Summary created out of 221 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.

    Beautifully located (about 5 minutes from the lake), clean restrooms, a bread roll delivery service, and a small kiosk on site. It's also quiet at night.

    I’m rating this as the campsite where we set up our tent.
    Although the location was very central—so we could get to the lake quickly—the campsites themselves looked half like a construction site. It was as if they were still being built or the uneven ground was being leveled.
    The only restroom facilities are located at the entrance, and they’re well-equipped. In our hallway, there was a temporary container-style restroom. It was sufficient for a normal bathroom visit, but also very cramped.

    For children, there was a trampoline and some nice play areas.

    Once we had gotten used to the site and the long walk to the restrooms, everything was bearable and sufficient for five days.

    Zimmer bewerte ich hier als unseren Stellplatz für unser Zelt.
    Zwar war die Lage sehr zentral, so dass wir schnell am See gewesen sind, aber die Stellplätze an sich sahen halb aus wie auf einer Baustelle. Als würde noch daran gebaut werden bzw. Unebenheiten ausgeglichen werden.
    Die einzigen Sanitärenanlagen befinden sich am Eingang, welche gut ausgestattet sind. In unserem Gang befand sich eine temporäre Toilette in Containerform. Ausreichend für einen normalen Toilettengang, aber auch sehr beengt.

    Für Kinder gab es ein Trampolin und nette Spielmöglichkeiten.

    Nachdem wir uns an den Platz und weiten Weg zu den Sanitärenanlagen gewöhnt hatten, war auch alles aushaltbar und für fünf Tage ausreichend.

    Luxurious, well-maintained cottages. Everything seems to be fairly new. Great! Comfortable beds (it’s a good idea to bring your own pillow). Equipped with two air conditioners and a heat pump. A very pleasant stay during the hot days. The campground is very quiet; no noise is allowed between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. But even outside these hours, it’s practically silent. We were out every day until around 7:30 p.m. Perhaps the only downside is that there’s no restaurant or small shop where you can buy things like sandwiches or drinks.

    Luxe, nette huisjes. Alles lijkt vrij nieuw te zijn. Top Goede bedden (eigen kussen meenemen is wel handig). Voorzien van 2 aircos en een warmtepomp. Zeer aangenaam verblijf tijdens de warme dagen. Camping wel erg stil, tussen 22 en 07 mag er geen lawaai worden gemaakt. Maar buiten deze tijden om ook vrijwel stil. Nu zijn wij elke dag wel tot +-19:30 weggeweest Wellicht is t enige minpunt dat je er geen restaurant en/of winkeltje is waar je bijv broodjes/drinken kunt kopen.
