Summary created out of 220 reviews

De Pampel is a family campsite in the heart of the Veluwe, valued for its beautiful forested location and excellent facilities for children. Guests praise the enthusiastic animation team, the many playgrounds scattered across the site, and the swimming pool with slide. Staff are often experienced as friendly and helpful, and the pitches are spacious and varied (sun/shade). At the same time, there are significant complaints about the strict wristband policy, which many find intimidating and unfriendly. Sanitary facilities receive mixed reviews: some find them clean and well-maintained, others complain about inadequate cleaning, musty smells, and insufficient capacity. The pool water is considered too cold by many guests, and opening hours of the restaurant and shop are limited. The balance between a beautiful natural location and areas for improvement in hospitality and comfort defines the experience.

    We were pleasantly surprised by a wonderful week at the Pampel—from check-in to check-out and everything in between. Friendliness is very important here; you feel incredibly welcome!
    The park is well-organized, well-maintained, and attractively decorated. The restrooms are thoroughly cleaned several times a day—no complaints there. Our kids (ages 6, 8, and 11) made friends right away and had a great time; they really enjoyed the pool, too. The entertainment team is truly top-notch! Roan and Jordy (no idea if those are your real names)—what enthusiasm! Kudos—you don’t see that very often. Fresh, high-quality pastries are available every morning. Nice surroundings; the ice cream from Co is definitely worth a try. There’s also a gnome trail you can walk from the campground—our 7-year-old son really enjoyed that! We’ll definitely be coming back here.

    Verrast door een super fijne week op de Pampel. Van inchecken tot uitchecken en alles er tussenin. Vriendelijkheid is hier erg belangrijk, je voelt je ontzettend welkom!
    Het park is overzichtelijk, goed onderhouden en sfeervol ingericht. Sanitair wordt meerdere keren per dag goed schoongemaakt, geen klachten over. Onze kinderen (6, 8 en 11) hadden al snel vriendinnetjes en vermaakten zich uitstekend, ook het zwembad vonden ze erg leuk. Het animatieteam is echt top! Roan en Jordy (geen idee of dit jullie echte namen zijn), wat een enthousiasme, complimenten zo zie je het niet vaak. Elke ochtend verse broodjes verkrijgbaar van goede kwaliteit. Leuke omgeving, ijs van co is zeker de moeite waard. Ook een kabouterpad vanaf de camping te lopen, dit vond onze zoon van 7 nog erg leuk! Wij komen hier zeker nog eens terug.
