Pitch (caravan) on the fish island. Very quiet, but also far away from the sanitary facilities. During our stay, the water in the shower felt 100 degrees hot, which was complained about at reception, but was not changed or repaired until our departure. However, this was also criticized by other guests. Otherwise, the sanitary facilities were clean. On the crossing to Fish Island, there were a lot of cut bushes and branches on the roadsides, which protruded into the path and could damage the caravan if you weren't careful.

Stellplatz (Wohnwagen) auf der Fischinsel. Sehr ruhig, aber auch weit von den sanitären Anlagen entfernt. Bei unserem Aufenthalt war das Wasser in der Dusche gefühlte 100 Grad heiß, was bei der Rezeption bemängelt, aber bis zur Abreise nicht geändert, bzw. repariert wurde. Das wurde aber auch von anderen Gästen bemängelt. Ansonsten waren die sanitären Anlagen sauber. Bei der Überfahrt auf die Fischinsel lagen auf den Wegrändern viel abgeschnittene Sträucher und Äste, die in den Weg hineinragten und den Wohnwagen beschädigen können, wenn man nicht aufpasst.

On arrival strange where to leave car.with caravan to find reception. Fortunately it was very quiet but can imagine that with crowds this is a thing. Poor sanitary facilities, no toilet paper. Shower with coins and not to mix. On the field an awful lot of goose droppings. Not bad, provided it was mentioned. Toilet building quite a bit from the field. Catering facility was only the snack bar and must say was at the price but good. No wifi, also something to report. Total score on scale of 1 10 a 4

Bij aankomst vreemd waar je auto.met caravan moet laten om de receptie te vinden. Gelukkig was het erg rustig maar kan me voorstellen dat bij drukte dit een dingetje is. Slechte sanitaire voorzieningen, geen wc papier. Douche met muntjes en niet te mengen. Op het veld ontzettend veel ganzenpoep. Niet erg, mits het vermeld werd. Toiletgebouw aardig stuk van het veld. Horeca gelegenheid was alleen de snackbar en moet zeggen was aan de prijs maar wel goed. Geen wifi, ook iets wat te melden valt. Totaal cijfer op schaal van 1 10 een 4

We rented the 10 person bungalow for a midweek. Nice clean rooms and bathrooms also fine good showers. Were a midweek in January and then all facilities are closed that was disappointing in the neighborhood is nothing. Bit pauper but they are refurbishing it now many new mobile homes. Actually find it pretty good value for money. But I will not go here again.

We hebben de 10 persoons bungalow een midweek gehuurd. Mooie nette kamers en badkamers ook prima goede douches. Waren een midweek in januari en dan zijn alle faciliteiten dicht dat viel tegen in de buurt is niets. Beetje pauper maar ze zijn het nu aan het opknappen veel nieuwe stacaravans. Vind het eigenlijk best wel prima prijs kwaliteit verhouding. Maar ik ga hier niet meer heen.
