    A very neat and well-maintained campground; the kids have a blast playing there. We’ve been to

    We stayed at the campground as a family with two children and a dog. We had a site with private restroom facilities (very small); the general restroom facilities on the grounds were more modern and larger. Next time, we’ll book a site without private restroom facilities.
    The entire campground is great for kids.
    The staff offers lots of … activities; there’s a great, large, centrally located playground, and the forest and fields provide wonderful opportunities for walking the dog.
    The restaurant serves delicious food.
    The swimming pool is beautifully designed. Sun loungers, benches, chairs, tables, and umbrellas are available.
    I missed having a large clock by the pool, since I never brought my phone or watch with me.
    We’d love to come back.

    Wir waren als Familie mit 2 Kindern und Hund auf dem Campingplatz. Wir hatten einen Platz mit Privatsanitär (sehr klein) die allgemeinen Sanitäranlagen auf dem Platz waren moderner und größer. Werden beim nächsten Mal ohne Privatsanitär buchen.
    Der gesamte Platz ist für Kinder super geeignet.
    Viele Angebote vom Team, toller großer zentral gelegener Spielplatz, der Wald und die Felder bieten super schöne Möglichkeiten mit dem Hund spazieren zu gehen.
    Das Restaurant macht leckeres Essen.
    Das Schwimmbad schön gemacht. Liegen, Bänke, Stühle, Tische und Schirme vorhanden
    Mir fehlte im Schwimmbad eine große Uhr, da ich mein Handy oder Uhr nie mitgenommen habe.
    Wir kommen gerne wieder.

    What a wonderful campground! We stayed at site E7 for three weeks. Our boys had such a great time swimming, playing in the gnome forest, and fishing. We actually booked our stay for next summer right after we got back!

    Wat een heerlijke camping! Wij hebben 3 weken op plek E7 gestaan. Onze jongens hebben zicht zo goed vermaakt met zwemmen, heerlijk spelen in het kabouterbos en lekker vissen. We hebben meteen eigenlijk al weer bij terugkomst geboekt voor volgend jaar zomer!
