    Vol gas naar huis ! Wat een ellende ! Noem het maar Prinsenbeek van de veluwe . Ik ben misleid door de website waar de foto’s nog op staan uit de ouwe glorie tijd. Wij waren met de boot waar de steiger erg slecht was en voorzieningen verouderd. Lekkende kranen en erg veel achterstallig onderhoud. Hoog tuinkabouter gehalte op de vaste staanplaatsen.

    Wir sind über Christi Himmelfahrt für 4 Tage da gewesen. Unser Stellplatz war auf der Fischinsel. Tolle Stellplätze !!! Sehr ruhig und umgeben von Wasser. Wir konnten uns sehr gut entspannen. Für Angelliebhaber und Naturfreunde sehr zu empfehlen. Auch das Personal ist hilfsbereit & sehr freundlich. Das Sanitärgebäude ist zwar nicht das neuste, aber es wurde während unseres Aufenthalts 5x am Tag gereinigt. Die Duschen funktionierten so lala. Zu Stoßzeiten kam wenig Wasser und es war auch eher lauwarm. Aber immer sauber ! Es kam leider auch 2x zu einem Stromausfall, aber das war dem Wetter geschuldet, da viele ihre Heizgeräte abends angemacht haben. Für Kinder & Jugendliche wird viel geboten. Sehr zu empfehlen ist die Bowlingbahn sowie die Billardtische und der Imbiss. Wir haben leider schlechtes Wetter gehabt, haben uns aber sehr gut erholt und werden auf älle Fälle nochmal wieder kommen. Wer also nicht sehr anspruchsvoll ist und die Natur liebt, sollte diesen Campingplatz auf jeden Fall mal testen ! Die Landschaft ist einfach wunderschön !

    Tokkie to the max - blijf hier weg Wat een treurigheid: vervallen camping waar anarchie de boventoon voert. Hutje mutje op een rijtje, aan alle kanten ingeklemd door buren naast en achter je. Fantasieloos kampeerveld. Heel veel vaste gasten die zich eigenaar van de camping voelen. Lawaaiige Duitsers en Nederlands die tot diep in de nacht doorgaan. Eindeloos roken en drinken. Nul handhaving. Verouderd sanitair, geen wc-papier, enorme treurigheid. Terwijl de omgeving prachtig is. Tip: blijf hier weg.

    Mooie kampeerplaats aan het water! Ver lopen naar sanitair (echt ver) en slechte wegen. Lauwe douche in sanitair gebouw Koud zwembad en koude douches Alle faciliteiten zeer gedateerd. Horeca is alleen een snackbar en een bruine kroeg. Verwachting was veel hoger gezien het er op de website heel mooi uitziet.
