    What a nice place this is. In the middle of nature, with lots of space and animals (including ponies and alpacas!) The atmosphere is very relaxed, children enjoy themselves all over the site with the animals, go-karts and play equipment. The activity board shows exactly when the activities take place and when the restaurant is open. The staff does everything possible to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I stayed there for 4 days, as a starting point for hiking in the area. First 2 days in a Swedish stuga. I personally would not book that one again, the cottage was too basic for me, including very thin mattresses. The staff did their best for me, e.g. a heater was immediately brought when it appeared not to be there. They thought of a solution regarding the beds. Then I stayed for 2 days in a farm tent. A very luxurious glamping tent, fully equipped. When the gas heater did not work there (broken starter switch), someone immediately came to fix it. All in all a highly recommended place to spend vacations!

    Wat een fijne plek is dit. Midden in de natuur, met veel ruimte en dieren (oa pony's en alpaca's!) De sfeer is heel relaxed, kinderen vermaken zich over het hele terrein met de dieren, skelters en speeltoestellen. Op het activiteitenbord staat precies aangegeven wanneer de activiteiten plaatsvinden en wanneer het restaurant geopend is. De medewerkers doen er alles aan om je verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken. Ik verbleef er 4 dagen, als uitgangspunt voor wandelen in de omgeving. Eerst 2 dagen in een Zweedse stuga. Die zou ik persoonlijk niet nog eens boeken, het huisje was voor mij te basic, onder andere erg dunne matrasjes. De medewerkers deden erg hun best voor mij, er werd bijv. direct een kacheltje gebracht toen deze er niet bleek te zijn. Er werd meegedacht aan een oplossing mbt de bedden. Daarna verbleef ik 2 dagen in een farmtent. Een zeer luxe glampingtent, van alle gemakken voorzien. Toen daar de gaskachel het niet bleek te doen (kapotte startklikker) kwam er direct iemand om deze te repareren. Al met al een aanrader om vakantie door te brengen!

    Super nice campsite for children where they can have fun among the animals and with the various go-karts and bikes provided. Martijn and Naduah (owners) are super helpful and are there for you when needed. Bread rolls in the morning is definitely a must, they still bring them warm to your place! Super nice weekend had and is definitely worth repeating.

    Super leuke camping voor kinderen waar ze zich uit kunnen leven tussen de dieren en met de diverse skelters en fietsen die ter beschikking worden gesteld. Martijn en Naduah (eigenaren) zijn super behulpzaam en staan voor je klaar als het nodig is. Broodjes in de ochtend is zeker een aanrader, die brengen ze nog warm naar je plek! Super leuk weekend gehad en is zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.
