Summary created out of 232 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.

    The cottage was fine, and the beds were comfortable. The floor could have been cleaned better. The windows were open and touching each other, and dust was coming out from underneath them everywhere. There was a vacuum cleaner, so I just did it myself. This was because we had people with asthma and a dog with a dust mite allergy. Beautiful surroundings, especially for people who enjoy hiking and water sports.

    Huisje prima, bedden goed. Schoonmaak van de vloer kon beter. De ramen open tegen elkaar en er kwam overal stof onder vandaan. Er stond een stofzuiger dus zelf maar gedaan. Ivm met personen met astma en een hond met een stofmijtallergie. Mooie omgeving zeker voor mensen die van wandelen en watersport houden.

    We stayed there for four nights with our trailer.

    Unfortunately, I have to say that I didn’t expect the site to be like that. Many of the sites are in very poor condition.

    In our row, it was still somewhat OK. At least you could park the trailer there—though it was a struggle. It wasn’t possible at all without a wedge under the … jockey wheel. Plus, there was a lot of gravel on the site.

    The large one, though, is OK. The surrounding wash houses are an absolute nightmare. The main building is relatively okay. A lot of mold and not enough maintenance, in my opinion.

    The bread roll service is satisfactory. The store mentioned on the website is a joke.
    There’s no restaurant on the grounds.

    The beach is adjacent to the campground and is within easy walking distance. There’s a small bistro there. It’s good.
    The ladies at the reception desk are friendly and helpful.

    We had our peace and quiet here, which is why we stayed. I’m very disappointed with the comfort and cleanliness.

    Oh, and I had specifically booked and paid for this campsite because of the nearby washhouse. I could have saved myself the trouble. It was closed. Totally run-down.

    We’ll see if there’s going to be a next time.

    Wir haben vier Nächte dort mit unserem Wohnwagen gestanden.

    Leider muss ich sagen, dass ich die ein Platz nicht erwartet habe. Viele Plätze sind sehr runtergekommen.

    Bei uns in der Reihe war es noch einigermaßen OK. Dort konnte man wenigstens den Wohnwagen stellen. Das aber auch mit Mühe. Ohne Keil unterm Stützrad ging das gar nicht. Zudem viel Schotter auf dem Stellplatz.

    Die Große ist aber OK. Die umliegenden Waschhäuser sind fertig Horror. Das Haupthaus ist relativ OK. Viel Schimmel und Zuwenig Pflege in meinen Augen.

    Der Brötchen service ist zufriedenstellend. Der auf der Homepage erwähnte Laden ist ein Witz.
    Kein Restaurant auf dem Gelände.

    Der Strand ist abgegeben von Campingplatz und ist schnell zu Fuß erreichbar. Dort gibt v es ein kleines Bistro. Der ist gut.
    Die Damen in der Rezi sind freundlich und hilfsbereit.

    Wir hatten hier unsere Ruhe, deshalb sind wir auch geblieben. Mit dem Komfort und Sauberkeit bin ich sehr enttäuscht.

    Achso, ich hatte den Stellplatz auf Grund des nahrliegenden Waschhaus extra gebucht und bezahlt. Das hätte ich mir sparen können. Hatte geschlossen. Total runtergekommen.

    Mal sehen ob es noch ein nächstes Mal geben wird.

    Our family rented a chalet at EuroParcs Biggesee for ten days and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Upon arrival, everything was well organized, and since we could park the car right in front of the chalet, unloading was easy.

    The chalet was clean, tidy, and well-maintained. There was a nice playground nearby for the kids—we think it was … brand new. There are also table tennis tables, and the park is within walking distance of the beautiful Biggesee.

    We had brought a SUP with us and were able to easily order a second one through Amazon and have it delivered to the front desk. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We also really appreciated the option to pick up fresh rolls at the front desk every day.

    The park’s location is wonderfully peaceful. The surrounding area is perfect for swimming, hiking, biking, and exploring the forests and mountains. My son and I took a beautiful hike through the mountains, which he absolutely loved.

    There’s plenty to see and do in the area, though you’ll need a car for most outings. We had a fantastic vacation here and can definitely recommend EuroParcs Biggesee!

    Wij hebben met ons gezin tien dagen een chalet gehuurd bij EuroParcs Biggesee en hebben hier enorm van genoten. Bij aankomst was alles goed geregeld en doordat de auto direct voor het chalet kon staan, konden we gemakkelijk uitladen.

    Het chalet was schoon, netjes en goed onderhouden. Voor de kinderen stond er vlakbij een mooi, volgens ons nieuw speeltoestel. Daarnaast zijn er tafeltennistafels en ligt het park op loopafstand van de prachtige Biggesee.

    We hadden een SUP meegenomen en konden via Amazon eenvoudig een tweede bestellen en bij de receptie laten bezorgen. Het personeel was ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ook de mogelijkheid om iedere dag verse broodjes bij de receptie te halen, vonden we erg prettig.

    De ligging van het park is heerlijk rustig. In de omgeving kun je uitstekend zwemmen, wandelen, fietsen en de bossen en bergen verkennen. Samen met mijn zoon heb ik een prachtige tocht door de bergen gemaakt, die hij helemaal geweldig vond.

    Er is in de omgeving veel te zien en te doen, al heb je voor de meeste uitstapjes wel een auto nodig. Wij hebben hier een topvakantie gehad en kunnen EuroParcs Biggesee zeker aanbevelen!
