    Very nice campsite for families with small children. Lots of activities by children and for children. Therefore a bit noisy. The staff is super nice. However, the food in the restaurant is not good.

    Super clean, except for a small trash can that was not emptied. Facilities were very good, perhaps new coffee machines could be provided.

    Last Whitsun weekend we booked a last minute trip to this campground as there was virtually nothing left and yet the weather was beautiful. We went here with not too many expectations but seriously what a super nice and neat campsite and we still do not understand why it was not fully booked. Plumbing super neat, the place on the field beautiful and super nicely kept, we were on the field the elder, super neat and tightly landscaped. all in all we will definitely come back here, for us it was only 20 min drive but it really feels like vacation, small but nice as they sometimes say. You see the owners flying everywhere to make everyone happy and so everything runs smoothly, take my hat off to them, keep up the good work guys and as I said we will definitely come again.

    Afgelopen pinksterweekend een last last last minute geboekt naar deze camping aangezien er nagenoeg niets meer te krijgen was en het toch prachtig weer werd. We gingen hier naartoe met niet al te veel verwachtingen maar serieus wat een super leuke en nette camping en we snappen nog steeds niet dat deze niet was volgeboekt. Sanitair super netjes, de plek op het veldje prachtig en super mooi bijgehouden, we zaten op het veldje de vlier, super netjes en strak aangelegd. al met al gaan wij hier zeker terug komen, voor ons was het maar 20 min rijden maar het voelt echt als vakantie, klein maar fijn zoals ze wel eens zeggen. Je ziet de eigenaren overal heen er weer vliegen om het iedereen naar de zin te maken en zodat alles soepel verloop, neem m’n petje er voor af, ga zo door jongens en zoals ik al zei we komen zeker weer.
