Kompas Camping Nieuwpoort

Very well-maintained chalets

Very clean and heated restrooms. You can wash dishes inside with hot water. One downside: at some S sites, you can’t extend the awning. Not enough grass. Lovely surroundings, great for biking. Very friendly staff at the front desk. We’ll definitely be back.

We were here for a pre-arranged gathering of 45 RVs. On Friday evening, a dinner was planned for those who signed up, with a choice of spaghetti or lasagna. We were supposed to be in the dining room by 7 p.m. There was only one person there to take drink orders, pour drinks, and serve them—all for about 80 people. That same person also had to … serve the food. There was only one person in the kitchen as well. Several lasagnas were burnt, and if you sent them back to the kitchen, there were no others left, so you ended up with no food. I was one of the last to receive spaghetti. I could finish the portion in two bites; there was a teaspoonful of grated cheese on top, and the bottom of my plate was full of water. You couldn’t get a second drink because the waiter didn’t have time for that—he also had to ring up the drinks. The other incident involved one of the members. He couldn’t park with our group because he had a trailer. These people had arrived on Friday at 1:00 p.m. and, without any additional instructions, had set up in the designated spot. That evening after dinner, there was a note under the windshield wiper telling them they had to park the RV in reverse and place the trailer on the other side. As a result, they had to move chairs, tables, bicycles, etc., and reposition the RV in the dark.
The rules state that you’re not allowed to lay down a mat, but there’s hardly any grass to be found either. We had to get in and out of the camper in the mud. The sites are spacious and the restrooms are clean, but that’s to be expected given what you pay—because if you want to stay longer at the same spot, even after you’ve already made a reservation, you have to pay an extra 15 euros in reservation fees. This is a campground that’s just out to fleece you. Too big and uninviting. In our group of 45 campers, many shared the same opinion. We won’t be coming back here. For the organizers, it was anything but pleasant. It was our 10th gathering, and the first time things didn’t go as planned. Too bad. Read more Show less

We booked a lovely lodge for two people for one weekend; the reservation was made six months ago. Upon arrival, we were given a coupon for September—mussel month—offering mussels at half price, to be arranged at the resort’s restaurant. We thought, “Oh, cool!” so we went right away to make a reservation, only to be told very bluntly at the … restaurant that they were already fully booked for that same evening—and even for that afternoon and the following evening?!?! What good is that to us now? In the future, please let people who’ve booked a stay know this, so they understand that this is just a promotional offer.
Otherwise, our stay was okay—except that water kept pooling in the shower because the drain was clogged. We reported this upon checkout; everyone should do the same to spare the next guests any trouble. Read more Show less
