Summary created out of 136 reviews

This campsite is highly valued for its friendly and helpful staff who are visible everywhere and dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to the guests. The sanitary facilities are immaculately clean and maintained several times a day, which guests greatly appreciate. The pitches are spacious in a park-like setting with lots of greenery, and families enjoy the fun children's entertainment, swimming pool and many playgrounds scattered around the site. Some guests do mention points for improvement such as the limited opening hours of the restaurant, complaints about the electricity connection and hot water system, and occasional comments about noise from the nearby road.

    Absolutely, absolutely wonderful! A little paradise for kids. Very friendly staff, very well-maintained, and a great atmosphere! Just across the border, yet it feels like a whole other world. ❤️

    We had a nice, big spot with a beautiful, wide-open view, right near the restroom building.
    Everything looks neat and tidy. No complaints about the campground.
    We were only able to go cycling for one day, though, because I fell on the second day while walking to the restroom building—I tripped over some protruding stones—and even fewer people were complaining about it, so we didn’t see much of the surrounding area.Which was a real shame. So we had to stay at the campground a lot. We were here from June 9 to June 24, 2026

    Wij hadden een mooie grote plek .mooi ruim uitzicht.vlak bij het toilet gebouw.
    Ziet er allemaal netjes uit.niets op de camping aan te merken.
    Alleen wij hebben 1 dag kunnen fietsen.omdat ik de 2e dag viel toen ik naar het toilet gebouw liep .over stenen die omhoog kwamen .en nog mindere mensen er over klaagden.dus niet veel van de omgeving gezien.wat heel jammer was.dus veel op de camping moesten blijven.wij waren hier van 9 juni tot 24 juni 2026

    Nice campground, plenty of space for students, and the go-karts are a great way to get around quickly. I had lost my sweater, but they found it for me and set it aside. Thank you so much for your hospitality!
