Summary created out of 113 reviews
The park is praised for its friendly and helpful staff, who warmly welcome guests and provide excellent care. The location near the lake is ideal for hikers and nature lovers, with plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities in a quiet, green environment. Many guests appreciate the spacious pitches, clean sanitary facilities, and the cozy family atmosphere. At the same time, there are clear areas for improvement: the swimming pool is experienced as too small and cold, the entertainment falls short with only one animator and limited activities, and the snack bar offering is limited in opening hours and payment options.

There are no activities for children, and even in the evening, the RV and tent sites are too steep; the snack bar isn't open all day and, most importantly, is closed on Saturdays.

Il n'y a aucune activité pour enfant ou même le soir les emplacements pour camping car ou toile de tente sont trop pentu le bar snack n'est pas ouvert toute la journée et surtout fermer le samedi
