de Paalberg

A beautiful location with good facilities. The main reason for the lower rating is that we often found it very noisy late into the evening and night. With small children, that’s a major drawback.

A really fun campground with a large, clear outdoor pool and a nice indoor pool. There’s plenty to do with the enthusiastic entertainment team. I took part in the ghost tour myself, and it was a blast! There are also fun activities like bingo for all ages.

A few minor downsides: unfortunately, you can’t pay with cash at the snack bar, so you can’t give your child some money to get an ice cream on their own. Also, the meatballs were sold out for quite a while. Too bad, because otherwise it’s a really fun campground!

A good campground for families with young children. There’s not much for older children (ages 12 and up) to do, and absolutely nothing for teenagers.
The showers are clean, the pool is great, and there’s an entertainment team for young children.
Beautiful surroundings. Forests and heathland. The town center is nearby with plenty of shops. The campground is expanding in terms of sites, but there aren’t enough parking spaces. Not a 5-star campground for teenagers. Otherwise, it’s great!

We’ve been coming to Camping De Paalberg for years, but unfortunately we’ve noticed that the campground has been going downhill in recent years.
We’re staying on the W field, and there’s no restroom building nearby. During the day, it’s manageable, but at night you have to take a long walk along an unlit path. That doesn’t feel safe and, in our opinion, isn’t ideal.
In addition, according to the campground rules, it must be completely silent from 11:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. We find that very excessive. People complain even if you’re just talking quietly with each other in the evening, while screaming children at 7:00 a.m. apparently aren’t a problem. That feels pretty unfair.
Furthermore, it seems like a problem is being made out of everything. We understand that the campground doesn’t want to be a campground specifically for young people, but the young people who are there are constantly being reprimanded. They aren’t allowed to sit anywhere or get together, and there’s virtually nothing for them to do. Most regular guests with teenagers will keep coming anyway, so it would be better to come up with a solution where everyone feels welcome, rather than strictly enforcing rules everywhere.
I also had an unpleasant experience with a cleaner. I was walking to the restroom when I was suddenly grabbed roughly by the arm. Then, someone shouted something angrily at me in a language I didn’t understand. I found that very unprofessional and intimidating. You don’t expect to be treated that way when you’re simply trying to use the restroom.
All in all, we’re disappointed to see that Camping De Paalberg has become less and less pleasant over the years. We hope the campground addresses these issues, because as things stand, we won’t be returning anytime soon.
