    We had a lovely, sunny company party last week. We went on a boat ride with a scavenger hunt or a Robinson Crusoe-style adventure. And afterward, we had a super delicious BBQ! We’ll definitely be back. The staff was friendly, and above all, thank you so much!

    We stayed at the off-grid RV site, which had a lovely view of the water. We slept soundly, lulled by the sounds of nature and the light of the full moon. From the RV site, it’s just a short walk to the small beach and the swimming pond. It’s a great spot for stand-up paddleboarding and enjoying all the different birds and ducks. There’s also a fun wooden play ship. You can use the restrooms, and with a token, you can take a shower too. Not the best showers, but for a camper, any shower is a luxury, haha.

    Wij stonden op de off-grid camperplek, heerlijk met uitzicht op het water. Rustig geslapen, met de geluiden van de natuur en het licht van de volle maan. Vanaf de camperplek loop je zo naar het strandje en de zwemplas. Je kunt er heerlijk suppen en genieten van alle verschillende vogels en eenden. Er is ook een leuk houten speelschip. Je kunt gebruikmaken van de toiletten en met een muntje kun je ook douchen. Niet de beste douches, maar voor een camperaar is iedere douche luxe haha.
