Summary created out of 256 reviews

The campsite is ideally located near the beach and features clean, spacious pitches with modern sanitary facilities that are regularly cleaned. Guests appreciate the friendly staff, children's playgrounds, and peaceful atmosphere. However, many campers express concerns about the limited number of toilets and showers relative to the number of pitches, leading to queues during busy periods. Additionally, there is criticism regarding strict pitch placement rules, the absence of a traditional shop (only vending machines), and the closed snack bar during the season.

    The campground was clean and in a good location.
    However, we had a very negative experience upon checkout.
    The receptionist was very unfriendly and unhelpful.
    Almost aggressive.
    This has never happened to us in 40 years of camping.
    We had paid for the campground the day before. The gate wouldn’t open, so we wanted to let the front desk know.
    The response was completely unacceptable.

    Der Platz war sauber und gut gelegen.
    Allerdings bei Abreise sehr negative Erfahrung.
    Der Rezeptionist war sehr unfreundlich und nicht hilfsbereit.
    Fast schon aggressiv.
    Ist uns in 40 Jahren Camping noch nie passiert.
    Der Platz wurde am Vortag bezahlt. Die Schranke öffnete sich nicht, wir wollten dies an Rezeption mitteilen.
    Die Reaktion war völlig unakzeptabel.

    The booking process is misleading; we actually wanted the other spot. The restrooms are average at best; the spot is okay, but it’s not worth the price. For people like us, who were looking for a place where we could take a shower, charge our devices, and go on a bike ride—and therefore didn’t need to be near the beach—it’s too expensive. The 12:00 p.m. checkout time also makes that difficult.

    Das Buchungsverfahren führt in die Irre, wir wollten auf den anderen Platz. Die Sanitäranlagen sind bestenfalls Durchschnitt, der Platz ist okay, aber zu einem schlechten Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Für Leute wie wir, die wir einen Platz suchten, wo wir duschen, unsere Akkus aufladen und eine Radtour machen können, die Strandnähe also nicht brauchen, zu teuer. Auch die Check-out-Zeit 12 Uhr verhindert so etwas.

    Stayed here for one night. Paid 74 euros. Checked the map to see which spots were available. According to the site, everything was fully booked. So I paid 15 euros for a nice spot in the dunes.
    Unfortunately, these spots were next to houses with a barking dog that wouldn’t stop; apart from one RV, the dune area was empty. To make matters worse, the water in the shower was cold, too.
    In a word, a huge disappointment

    Een nachtje hier verbleven. 74 euro betaald. Op de kaart gekeken welke plekken beschikbaar waren. Alles stond volgens de site vol geboekt. Dus 15 euro betaald voor een nette duin plek.
    Helaas stonden deze plekken bij huizen waar een blaffende hond zat die aan de gang bleef, was het duin gedeelte op een camper na leeg. Tot overmaat was het water bij de douche ook nog eens koud.
    In een woord een grote teleurstelling
