Actually, the campground has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, it looks incredibly neglected. Both the campground itself and the restroom facilities are unkempt in many places. Given the size of the campground, there are two restroom buildings, but one appears to have been closed for a long time (small trees are already growing in front of the door), and the other was once nicely built, but it’s far from clean and well-maintained. The opening hours at the reception/store aren’t standard (by 8:30 a.m., most campers are up and would already like to have breakfast). As I said, it’s actually a campground with a lot of potential, precisely because it’s close to the swimming beach at Lake Bigge.

This Europarcs site definitely lacks a restaurant and maybe a bar. Unfortunately, there’s practically nothing to do in the park itself except play table tennis. It’s actually a real shame, because this is a wonderful little spot in nature. The chalet is equipped with everything you need.

I was really hesitant to book because of some of the reviews, but what a beautifully renovated campground! The restroom building is brand-new and fully equipped! There are cooking facilities, a laundromat, and—in addition to the regular restrooms—a separate shower area just for kids. We stayed in an 8-person cabin, which was very spacious and clean. It’s quiet there, and you’re just a short walk from the lake, where there’s a nice snack stand selling ice cream. If you’re looking for entertainment, you won’t find any here. Personally, I don’t mind that at all, since you can go for beautiful walks and bike rides in nature. You can rent SUPs and swim in the lake. There’s a playground with a bouncy castle and ping-pong. So there’s plenty to do and enjoy.

A small, nice campground.
We had a beautiful view.
The restrooms were clean, unless other campers aren’t very careful and leave trash behind. (Apparently, not everyone has been raised properly.)
You can enjoy a good meal at the little stand in the campground parking lot.
You can also enjoy a good meal at the stand right by the lake.
The staff at the front desk were friendly. They were also very helpful when we arrived at the campground a bit later than planned and had to call them briefly to let them know.
There are also some beautiful spots to visit around the lake.
The lake isn’t too far of a walk from the campground.
We’ll definitely be going back again.

What a beautiful, natural setting!

It’s especially nice that the accommodations have air conditioning, which keeps things comfortably cool on hot days.

It’s a shame that there are no entertainment options for children and no restaurant in the vacation park.

One minor drawback is the somewhat unusual parking layout. While you park right next to a vacation home, it’s often next to a neighbor’s house rather than directly next to your own.

A mop and fly screens on the windows would be a useful addition.
