Summary created out of 231 reviews

MarinaPark Beach Resort Soal is located directly on the IJsselmeer with a beautiful beach and good facilities including a supermarket and restaurant. The location is widely praised by guests, as well as the friendly staff and clean sanitary facilities. Unfortunately, stays are currently overshadowed by large-scale construction work for new villas and bungalows, causing significant noise disruption from 7am onwards. Guests feel misled as construction work was not always clearly communicated in advance, and the park appears to be increasingly focusing on luxury accommodation at the expense of camping pitches.

    A beautiful area on the IJsselmeer. The campground is becoming more and more modern. A dog-friendly campground.

    We were there in the fall with our RV.
    The campsite does have a nice view of the harbor, but it feels like you’re standing in a field. You end up standing in mud because the sites aren’t paved. In dark weather, you’d hope for decent path lighting, but most of the lights are broken or nonexistent. The washrooms and restroom facilities are … outdated, and for the prices charged, you’d expect more. Instead of building new structures, they should renovate the existing ones first. The dishwashing stations are either nonexistent or very difficult to use. The bathrooms are freezing cold and, due to the drainage system, completely unacceptable. The restaurant is really nice, the food is delicious, and the value for money was okay. The beach area is a real treat for water sports enthusiasts. All in all, it might be nicer in the summer, but we’re leaving early after just two days—instead of staying for a week—and heading to another campground. We wish you the best of luck with the renovations and would appreciate some consideration on our part.

    Wir waren im Herbst mit dem Wohnmobil da.
    Stellplatz hat zwar eine schöne Aussicht auf den Hafen jedoch steht man gefühlt auf einem Ackerfeld . Man steht im Matsch da die Plätze nicht gepflastert sind . Bei der dunklen Witterung würde man sich eine vernünftige Wegebeleuschtung wünschen jedoch sind die meisten Lampen defekt bzw. keine vorhanden. Die Waschhäuser so wie die Toilettenanlagen sind nicht zeitgemäß und für die Preise würde man mehr erwarten . An Stelle neue Häuser zu bauen sollte man erstmal sanieren. Abspülanlagen sind entweder gar nicht oder nur schwer zu bedienen. Die Nasszellen sind eiskalt und durch das Gartensystem unzumutbar. Das Restaurant ist super schön, sehr lecker Preisleistung war ok . Der Strand Bereich ist für Wassersportler eingefundenes Fressen . Alles im Allem vllt im Sommer netter jedoch reisen wir nach zwei Tagen frühzeitig statt nach einer Woche schon ab und fahren auf einen anderen Campingplatz. Wir wünschen jetzt viel Spaß beim sanieren und würden uns freuen über ein entgegenkommen.

    It's a shame that the charm this place once had has been replaced by the test-tube production line.

    Schade, dass der Charme, der hier früher einmal war, durch die Retortenanlage verdrängt wurde.
