Summary created out of 261 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.

    A nice, clean campground with good restroom facilities and a beautiful (indoor) swimming pool. Lovely sites with plenty of privacy. We also stayed at De Pampel for short periods around 1996 and 2008 and were very satisfied.

    Accommodations: plenty of space for two adults; all necessary household
    items were provided. The beds (personal opinion) could be a bit higher, and the mattresses a bit firmer. We had a wonderful time. We’ll definitely be back!

    Today I took a quick walk around De Pampel. What a lovely, wonderful campground.
    Nice spots in the woods and even spots with private restrooms.
    We were greeted warmly.
    Luckily, we managed to grab an ice cream at 4:28 p.m.—everything was closed from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. due to a break.
    I saw the pool; it looked nice, though a bit smaller than expected.
    All in all, a great campground for a week of camping with young children.

    Vandaag even een rondje gelopen over de pampel. Wat een leuke heerlijke camping.
    Leuke bosplekjes en zelfs plekken met privé sanitair.
    We werden vriendelijk ontvangen.
    Gelukkig om 1628 nog even een ijsje gehaald van van 1630 tot 1700 was alles even dicht ivm pauze.
    Zwembad gezien en zag er goed uit wel wat kleiner dan verwacht.
    Al met al leuke camping voor een weekje kamperen met jongeren kinderen.
