Marina Strandbad

Simply brilliant

The location is great. The park looks well-maintained. But the “Cosy 6” for 6 people was indeed very “cozy”—it’s a tight squeeze with 6 people, and the walls are very thin. There are also some unusual places with electrical outlets (on the ceiling). We had the misfortune of having drunk, noisy neighbors, but there’s not much the campground can do about that. By the way, there are all kinds of cottages, some of which are privately owned.

Definitely do not book here if you want to camp in a tent. The campsites that EuroParcs shows on its website are no longer in use. Instead, you’ll be placed on a gravel lot littered with large, loose rocks, debris, and sharp shells. My new tent was damaged as a result. EuroParcs refuses to compensate me for the damage; this matter is now being … handled by my travel insurance.
The spots that are still on grass are also all uneven and on a slope.
The park’s layout is illogical and extremely dangerous. Unlike other parks, this site is not fenced off.
The campground borders directly on a public dike where cyclists and e-bikers race by at high speeds.
To even get to the restroom and shower building—assuming you haven’t already tripped over the loose stones on the way there—you have to cross this dike, constantly risking being hit by a bike. Not suitable for small children or older people who might trip over the stones.
The restroom facilities themselves are a disaster: Completely open to the public: Since the park is open, anyone cycling or walking along the dike can simply walk right into the restroom building and use it. There is absolutely no privacy or sense of safety.
Far too little capacity: For the entire campground, there are only 3 toilets, 1 urinal, and 2 showers for women and 2 for men. This leads to long lines, and limiting use to 5 minutes—followed by another 5-minute wait for the next person to shower—is completely inadequate.
Furthermore, the service at this campground is severely lacking: No facilities & supervision: There are no activities for children, and there is zero supervision at the pool.
Restaurant: Due to a major staff shortage, it’s almost impossible to get service, or people are simply forgotten.
Remote location: To find a restaurant or store, you have to travel to surrounding towns or villages, which are quite a distance away.

The park could have also provided information in advance that the ferry isn’t running and the water level is low, so there are no boats for rent.

Highly not recommended. Don’t let your vacation and your camping trip here be ruined.

To end on a positive note, it is a beautiful area; if the water level were high, you could get to Dieren faster by ferry.
The food at the restaurant is actually quite good.
And the staff is generally really friendly and helpful. Read more Show less

A beautiful, well-maintained resort. We stayed in a house that slept 10 people. It was clean and had everything we needed. I’m deducting one star because there were no mosquito screens—at least in the bedrooms! This meant we couldn’t easily sleep with the windows open at night. And that at 38 degrees!
Bicycles, boats, and paddleboats are … available for rent. Unfortunately, the marina was closed due to low water levels. The swimming beach was also only partially usable due to the lack of water. The small pool is well-suited for children up to 12 years old. However, there are no slides or similar attractions at the pool. The adjacent playground is okay, but there’s room for improvement.
The staff is friendly and helpful. The small restaurant is perfectly adequate.
Conclusion: It’s recommended for those seeking peace and quiet as well as active families. (We spent 14 days cycling every day.)
The park can’t be held responsible for the low water level in the river. Read more Show less

One of the worst places I've ever visited. They're very "dog-unfriendly" here—there are "No Dogs Allowed" signs everywhere you look. Where are you supposed to walk your dog? And the security staff keeps a very close eye on everything. We left two days earlier than we’d booked… this was our first and last time here.
