    An old-fashioned park, but great for a stopover or if you've rented a nice camper

    All in all, a great campground. We booked it because of the pool and the water slide for our two teenagers, but the slide was closed.

    When we arrived, we found ourselves in a field where a large “Proud of the Netherlands” group was gathered. I found the flags and banners quite intimidating. So I arrived already feeling uneasy. The people themselves were nice enough, but the group was large and therefore noisy, including a big sound system playing music (not super loud, but clearly audible, which I still found disruptive).

    The restroom facilities were fine. But I won’t be coming back. The atmosphere just wasn’t my thing; I went there because I wanted a campground with a pool for the two teenagers I had with me. But next time, we’ll stick to a smaller, quieter campground.

    Op zich een prima camping. Geboekt ivm het zwembad en de glijbaan voor 2 tieners, maar de glijbaan was afgesloten.

    Bij aankomst bleken we op een veld waar een grote "trots op NL" groep zat. De vlaggen en spandoeken vond ik behoorlijk intimiderend. Dus kwam al aan met een niet prettig gevoel. Op zich verder aardige mensen, maar de groep was groot en daardoor luidruchtig, incl. Grote box met muziek (niet super hard, maar goed hoorbaar en daardoor ervaarde ik het toch als storend).

    Toiletgebouw was prima. Maar ik kom niet meer terug. Sfeer was gewoon niet mijn ding, ging heen omdat ik een camping met zwembad wilde voor de 2 tieners die ik mee had. Maar de volgende keer toch maar weer een kleinschaligere rustigere camping voor ons.

    I’ve read a lot of negative things about this vacation park, which is still undergoing some renovations and is run by a young couple. These people are doing their very best. Personally, I think they’re doing a good job. After all, they’re only human. Vacationers tend to view a campground as a home, when it’s really a place to enjoy nature and peace and quiet. (The spot where I stayed the whole time is in a quiet location.)

    I read somewhere that the showers are dirty. In any case, I’ve been wearing flip-flops in the shower for years, no matter which campground I visit. Besides, if a toilet bowl is dirty, you just give it a good scrub with a brush after doing your business, just like at home.

    Speaking for myself, I think these owners deserve a big pat on the back. If there’s a problem, there’s always a solution. But let’s also give these people the chance to solve it themselves. Renovations are still underway—we can all see that. They only have so many hands to work with. Maybe, as guests, we can do our part to help them out.

    I have deep respect for them.

    Lees veel negatieve dingen over deze recreatiepark dat nog deels in opknapwerkzaamheden zit en wordt gerund door een jong stel. Deze mensen doen hun uiterste best. Vind persoonlijk dat ze het goed doen. Het zijn immers ook maar mensen. De vakantiegangers zien een camping als een huis. Terwijl het een plek is om te genieten van de natuur en de rust. (Daar waar ik stond aldoor is het een rustig gelegen plekje.)

    Ik las ergens een stukje over dat de douches smerig zijn. Sowieso draag ik al jaren ,op welke camping ik ook kom, slippers onder douche. Daarnaast als een wc pot smerig is haal je net als thuis een borstel erdoorheen na een grote boodschap.

    Als ik persoonlijk uit me eigen mag spreken vind ik dat deze eigenaren best wel even een hele stevige schouderklop mogen hebben. Is er een probleem dan is er altijd een oplossing. Maar geef deze mensen ook dan de kans om het op te mogen lossen. Verbouwing is momenteel nog bezig dat zien we allemaal. Ze hebben maar 1 setje handen. Misschien als we als gast een steentje bij kunnen dragen voor hun.

    Ik heb diep respect voor hun.

    We stayed in a chalet where the outdoor furniture was dirty, old, and certainly not attractive. The master bedroom had a small closet, and the smaller bedroom had a large closet that couldn’t be opened because the bed was in the way. There was also no microwave. The roller blinds in the kitchen were dirty. The patio was overgrown with weeds, and the tiles were uneven and crooked.

    Wij zaten in chalet waarvan de buitenmeubelen vies en oud en zeker niet mooi waren.In grote slaapkamer stond een kleine kledingkast en in kleine slaapkamer een grote kast die niet open kon omdat het bed in de weg stond.Er was ook geen magnetron. Rolgordijnen in keuken waren vies.Terras zat vol met onkruid en de tegels waren Schots en scheef.
