Camping Valkanela is beautifully situated on a bay with crystal-clear water and offers modern, well-maintained sanitary facilities that are constantly kept clean. Guests appreciate the spacious pitches, swimming pools, and restaurants, as well as the friendly staff. However, complaints are regularly made about the high prices of food, drinks, and extra services at the park, and some visitors experience noise disturbances from music and parties late into the night.

    If you love camping vacations with an all-inclusive vibe, complete with evening sing-alongs by the youth, you’ll be in good hands here. The cleanliness of the restrooms, the overall cleanliness of the grounds, and the friendliness of the staff are all worth mentioning. Food is available in the bars starting at 12 p.m., but ice cream isn’t served until 1 p.m. That could use some improvement. Mass tourism at its finest. Not for us—smaller is better. That’s why we won’t be coming back. Too many people...
    At €75 per night, it’s not a bargain either.

    Wer den Campingurlaub im Flair des All-Inclusive Stils liebt, in Zusammenhang mit abendlichen Jugendgrölchören, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Positiv zu erwähnen ist die Sauberkeit der Hygieneeinrichtungen sowie auch die Gesamtsauberkeit sowie die Freundlichkeit des Personals. Essen in den Bar's ab 12Uhr möglich, Eis dann erst ab 13Uhr. Das wäre verbesserungswürdig. Massentourismus per bravour. Für uns nix, kleiner ist für uns besser. Deshalb eine Wiederkehr ausgeschlossen. Zuviele Menschen...
    Für 75€/ÜN auch kein Schnapper.

    We initially booked a spot in the “Free Zone” (if we’d known what kind of zone that was, we never would have booked it—they’re turning a forest into a money-making scheme, and the way they run things there is absolutely unacceptable). We got lucky and were able to upgrade to the next higher category.According to the staff, there were only two spots left during the time we’d booked. But the entire time we were there, the larger spot—and others that would have been a better fit size-wise—remained vacant (it really feels like they’re making a fool of us).We absolutely do not like this campground and would never come back here. You’re practically run over here by cyclists and especially by e-scooter riders. It’s really bad, and no one shows any consideration—we’ve never experienced anything like this before.The campground is run by Danes and Dutch people (who absolutely do not observe quiet hours), and everyone behaves accordingly. Dog Beach 2 is the only positive thing, but this place is definitely not worth 900 euros for 10 days.

    Wir haben erst einen Stellplatz in der Freien Zone gebucht (hätten wir gewusst was das für eine Zone ist,hätten wir dies niemals gebucht.Da wird ein Wald zu Geld gemacht und wie da gewohnt wird geht absolut nicht)Wir hatten Glück und konnten in die nächst höher Kategorie umbuchen.Laut Aussage wären nur noch 2 Plätze frei in der von uns gebuchten Zeit.Aber in der ganzen Zeit blieb der größere Platz und auch andere die besser von der größe gepasst hätten frei (man kommt sich ziemlich veräppelt vor).Der Platz gefällt uns absolut nicht und nochmals würden wir hier nicht herkommen.Man wird hier fast umgefahren von Fahrradfahren und ganz besonders von E Scooter Fahrer.Das ist richtig schlimm und niemand nimmt rücksicht,sowas haben wir noch nie Erlebt.Der Campingplatz ist in den Händen der Dänen und Holländern (diese halten sich absolut nicht Ruhezeiten),dem entsprechend benhmen sich auch alle.Der Hundestrand 2 ist das einzig Positive aber für 10 Tage 900 Euro ist dieser Platz definitiv nicht Wert.
