv protected swimming top (not a t shirt, swimming material). It was 30 degrees blazing sun so a sensible thing to put on a child to not have to constantly suncream after going in water (though they don't seem to have caught on in Belgium). Unfortunately thus was deemed to be against their policy against t shirts. I tried to explain what it was, but was met with the usual 'rules are rules'. "What would happen if I let everyone break the rules?" I don't know mate, less skin cancer maybe. The pool would have a sort of faded charm but for the excess enforcement of bad rules.

    A really nice campground with friendly staff. The owner, in particular, is a kind woman who’s always willing to help. Especially for a campground, the pool and its amenities are truly generous. We were here on very hot days, and while the pool does get crowded then, it’s still very manageable.
    The “private” bathrooms in the restroom building are also a nice touch. You do have to pay €0.50 to unlock the bathroom, but in return, you can expect a clean bathroom equipped with a toilet, shower, sink, and a bathtub with a whirlpool feature.
    You can access the regular restrooms and showers without paying. You pay for showers using a SEP card.
    There are plenty of fun things to do in the area.
    The comfort campsite is equipped with an electrical hookup, water tap, and drain.
    The entertainment team is very enthusiastic and will ensure your children have a great time.
    I’ve read a few negative reviews here and there, but I didn’t notice any of those issues when we were there.
    As far as we’re concerned, this campground comes highly recommended—especially if you have (younger) children!

    Erg fijne camping met vriendelijk personeel. Vooral de eigenaresse is een vriendelijke vrouw die met je meedenkt. Zeker voor een camping is het zwembad en de bijbehorende voorzieningen echt royaal te noemen. Wij waren hier op erg warme dagen en dan is het zwembad wel druk maar nog steeds zeer acceptabel.
    Ook erg fijn zijn de "prive" badkamers in het toiletgebouw. Je betaald weliswaar €0,50 om de badkamer te openen maar dan kun je ook een schone badkamer verwachten voorzien van toilet, douche, wastafel en ligbad met bubbels.
    De normale wc's en douches kun je openen zonder te betalen. Douchen betaal je middels een SEP-kaart.
    In de omgeving zijn genoeg leuke dingen te doen.
    De comfort kampeerplaats is voorzien van een stroomaansluiting, waterkraan en afvoer.
    Animatieteam is erg enthousiast en bieden je kinderen een hele leuke tijd.
    Ik lees hier en daar wat negatieve recensies maar deze heb ik niet herkend toen wij er waren.
    Wat ons betreft is deze camping een aanrader, en al helemaal als je (jongere) kinderen hebt!
