    It's gotten really crowded with all those little cottages. The water is warm, but the bottom is full of mud (maybe it's time to dredge it?). The restaurants and bars are fine.

    Is erg massaal geworden met al die huisjes. Zwemwater is warm met een bodem vol blubber ( misschien eens uitbaggeren?). Horeca in orde

    We spent 4 days in a Tiny House and were able to explore the area thoroughly by bike and on foot. Basically, we had everything we needed in the Tiny House. The only thing missing was the pull cord for the skylight (it looked like it had broken off?), which made it really hot inside during the day when the sun shone through the large windows. Also, the shower was clogged: after reporting it to the front desk, the issue was resolved fairly quickly. I do think the cottages could be cleaned more thoroughly, but I suppose that’s true of all vacation parks these days.

    4 dagen in een Tiny House doorgebracht, en de omgeving goed kunnen verkennen op de fiets en te voet. In principe kwamen we niks tekort in de Tiny House. Alleen ontbrak de slinger voor het dakraam (leek afgebroken?) waardoor het super warm werd binnen overdag met de zon op de grote ramen. Verder was de douche verstopt: na het maken van een melding bij de receptie werd dit vrij snel opgelost. Ik vind wel dat er beter schoongemaakt moet worden in de huisjes, maar dat geld denk ik voor alle vakantieparken tegenwoordig.

    Not the best experience. Camping parcel was tiny and uneven. Good indoor pool. Awful smelly lake. Would not go to swim. Staff was nice and welcoming. Only stayed as visiting Hoge Veluwe and it was so close to it.

    The cleaning of the cottages leaves something to be desired. The surroundings and the park itself are beautiful. There’s plenty for the kids to do, so the parents have a good time, too.

    Schoonmaak van de huisjes houdt te wensen over. Omgeving en park zelf prachtig. Genoeg te doen voor de kids dus de ouders hebben ook een goeie tijd.
