Summary created out of 235 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.

    Good location. The dune landscape was a lovely touch, but the site isn’t suitable for large RVs. Hothup was okay. The private restroom/shower was out of service for one day due to technical issues. Two technicians and the manager came to check it out, and in the end we received a key and a restaurant gift certificate as an apology. The restaurant was crowded and noisy; there were technical issues there as well, so our food was forgotten. After 1.5 hours, we politely asked about it. The waiter was clearly embarrassed and did everything he could to make it up to us!! The staff was friendly and helpful, but overall there’s still room for improvement!! At check-in, unfortunately, no one spoke German, their English was poor, and there was no orientation.
    The playground for kids was well-designed, but there wasn’t a single shaded spot for parents and children. An ice cream truck also stops by twice a day. The beach is nearby, and there are good bike paths.... Be careful on the wide beach promenade!!!

    Guter Standort. Die Idee mit der Dünenlandschaft sehr schön, aber für große Wohnmobile ungeeignet. Hothup war in Ordnung. Die private Toilette/Dusche konnte 1Tag nicht benutzt werden, technische Probleme. Wir hatten 2 Techniker und den Chef vor Ort und am Ende einen Schlüssel und als Entschuldigung einen Restaurantgutschein. Restaurant voll und laut, auch hier gab es wieder technische Probleme und daher wurde unser Essen vergessen. Nach 1.5h haben wir mal freundlich nachgefragt. Dem Kellner war das sichtlich peinlich und er hat alles dafür getan um es wieder gut zumachen!! Personal freundlich, hilfsbereit aber alles im ganzen noch ausbaufähig!! An der Anmeldung leider kein Deutsch und schlechtes Englisch und keine Einweisung.
    Spielplatz für Kinder gut gemacht aber kein einziges Schattenplätzchen für Eltern und Kind. Eismann kommt auch 2x/Tag vorbeigefahren. Strand unweit,gute Fahrradwege....Vorsicht auf der breiten Strandpromende.!!!

    Not great. We chose a "dune pitch" thinking it would be near the beach. It's just a camper spot with lots of sand dumped all around which is very messy. The toilet block of three showers blocked with hair is not enough for everyone. Tents and campers are parked less than one metre apart. In the UK the safe distance is six metres by law (fire risk). There is no swimming pool despite the misleading photos on the website, there is just a splash area for children. Not many people use the bar or restaurant because it's expensive. At night it's not that quiet because local dogs bark and there is a large crow rookery in the trees nearby which wake you early in the morning. I never seen many staff or people working here, luckily all the people are nice and considerate which makes the campsite pleasant.

    We stayed there with our RV—it was very clean, very well-maintained, everyone was friendly, and it was very quiet.

    Unfortunately, there are far too few restrooms, so you're constantly having to wait in line. Due to high occupancy, they aren't very clean.

    Leider viel zu wenig sanitäre Anlagen, ständig muss man anstehen. Durch hohe Auslastung dementsprechend nicht sehr sauber.

    Tip: Don't book a spot on the tent field, because there's no electricity or water there.
