    It was advertised as dog-friendly, but it wasn’t really. It was pretty run-down and shabby. We’ve been to better Landal Parks. The pool was okay, but it desperately needs a makeover; the sauna is completely uninspiring and showing its age—they should at least sweep the outdoor area and pull the weeds. There was potential there, and the staff was very friendly, but the overall experience still leaves a lot to be desired.

    Als hundefreundlich ausgewiesen, war es aber nicht wirklich. Ziemlich verwohnt und abgerockt. Wir kennen bessere Landal Parks. Das Schwimmbad war ganz okay, benötigt aber dringend eine Auffrischung, die Sauna ist absolut lieblos gestaltet und in die Jahre gekommen, da dürfte man wenigstens mal im Außenbereich fegen und Unkraut entfernen. Potenzial war da, Personal sehr freundlich aber die Umsetzung lässt noch zu wünschen übrig.

    We stayed here at the campground with our family of four. This is the second year we’ve come here. And honestly, I thought it was better this year than the year before.
    This is truly a family-friendly spot. Every day, all day long, there are activities for kids. If you have kids between the ages of 5 and 12, they’ll be kept pretty busy if you join in on everything.
    They also have activities for older kids. And if you do happen to get bored at the campground, there’s more than enough to do in the surrounding area. The pool area is nice too—there’s an outdoor pool, an indoor pool, and a splash pool. In the splash pool, they also offer activities like VR swimming (you have to sign up and pay in advance) as well as an obstacle course. For young and old alike.
    Furthermore, in my opinion, the campsites are spacious. Of course, it depends on where you’re parked, but otherwise they’re quite deep as well.
    The brasserie opens at 12:00 p.m., and you can enjoy a lovely meal there—either inside or out on the balcony—with a view of the large lake. Service has really improved significantly compared to last year, and you can tell that from the staff. You guys did a great job!

    Wij stonden hier met ons gezin van 4 op de camping. Dit is het 2e jaar dat we hier komen. En eerlijk, dit jaar vond ik dat het beter was dat het jaar ervoor.
    Dit is echt een locatie voor gezinnen. Iedere dag, de gehele dag door zijn er dingen te doen voor kinderen. Als je kinderen hebt rond de 5 tot 12 jaar, hebben ze het nog druk ook, als je overal aan meedoet.
    Ook voor oudere kinderen hebben ze activiteiten. En als je jezelf alsnog, verveeld op het park is er in de omgeving ook meer dan genoeg te doen. Zwembad is ook netjes, buiten zwembad, binnen zwembad en slagbad. In het laatste worden er ook activiteiten aangeboden bv VR-zwemmen(wel van te voren opgeven, en betalen) maar ook een stormbaan. Voor jong en oud.
    Verder zijn de camping plaatsen naar mijn mening groot. Uiteraard ligt het eraan waar je staat, anders zijn ze nog diep ook.
    De brasserie is om 12.00u open en kun je heerlijk zitten, binnen of lekker op het balkon, met uitzicht op de grote plas. Service is echt stukken vooruit gegaan, vergeleken met vorig jaar en dat zie je ook af aan het personeel. Dat hebben jullie top gedaan!
