    The campground is dreary; unfortunately, there’s only one portable toilet as a restroom facility (like at a fair), which you have to share with men and women. There are no partitions—when you come out of the restroom, you might end up watching a man pee, and it stinks terribly.
    Right next to the campground is also the compost pile and scrap yard, where people are dumping stuff all day long

    On the plus side, dogs are allowed everywhere, including the beach, and you can rent bikes with dog trailers

    Der Campingplatz ist trostlos, leider gibt es nur einen Container als Sanitärbereich (wie auf der Kirmes), den man sich mit M/W teilen nuss. Es ist nichts abgetrennt, kommt man aus der Toilette kann es sein, dass man dem Mann beim pinkeln zusehen darf und es stinkt erbärmlich.
    Direkt am Campingplatz ist auch der Kompost und Schrotthsufen, wo den ganzen Tag abgeladen wird

    Positiv ist, dass der Hund überall mit hin darf, auch an den Strand und man kann sich Fahrräder mit Hundeanhänger leihen

    Very clean and beautiful park. The swimming pool is very clean. All the shopping is 9 min by car in Nunspeet. Many activities for kids during the summer holiday season incl. kids club. Small shop with very basic things (but with fresh pastry). Great spacious beach with lots of things to do for the kids (for adults there are hanging mats 😄). Long scenic coast line where one can always find a favourite spot. And gorgeous sunsets! Seriously, the sunsets here are amazing.

    The site is okay, but unfortunately the hedges are still a bit small. Also, there isn't a proper washhouse—just a container setup. It's really a shame, because otherwise it's very nice here.

    Standplatz ist okay, aber leider sind die Hecken noch ein bisschen klein. Ausserdem gibt es kein ordentliches Waschhaus, sondern nur eine Containerlösung. Wirklich schade, ansonsten ist es hier sehr schön.

    Perfekt for familen ! En nydelig liten perle av ett feriested som har alt .
    Kort avstand til Efteling,Amsterdam og Rotterdam .
    Innendørs basseng og strand inne på område .
    Aktiviteter for barn og beach bar for voksne .

    Stort minus for manglene air condition i veldig mange hus . Vi sov så dårlig grunnet varmen . Håper dette prioriteres . Håpløst i 35-40 grader .
