    Camped for the first time with our children aged three and two in the family tent. They loved it! Playground nearby and we only had to bring our clothes, the rest is there. And it all looks nice. Callijn was very attentive and is there for any questions. We had a great time. ❤️ Ameland

    Voor de eerste keer met onze kinderen van drie en twee jaar gekampeerd in de family tent. Ze vonden het geweldig! Speeltuin vlakbij en we hoefden alleen onze kleding mee te nemen, de rest is er. En het ziet er allemaal leuk uit. Callijn was erg attent en is er voor alle vragen. Wij hebben het ontzettend leuk gehad. ❤️ Ameland

    Great, personalized service. Despite a booking that didn't go through properly they came up with a solution that was even better than the booking itself.

    Goede, persoonlijke service. Ondanks een boeking die niet goed was doorgekomen zijn ze met een oplossing gekomen die nog beter was dan de boeking zelf.
