    A beautiful campground where they’re busy modernizing and renovating to make it even nicer; the private restrooms are top-notch. We stayed here in our RV and had no complaints, though we did find the pool a bit small for the size of the campground…And it wasn’t exactly warm, haha… Other than that, this campground comes highly recommended, and there’s plenty to do nearby—even within biking distance.

    Mooie camping waar ze druk zijn met het moderniseren en verbouwen van de camping om er nog iets mooiers van te maken, het privé sanitair is top, wij hebben hier met de camper gestaan en hadden geen klachten, wel vonden wij het zwembad aan de kleine kant voor de groote van de camping..en erg warm was het niet haha.. verder is deze camping een aanrader en is in de buurt vanalles te doen, ook op fiets afstand.

    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, dat was een teleurstelling, er zijn weinig toilets en ook weinig douches, we hadden er meer van verwacht.
