All in all, we really enjoyed our stay at the campground. The staff was friendly, and the snack bar was nice. It’s a paradise for kids in the summer. The other campers were very friendly—which isn’t always the case these days. Urk itself is very beautiful. The only thing that really surprised us was the electricity bill. We were told we used 20 kW … over 2 days. Aside from the usual electrical appliances like the refrigerator, coffee maker, TV, and charging our cell phones, we don’t have any other power-consuming devices. On average, we use 5–6 kW over two days. Also, the chemical toilet disposal system was clogged. It was a very unsightly sight when we went to dispose of it. Therefore, we’re deducting one star.

Alles in allem hat es uns gut gefallen auf dem Platz. Empfang freundlich und die Snackbar ist angenehm. Im Sommer für Kinder ein Paradies. Sehr freundliche Mitcamper um einen herum, was heutzutage nicht immer so ist. Urk selbst ist sehr schön. Einzig allein die Stromabrechnung hat uns sehr verwundert. Wir sollen für 2 Tage 20 KW verbraucht haben. Außer die üblichen E - Geräte wie Kühlschrank, Kaffeemaschine, TV und laden von Handys haben wir keine Verbraucher. Im Schnitt verbrauchen wir 5 - 6 KW an 2 Tagen. Auch war die Chemietoiletten Entsorgung verstopft. Ein sehr unappetitlicher Anblick beim entsorgen. Daher 1 Stern Abzug.

Large family campground with many cabins and permanent sites. Separate area for RVs. The large restroom building is okay and uses a key card; the smaller building is outdated, and the chemical toilet there is very dirty and lacks a hose. Electricity is billed separately at 0.80 euros per kilowatt, and the shower faucet needs to be reset if you use too much water.

Grote familiecamping met veel huisjes en vaste plaatsen. Apart veldje voor campers. Het grote sanitairgebouw is oké met sleutelkaart, het kleinere gebouw is gedateerd, het chemisch toilet daar erg vies en zonder slang. Stroom wordt apart berekend voor 0,80 euro per kilowatt en de douchekraan moet worden opgewaardeerd als je teveel gebruikt.
