It was very disappointing to drive more than 45 minutes only to find the pool closed, even though Google says it's open!

I’d really love to give 5 stars because we had a truly wonderful vacation—the campground is super clean, the spray park is brand-new... but unfortunately, the outdoor pool was closed during the holiday weekend when temperatures were over 30 degrees. The other downside is that there’s no store on the campground. Even the lady at the Camping Cafe wasn’t allowed to sell me a bottle of something to drink outside the building or on the patio—I just wanted something to drink while setting up. But despite that, the staff was very friendly. We’d definitely come back and recommend it—maybe next time with an outdoor pool.

Ich würde wirklich gerne 5 Sterne geben , weil wir einen echt schönen Urlaub hatten, der Platz ist super sauber, der Spraypark brandneu....aber leider bei über 30 Grad am Feiertagswochenende das Freibad geschlossen. Der andere Minuspunkt ist, das es keinen Laden auf dem Platz gibt. Selbst die Dame am Camping Cafe durfte mir keine Flasche zu Trinken ausserhalb des Gebäudes bzw der Terrasse verkaufen, ich wollte nur etwas beim aufbauen trinken. Aber nichts desto trotz war das Personal sehr freundlich. Wir würden sich grundsätzlich wiederkommen und empfehlen, das nächste mal vielleicht mit Freibad
