The park has a beautiful location on the IJssel river with spacious camping pitches, especially on the fishing island. Guests appreciate the location, the children's animation programme, and the friendly bar with bowling facilities. However, the park suffers from serious maintenance issues: the sanitary facilities are outdated and often unhygienic, the swimming pool is cold and dirty, and neglected maintenance is visible everywhere. The access roads are full of bumps and potholes, there is noise disturbance until late at night, and many facilities such as the restaurant are closed or dilapidated.

We stayed at the Scherpenhof for four days with two tents. The staff was friendly, and dogs are generally welcome—which was a plus for us since we have Lou.
Unfortunately, the campground still fell well short of our expectations. On the website, everything looks much more modern and well-maintained than it actually is. Many areas, such as … the restrooms, shops, and play areas, are visibly showing their age, and some are even broken. In addition, we had practically no Wi-Fi reception at our campsite.
The restrooms are outdated: showers require coins, are limited to five minutes, and don’t allow you to adjust the temperature. It was also quite a long walk from our campsite (116) to get there.
The swimming lake didn’t impress us either. The entry point is very muddy, only somewhat suitable for swimming, and people are fishing in the same body of water at the same time. As for fishing itself, the large piles of rocks along the shore make many spots even more difficult to access.
Although dogs are allowed, there’s hardly any decent access to the water for them. They’re not allowed in the swimming lake, and the remaining areas along the shore are barely accessible due to the piles of rocks.
Overall, the site seemed older and more neglected than we expected. For families with children planning a short stay and wanting to take advantage of the diverse recreational offerings, the campground is certainly a good choice. However, given our expectations for a relaxing fishing and camping vacation, we wouldn’t book it again.this is a translation, click here for the original
Wir waren für vier Tage mit zwei Zelten auf dem Scherpenhof. Das Personal war freundlich und Hunde sind grundsätzlich willkommen – das war für uns mit Lou ein Pluspunkt.
Leider hat der Campingplatz unsere Erwartungen trotzdem deutlich verfehlt. Auf der Website wirkt alles wesentlich moderner und gepflegter, als es tatsächlich ist. Viele Bereiche, wie die Sanitäranlagen, Geschäfte und Spielbereiche, sind sichtbar in die Jahre gekommen, teilweise sogar defekt. Zudem hatten wir auf unserem Stellplatz praktisch keinen WLAN-Empfang.
Die Sanitäranlagen sind veraltet: Duschen nur mit Münze, fünf Minuten Duschzeit und keine Möglichkeit, die Temperatur einzustellen. Von unserem Stellplatz (116) war der Weg dorthin außerdem recht weit.
Auch der Badesee hat uns nicht überzeugt. Der Einstieg ist sehr matschig, zum Schwimmen nur bedingt geeignet und im selben Gewässer wird gleichzeitig geangelt. Zum Angeln selbst erschweren die großen Steinpackungen am Ufer viele Stellen zusätzlich.
Obwohl Hunde erlaubt sind, gibt es kaum einen vernünftigen Wasserzugang für sie. In den Badesee dürfen sie nicht und die übrigen Uferbereiche sind durch die Steinpackungen kaum erreichbar.
Insgesamt wirkte der Platz auf uns älter und ungepflegter als erwartet. Für Familien mit Kindern, die einen kurzen Aufenthalt planen und das vielfältige Freizeitangebot nutzen möchten, ist der Campingplatz bestimmt eine gute Wahl. Für unseren Anspruch an einen entspannten Angel- und Campingurlaub würden wir ihn allerdings nicht noch einmal buchen. -

What a dump of a campground. Not at all recommended for children aged 10 and older.
Worst “recreational” campground I’ve ever been to. The buildings are dirty, the restrooms are filthy. Half of the few arcade machines they have don’t work. The only redeeming feature was the view of the IJssel—other than that, DO NOT GO THERE!this is a translation, click here for the original
Wat een krot van een camping. Met kinderen vanaf 10 jaar totaal niet aan te raden.
Slechste "recreatie" camping waar ik ooit ben geweest. Docuhe gebouwen vies wc vies. De paar game toestellen die ze hebben de helft doet het niet. Engste plus punt was het uitzicht over de ijsell verder NIET HEEN GAAN! -

Booked a 6-person bungalow. Kitchen supplies were poor—no knives, no coffee spoons, just 5 spoons and 5 forks.
Bathroom light broken, toilet seat loose, poorly cleaned; dirty dishes in the dishwasher and the toilet trash can not emptied.
Very dirty mattress pad on one of the beds.
Ant infestation.
And the front desk can only be reached in emergencies.
We strongly advise against staying here!this is a translation, click here for the original
6 Persoos bungalow geboekt. Keukeninventaris slecht, geen messen, geen koffielepels 5 lepels en 5 vorken.
Badkamer licht kapot, wc bril los, slecht schoongemaakt; vuile vaat in vaatwasser en wc prullenbak niet geleegd.
Hele vieze molton op 1 van de bedden.
Mierenplaag.
En receptie alleen te bereiken voor noodgevallen.
Wij raden dit zwaar af! -

Our little adventure trip to Camping de Scherpenhof. Parked in P1 on arrival. Unfortunately, due to the space problem, a U-turn was necessary to get back to the entrance. Driving skills of the trailer driver required. The campsite facilities are old and unkempt. The infrastructure is almost non-existent. The sanitary facilities are unfortunately … just as old and unkempt as the rest of the campsite. The pool was not maintained and unusable. There was also no one using it. We will not be back. Even if the pitch on the Ijsel was at least scenically beautiful.

Unsere kleine Erlebnisreise zum Campingplatz de Scherpenhof. Bei der Ankunft auf P1 geparkt. Dort leider aber aufgrund des Platzproblem denn ein U-Turn notwendig um wieder Richtung Einfahrt zu kommen. Fahrkünste des Gespannfahrers vorausgesetzt. Die Einrichtungen des Campingplatz sind alt und ungepflegt. Die Infrastruktur so gut wie nicht gegeben. Die sanitären Anlagen sind leider genauso alt und ungepflegt wie der Rest des Platzes. Der Pool war nicht gepflegt und unbrauchbar. Es war auch niemand, der es genutzt hat. Wir werden nicht wiederkommen. Auch wenn der Stellplatz an der Ijsel zumindest Landschaftlich schön war.

Never experienced such a terrible campsite before. So bad that we decided not to pitch our tent here and to leave. The pictures lead you to believe that you will find a beautiful campsite with nice (it literally says "spacious sites") pitches. The images from the site absolutely do not match reality. It is a heavily dilapidated park, nothing is … well maintained. To get to the reception you first have to pass through a waft of smoke from staff puffing right outside the door. Then you end up in a camping field where you are placed hut to hut. You literally stand against the caravan or tent of the neighbors. The park mainly attracts people who play folk music all day, race around on electric scooters or fatbikes, drink beer and roast meat on the bbq. Not my idea of a relaxing vacation. The moment my partner went to complain to the reception desk, there were 2 other families standing there who were so shocked that they did not want to camp here and wanted to leave. The receptionist would discuss whether a refund could be given. Coincidentally, we got an ice cream and sat on the "terrace" (a few tables and chairs in an alley where you sit facing a wall, so don't imagine anything cozy). Behind the wall the consultation took place and we could hear the owner/manager saying that it was nonsensical that we complained and wanted money back. Then we should have just come beforehand. In other words, I admit that the picture with the website is not correct, but people should just come and see in advance to find that out. Despite not getting a refund (not even a portion) we turned right around.

Nog niet eerder zo’n verschrikkelijke camping meegemaakt. Dusdanig slecht dat we besloten hebben onze tent hier niet neer te zetten en weer te vertrekken. De foto’s laten je geloven dat je op een prachtige camping terecht komt met mooie (er staat letterlijk ‘ruime plekken’) kampeerplekken. De beelden van de site komen absoluut niet overeen met de werkelijkheid. Het is een zwaar vervallen park, niets is goed onderhouden. Om bij de receptie binnen te komen moet je eerst door een walm van rook van personeel dat pal voor de deur staat te paffen. Vervolgens kom je op een kampeerveld terecht waar je hutje mutje op elkaar wordt geplaatst. Je staat letterlijk tegen de caravan of tent van de buren aan. Het park trekt met name mensen aan die de hele dag volksmuziek draaien, op elektrische steps of fatbikes rondracen, bier drinken en vlees braden op de bbq. Niet mijn idee van een relaxte vakantie. Op het moment dat mijn partner zijn beklag ging doen bij de receptie, stonden er nog 2 andere gezinnen die dusdanig geschokt waren dat zij hier niet wilde kamperen en wilde vertrekken. De receptioniste zou overleggen of er geld terug gegeven kon worden. Toevallig haalde wij even een ijsje en zaten wij op het ‘terras’ (een paar tafels en stoelen in een steegje waar je tegen een muur aan zit te kijken, dus stel je er vooral niks gezelligs bij voor). Achter de muur vond het overleg plaats en konden wij de eigenaar/manager horen zeggen dat het onzinnig is dat wij ons beklag deden en geld terug wilden. Dan hadden we maar vooraf moeten komen kijken. Met andere woorden: ik geef toe dat het beeld met de website niet klopt, maar mensen moeten maar vooraf komen kijken om dat te constateren. Ondanks dat we geen geld terug (ook niet een deel) hebben gekregen hebben we rechtsomkeert gemaakt.
