    We stayed at this campground for 9 nights and had a nice, comfortable site. It’s a beautiful, small-scale campground, and they organized lots of fun activities for the kids. Our kids actually took part in just about everything. They’d come back to the trailer with the most beautiful crafts. The highlights were the foam party and the birds-of-prey show. The surroundings were beautiful, too. Since the weather wasn’t too hot, we did lots of fun activities, including a day of biking past the local farms, pedal boating in the clay pits, and visiting the maze in Ruurlo. The campground has a helpful and well-organized information desk with suggestions for all kinds of fun outings. We’ll definitely be back.

    Wij hebben 9 nachten op deze camping gestaan en hadden een fijne comfortplaats. Mooie en kleinschalige camping, er werden erg veel leuke activiteiten georganiseerd voor de kinderen. Onze kinderen hebben eigenlijk aan alles mee gedaan. Met de mooiste knutsels kwamen ze weer terug naar de caravan. Met als hoogtepunt de schuimparty en de roofvogelshow. Ook mooie omgeving. Doordat het niet zo warm weer was, hebben we veel leuke activiteiten gedaan waaronder dagje fietsen langs de lokale boerderijen, waterfietsen in de leemputten en naar het doolhof in Ruurlo. Bij de camping hebben ze een fijn en overzichtelijk informatiepunt met allemaal leuke uitstapjes. Wij komen zeker nog een keer terug.

    Wonderful campground!

    I went to the Italian Lakes for 3 nights with my girls from November 8th in a tent and was surprised by how spacious the sites were! Almost everything looks brand new at this campground, and after a nice chat with the staff—who were weeding on a sweltering hot day—I realized they’re still far from finished with the park’s development!

    Friendly staff, fun activities, and it’s nice that the restaurant overlooks the playground and is close to the pool. The inflatable and the slide were the favorites!

    Heerlijke camping!

    Ik ging 3 nachten met mijn meiden 8/11 in een tent naar de Italiaanse meren en was verbaasd over de ruime plekken! Vrijwel alles ziet er als nieuw op deze camping en na een leuk gesprek met het personeel die op een bloedhete dag het onkruid stond te wieden begreep ik dat ze ook nog lang niet klaar zijn met de verdere opbouw van het park!

    Vriendelijk personeel, leuke animatie en prettig dat het restaurant uitkijkt op de speeltuin en het dichtbij het zwembad is. Het luchtkussen en de glijbaan waren favoriet!

    We just spent a couple of weeks at this campground. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There’s a small shop with the essentials. The snack bar was good.
    The private bathroom facilities are on the small side. The sink inside is very small—it could have been a bit bigger.
    The shower is a bit cramped, but the water was nice and warm, and the showerhead was good.
    We missed having a place to wash dishes outside the bathroom facilities, even though there are hot and cold water connections.
    The pool at the campground was very cold. When the weather is a bit cooler, the water is too cold for the kids.
    Entertainment is only for children under 12

    We hebben net een paar weken op deze camping gestaan. Personeel was erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Klein winkeltje met belangrijkste assortiment. Snackbar was goed.
    Prive sanitair is aan de kleine kant. Wasbakje binnen is erg klein. Had wel slagje groter gemogen
    Douche is krapjes. Water wel lekker warm en douchekop
    We misten een afwasgelegenheid buiten het sanitair. Zit wel warm en koud wateraansluiting.
    Zwembad op de camping was erg koud. Met iets kouder weer is het voor de kinderen te koud water.
    Animatie alleen voor kinderen onder de 12

    A neat campground with spacious, well-maintained campsites and a very clean restroom facility. Everything looks well-maintained and new. The kids also loved the pool. Definitely worth a visit.

    Nette camping met ruime verzorgde staanplaatsen en een zeer net sanitair gebouw. Alles ziet er goed onderhouden en recent uit. De kinderen vonden ook het zwembad top. Zeker een aanrader.

    Hi, the campground is small but nice.
    The prices are great for one night. We paid 55 euros for two adults, two children, and our dog.
    The kids loved the pool with the slide. The campground is perfect for one or two nights.
    The friendliness of the staff is also worth mentioning.

    Hallo, der Platz ist zwar klein aber fein.
    Preise sind für 1 Nacht super. Wir haben für 2 Erwachsene 2 Kinder und den Hund 55 Euro gezahlt.
    Das Schwimmbad mit Rutsche hat die Kinder begeistert. Der Platz ist für ein oder 2 Nächte optimal.
    Hervorzuheben ist auch die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter.
