    We spent three weeks here on vacation; it was a bit of a letdown. I had brought my Speed pedelec, but I couldn’t charge it at the campground because the voltage wasn’t high enough—we measured it and it was 203 volts, and we paid for 10 amps, which cost an extra €63—that was a disappointment. There are few restrooms and few showers; we had expected more.

    We zijn hier 3 weken op vakantie geweest, het viel tegen ik had mijn Speed pedelec meegenomen maar die kon ik niet opladen op het park omdat er niet genoeg volt was op het park we hebben het doorgemeten en het was 203 volt, en we hebben betaald voor 10 ampère dat was €63 extra, waar we niets aan hebben gehad ,dit is de eerste keer dat we dit op een camping hebben meegemaakt,dat was een teleurstelling, er zijn weinig toilets en ook weinig douches, we hadden er meer van verwacht voor ons geen recreatiepark Den Blanken meer!
