    It is a beautiful campsite. The lodges are very nice and big. Everything is clean. For young children is perfect to play. You can have a drink and diner next to playground. Even during hot days it is very cool at the brook with cold mountain water and under the many trees. Swimming pool is perfect and clean. In the surrounding area there are nice towns to visit. Nature is beautiful

    Wij hebben 2,5 week genoten van ons verblijf bij Christophe en Christelle. We hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad op deze kleinschalige, sfeervolle camping, die ideaal is voor gezinnen met jonge kinderen.

    Wij stonden op een ruime plek aan het beekje. Tijdens de warme dagen (35–40 graden) zorgde dat voor heerlijke verkoeling. Daarnaast is er op de camping veel schaduw en zijn de plaatsen ruim opgezet en goed onderhouden, wat het verblijf extra comfortabel maakt.

    Wij kunnen deze camping van harte aanbevelen aan gezinnen met jonge kinderen die op zoek zijn naar rust, ruimte en een ontspannen vakantie.
