    Lovely place! Nice owner! We had the Romeo & Juliet spot. This generally offered good privacy, but this was sometimes taken away because we were right next to a busy boat ramp and picnic table.

    Heerlijk plekje! Leuke eigenares! Wij hadden het Romeo & Julia plekje. Dit bood over het algemeen goede privacy, maar dit werd soms weggenomen doordat we direct naast een druk bezochte boot helling en picknicktafel lagen.

    very bad experience. way too expensive for what you get. also pay extra for hot water plumbing outdated.poorly maintained campsite. 45 euro plus 1eur for shower not worth repeating. we are now on the cote de azuur for 40euro per day, great campsite right by the sea plus great restaurant.

    I have been coming here since childhood and almost 25 years later it still feels like coming home. This campsite has something special: a nice, relaxed atmosphere and a beautiful location where you can completely relax. Whether you are with children, love water sports or like to discover the Frisian villages and towns nearby , there is something for everyone. For me it remains a place where I return again and again with pleasure!

    Ik kom hier al sinds mijn kindertijd en bijna 25 jaar later voelt het nog steeds als thuiskomen. Deze camping heeft iets bijzonders: een fijne, ontspannen sfeer en een prachtige ligging waar je helemaal tot rust komt. Of je nu met kinderen bent, houdt van watersport of graag de Friese dorpjes en stadjes in de buurt ontdekt , er is voor iedereen wat te doen. Voor mij blijft het een plek waar ik telkens weer met plezier terugkeer!
