Een Camping die mooi had kunnen zijn. Echter erg veel achterstallige onderhoud. De douches en toiletten waren erg vies,bij de putjes lag van alles.. Er was net een lek geweest bij de chemische toilet stortbak, dat kan gebeuren. Maar maak de vloer dan ook schoon. Om naar de Dames toilet/douches te gaan, moesten we door de menselijke uitwerpselen lopen en de geur was niet uit te houden. We hadden gelukkig een Safaritent met toilet. Maar de bril was los. Bij de bedden lagen hopen plukken stof, dit was echt al van jaren. In de gleuven van het tafeltje lag een wattenstaafje(dit kan toch echt niet) Ik heb astma, en dit was niet gezond. Ook de kinder fietsjes waren stuk, verrot. Waar er op de camping caravans gestaan hadden, was het gras weg of geel. Repareer dit als het seizoen voorbij is, zo ook de kinder fietsjes. Er waren padjes met een soort bruggetje over een sloot. Leuk maar ook deze planken waren verrot. We hadden doorgegeven dat we in een rolstoel zitten, en of de auto bij de tent kon. Een mail terug gekregen dat dit geen probleem was. Echter bij aankomst vertelden ze dat dit niet mocht, en ze geen mail gezien hadden?? Ook was er een hoge opstap om in de tent te komen.Buiten hangen lampjes, gezellig maar ze zitten vol met water. Erg gevaarlijk. Al met al erg slecht onderhouden safaritent.
