De tent is ruim en van alle gemakken voorzien. Een fijn tweepersoonsbed en twee stapelbedden die prima sliepen. De hangmat en bbq die bij de tent horen zorgen echt voor wat extra luxe. Ook is er genoeg ruimte buiten voor de kinderen om te spelen en het uitzicht over het meer is echt geweldig! Wat ook prettig is, is dat er genoeg opbergruimte is voor alle spullen.
