Guests appreciate the spacious pitches, swimming pools, and restaurants, as well as the friendly staff.

    If you’re looking for some peace and quiet, this isn’t the right campground for you. Until 1:00 or 2:00 a.m., Dutch teenagers are partying and causing a ruckus right in front of the RVs in the overpriced front row. And at 6:30 in the morning, the groundskeepers are out with their leaf blowers and vacuums. There’s only ONE security guard for the … entire Valkanela complex. By the time he gets to Zone 1, the teens are already in Zone 3… it’s just ridiculous!!!!!
    When we brought up the issue at the front desk, all they said was, “Yeah, there’s nothing we can do about it; we’ll pass it on.” We’ve been guests at Valkanela for over 21 years, but that’s definitely over as of this year.

    Falls jemand Erholung sucht ist er hier am falschen Campingplatz. Bis 1-2:00 morgens sind die holländischen Jugendlichen am feiern und randalieren direkt vor dem Wohnwagen in der überteuerten ersten Reihe. Und morgens um 6:30 sind die Gärtner mit Gebläse und Saugern unterwegs. Es gibt einen EINZIGEN Security Herren für die ganze Valkanela Anlage. Bis er auf Zone 1 kommt, sind die Jugendlichen schon auf Zone drei…einfach nur Lächerlich!!!!!
    Bei Erwähnung der Problematik an der Rezeption, heißt es nur „Ja, da können wir nichts machen, wir geben es weiter“. Wir waren über 21 Jahre Gäste in Valkanela, das hat sich mit diesem Jahr definitiv erledigt.
