Summary created out of 250 reviews

The location at the Biggesee is beautiful with walking and cycling opportunities in the immediate surroundings. Guests appreciate the peace and nature, although the campsite is clearly in transition with many cordoned-off areas and construction work. The sanitary facilities are a major point for improvement: guests complain about black mould in shower grouting, insufficient hot water during busy periods, and too little toilet capacity because one sanitary building is closed. Staff receive mixed reviews – some experience friendliness and helpfulness, others feel unwelcome or get insufficient response to complaints. There is hardly any entertainment or catering, which is disappointing for families with children.

    A lovely new cottage, a mix of practicality and luxury. The park itself is very basic, but the natural surroundings are beautiful. The surrounding villages aren’t very lively; you’d have to drive a bit further for that.
    Service is minimal. We arrived 1.5 hours before check-in, and everything went smoothly. At the front desk, we were told that … our cottage was ready, but that we weren’t allowed to use it yet—unless we paid €35 for early check-in. I find that a bit silly, especially when they mention that the cottage is already accessible.
    We were quite willing to pay €35 for early check-in, but then you’d also want to feel that they went out of their way to have the cottage ready earlier—and you’d want to be able to check in at 1:00 p.m. We understand these are the rules, but we had hoped for better service here. The receptionist’s unyielding attitude certainly didn’t help matters.

    Mooie nieuwe huisje, een mix van praktisch en luxe. Park zelf is erg minimaal, maar de omgeving is qua natuur prachtig. Omliggende dorpen zijn niet heel bruisend. Daar zou je een stukje verder voor moeten rijden.
    Service is minimaal. Wij kwamen 1,5 uur voor de check-in aan, alles zat mee. Bij de receptie hoorden we dat ons huisje klaar was, maar dat we er nog geen gebruik van mochten maken. Tenzij, we €35 betalen voor de early check-in. Dat vind ik een beetje flauw, zeker als je erbij zegt dat het huisje al toegankelijk is.
    We waren best bereid om €35 te betalen voor een early check-in, maar dan wil je ook het idee hebben dat het moeite heeft gekost om eerder je huisje klaar te hebben en dan wil je er ook om 13 uur zijn. We begrijpen dat het regels zijn, maar hadden hier op meer service gehoopt. De stugheid van de receptioniste helpt dan ook niet mee.

    It's a great campground, though you can tell they're renovating, so there's room for improvement—but they're working on it. The main building is nice, and the shower is wonderfully warm.
    The view from the campground is really beautiful.

    Here, in the middle of nowhere, the place smelled like a pigsty. We had to open the windows right away to make it somewhat bearable. My child found two small objects on the floor and almost swallowed them. Thanks!
    There’s only one key per room.

    Hier ist man am Arsch der Welt die Unterkunft hat wie ein schweinestall gerochen. Man musste erstmal die Fenster aufmachen, damit es halbwegs akzeptabel ist. Mein Kind hat zwei kleine Gegenstände auf dem Boden gefunden. Die ist fast verschluckt hat. Danke !
    Für die Unterkunft gibt es jeweils nur ein Schlüssel.
