Summary created out of 271 reviews
EuroParcs Zuiderzee boasts a beautiful location directly on the Veluwemeer, with convenient access to Elburg, Harderwijk and attractions like Walibi. The park offers spacious playgrounds, a large indoor play area and animation programmes that keep families with children entertained. However, the park faces significant challenges: the swimming pool is frequently described as ice-cold, dirty and outdated, cleaning of accommodations often falls short with dust, stains and mould, and there is considerable maintenance backlog affecting furniture, doors and technical installations. Staff reviews are mixed – some are friendly and helpful, others unfriendly or overwhelmed – and communication and customer service frequently disappoint, with guests being passed from pillar to post.

We’re at the campground during the peak summer season and have a comfort site with 2 adults and 2 small children.
We have nothing but positive things to say about the park and the campsites. A lot of renovations have been done, and the place looks well-maintained. Swimming, playing, and shopping are great and hassle-free.
I have to deduct one star for the restroom facilities, as some sinks and showers aren’t working in certain areas. However, there was still enough capacity available without any wait times. Cleanliness is acceptable and adequate. The facilities are cleaned twice a day.
If we could make a suggestion, we’d like to see a reorganization of the parking area to accommodate the large number of cars. At times, there’s already a lot of traffic on the grounds.
But we’ll definitely be back!this is a translation, click here for the original
Wir sind in der Sommer-Hauptsaison auf dem Campingplatz und haben eine Komfortstellplatz, mit 2 Erwachsenen und 2 kleinen Kindern.
Wir können über den Park, die Stellplätze nur positiv berichten. Es ist sehr viel erneuert worden und macht einen gepflegten Eindruck. Schwimmen, spielen und einkaufen ist super und unkompliziert.
Einen Stern muss ich für die Sanitär-Häuser abziehen, da hier stellenweise Waschbecken und Duschen nicht funktionieren. Es waren aber trotzdem genügend Kapazitäten vorhanden ohne Wartezeiten. Die Sauberkeit ist akzeptabel und ausreichend. Die Häuser werden 2x täglich gereinigt.
Wenn man eine Wunsch äußern darf, würden wir uns eine Umstrukturierung für die zahlreichen PKWs wünschen. Es ist zeitweise schon viel Verkehr auf dem Gelände.
Aber wir kommen definitiv wieder! -

Of course, we had also read the many negative reviews, but it’s important to note that you have to be aware you didn’t book a 5-star hotel.
Our room had been freshly cleaned upon arrival, and there was nothing to complain about.
The staff at the park and the entertainment team were also very helpful.
During our stay, the swimming pool reopened, which was a real lifesaver on a rainy day.
Overall, though, the park could be cleaner—especially the playground, which had a lot of trash, dirt, and cigarette butts. 👎this is a translation, click here for the original
Natürlich hatten wir auch die Vielzahl negativer Bewertungen gelesen,man muss allerdings dazu sagen,dass man sich bewusst sein muss kein 5 Sterne Hotel gebucht zu haben.
Unsere Unterkunft war bei Ankunft frisch gereinigt und es gab nichts zu beanstanden.
Das Personal im Park und im Animationsteam waren auch bemüht.
Während unseres Aufenthalts öffnete auch das Schwimmbad wieder,was uns an einem Regentag sehr entgegen kam.
Insgesamt könnte der Park jedoch sauberer sein,insbesondere auf dem Spielplatz viel Müll, Dreck und Kippenstummel👎 -

The one star is solely for the beautiful location of the resort, which would actually be ideal for families.
However, the vacation homes are an absolute disgrace. Our house was dirty, run-down, and in a condition unfit for rental: dust, hair, broken vents, windows that wouldn’t open, curtains falling off, and the shower held together with duct tape. Everything looked old, neglected, and as if no one cared about its condition. The common areas were also dirty and run-down.
When we arrived, the swimming pool was closed for maintenance. What was particularly frustrating: Weeks before our arrival, the resort could not be reached by phone or email.
For an expensive vacation resort, this is completely unacceptable. We will definitely not be coming back.this is a translation, click here for the original
Den einen Stern gibt es ausschließlich für die wunderschöne Lage der Anlage, die für Familien eigentlich ideal wäre.
Die Ferienhäuser sind jedoch eine absolute Zumutung. Unser Haus war dreckig, abgewohnt und in einem nicht vermietbaren Zustand: Staub, Haare, defekte Lüftungen, Fenster ließen sich nicht öffnen, Vorhänge fielen ab und die Dusche wurde mit Panzertape zusammengehalten. Alles wirkte alt, ungepflegt und als würde sich niemand um den Zustand kümmern. Auch die öffentlichen Bereiche waren schmutzig und heruntergekommen.
Bei unserer Anreise war das Schwimmbad wegen Wartungsarbeiten geschlossen. Besonders ärgerlich: Wochen vor der Anreise war der Park weder telefonisch noch per E-Mail erreichbar.
Für einen teuren Ferienpark ist das völlig inakzeptabel. Wir werden definitiv nicht wiederkommen. -

Poor service; the pool was closed; the restaurant closed at 8:00, party hall closed, bowling alley only open with reservations, and we ended up in front of a closed door—the restaurant was closed on Saturday during peak season. It’s a real shame that things aren’t running smoothly this year. We went out to eat at a restaurant outside the park, and even when the restaurant was open, we didn’t feel like to have a drink or a bite to eat there anymore. In short, our goodwill rating has gone from 100 to 0 percent. I think that after four years in a row, we’re going to book our vacation somewhere else. For two years in a row now, we’ve seen more and more issues that should be taken care of, especially during peak season.

Service slecht zwembad was dicht restaurant 0m 20:00 dicht feest zaal dicht bowling alleen open als er rezerveringen zijn en een paarkeer onverwachst voor gesloten deur gestaan restaurant op zaterdag in hoog seizoen erg jammer dat dit jaar de zaken niet op order zijn we zijn een paarkeer buiteen park wezen uit eten ook toen restaurand wel open was habben we geen zin meer om daar te borrelen of hapje te doen kortom onze gun factoer is van 100 naar 0 procent gegaan ik denk dat we na 4 jaar op rij onze vacantie ergens anders gaan boeken we zien nu al 2 jaar op rij steeds meer zaken die op orde zouden moeten zijn zekker in hoog seizoen

Outrageous.
The Beach Bar is blaring well past midnight. Not a word at the front desk about the curfew being pushed back.
The place also looks extremely run-down. The restrooms and washrooms are dirty.
A 0-star rating would be more accurate.this is a translation, click here for the original
Unverschämt.
Bis weit nach Mitternach dröhnt es von der Beach Bar. Kein Wort an der Rezeption, dass die Nachtruhe nach hinten verschoben wird
Der Platz macht zudem einen äußerst ungepflegten Eindruck. WCs und Waschräume sind dreckig.
0 Sterne würden es besser treffen. -

The location of the glamping tent by the water is very beautiful. As other reviews have noted, there is a lot of overdue maintenance and mold. And, above all, a lot of noise.

Zeer teleurstellend verblijf bij EuroParcs Zuiderzee.
Wij hadden glampingtent BN 1009 speciaal geboekt vanwege de ligging direct aan het strand op Beach Noord. Bij aankomst bleken er echter al andere gasten in onze tent te zitten. Na ongeveer 45 minuten contact met de receptie werd duidelijk dat deze gasten eigenlijk in nummer 1009 op Beach Zuid moesten verblijven. Vanuit EuroParcs is hier daarna niet meer op teruggekomen. Er werd geen uitleg gegeven en er is zelfs geen excuus aangeboden.
Op hetzelfde veld verbleef een groep van ongeveer 45 Duitse jongeren, terwijl hun begeleiders aanvankelijk op een ander veld zaten. Dit zorgde meerdere avonden voor ernstige overlast: voortdurend geschreeuw, voetballen die tegen onze tent werden geschoten en jeu-de-boulesballen die richting onze tent werden gegooid. De jongeren liepen vlak langs onze veranda en wanneer wij hen aanspraken op hun gedrag, werden wij uitgelachen. Onze kinderen konden hierdoor niet slapen.
Vooral op het gebied van veiligheid en toezicht vinden wij dat het park ernstig is tekortgeschoten. Een grote groep minderjarigen verbleef meerdere avonden zonder direct en zichtbaar toezicht tussen gezinnen met kinderen. Door het gedrag van de groep voelden wij ons niet veilig in en rondom onze eigen tent. Wij durfden onze kinderen niet zelfstandig buiten te laten spelen en moesten voortdurend alert blijven.
De eerste avonden hebben wij meerdere keren de beveiliging gebeld. De beveiliging kwam na onze meldingen wel naar het veld, maar dit had weinig effect op de overlast en het gedrag van de groep. Pas op de vierde avond ging de begeleiding ’s avonds tussen de tenten van de jongeren zitten. Vanaf dat moment werd de situatie enigszins beheersbaar.
Omdat de problemen bleven aanhouden, hebben wij uiteindelijk ook de politie gebeld. De politie kwam op de vijfde avond naar het park. Dat de situatie zo ver heeft moeten escaleren, vinden wij zeer zorgelijk.
Ook op andere plekken lijkt er nauwelijks te worden gehandhaafd. Het strand wordt aangeduid als hondenvrij en er staan overal borden, maar toch liepen er regelmatig honden los rond. Wij hebben niet gezien dat hiertegen werd opgetreden. Zeker op een strand waar veel kinderen spelen, roept dit vragen op over toezicht en handhaving.
Daarnaast was de kabelbaan kapot en hing de kabel op de grond. Er was geen duidelijke waarschuwing of afzetting, terwijl de situatie er onveilig uitzag. In plaats van het toestel te laten staan, zou het veiliger zijn om het volledig te verwijderen of goed af te zetten totdat het is gerepareerd.
Ook de algemene staat van het park viel tegen. Zoals ook in andere reviews wordt beschreven, is er sprake van achterstallig onderhoud en zijn er plekken met schimmel. Daarnaast waren zowel het binnenzwembad als de indoor speeltuin midden in het hoogseizoen gesloten.
Door de slechte organisatie bij aankomst, het gebrek aan communicatie, de aanhoudende overlast, het onvoldoende toezicht, het gebrek aan handhaving en de matige staat van de voorzieningen was dit absoluut niet het verblijf waarop wij hadden gerekend. Voor ons is EuroParcs Zuiderzee ernstig tekortgeschoten op het gebied van veiligheid, verantwoordelijkheid en gastvrijheid. Voor ons geen EuroParcs Zuiderzee meer.
