    A very nice campground. It has just the right balance of year-round sites and open spaces available for vacation homes. When the weather is nice, there are plenty of outdoor play options for kids. I didn’t notice any indoor facilities, but I was only there for one day. I was very impressed by the friendly staff and the campers, who always made an … effort to communicate with us “language-shy” :-) Germans in our own language, even though it should really be the other way around. I know a little Dutch and am always trying to improve my skills, and I’ve been met with a great deal of patience and understanding. I highly recommend this campground. I can’t comment on the restroom facilities since I didn’t see them. But since the entire campground was very clean, I assume everything else is just as clean and tidy.

    Sehr schöner Campingplatz. Genau das richtige Gleichgewicht an Jahresplätzen und noch freien Flächen für die Ferienhäuser. Für Kinder gibt es bei schönem Wetter genügend Qutdoor Spielmöglichkeiten. Indoor ist mir jetzt nicht aufgefallen, aber ich war auch nur einen Tag dort. Sehr positiv aufgefallen sind mir die netten Mitarbeiter und auch die Camper, die stets bemüht sind mit uns "sprachfaulen":-) Deutschen auch in unserer Landessprache zu kommunizieren, obwohl es eher anders herum seien sollte. Ich kann etwas Niederländisch und bin stets bemüht es zu verbessern und habe sehr viel Geduld und Verständnis dafür erfahren. Ich kann den Campingplatz sehr empfehlen. Zu den sanitären Anlagen kann ich nichts sagen, da ich sie nicht gesehen habe. Aber da der ganze Campingplatz sehr sauber war, denke ich das auch alles andere genauso sauber und ordentlich ist.

    A very nice, quiet, and clean campground with friendly staff and a small swimming lake with a slide and other amenities. It’s in a great location for bike rides. The Oldambtmeer, with the Pieter Smitbrug, isn’t far away and is definitely worth a visit. We’ll definitely be back.

    Ein sehr schöner, ruhiger und sauberer Campingplatz mit freundlichem Personal und kleinem Badesee mit Rutsche etc. Sehr gut gelegen für Fahrradtouren. Das Oldambtmeer mit der Pieter Smitbrug ist nicht weit entfernt und auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful campground with a perfect location right by the swimming pond!

    We had a really great time at Camping de Bouwte in Midwolda. The entire site was very well-maintained and clean, and the staff were consistently extremely friendly and helpful. 😊

    We’d especially like to give a shout-out to the owner. Whenever an issue … or minor concern came up, she was always very friendly, easygoing, and, above all, solution-oriented. You always felt that your concerns were taken seriously and that a good solution would be found quickly together. 👍

    The Wi-Fi also worked flawlessly, which is a real blessing, especially for freelancers. <3

    But a very special highlight for us was the swimming pond. My son had an incredible amount of fun there and was able to spend many wonderful hours in and around the water. 🏊‍♂️☀️

    The chalet we rented was right next to this swimming pond—the location couldn’t have been better for us. From the small terrace, you could practically walk right into the water. This proximity made our stay even more special. ❤️

    We highly recommend the campground and will definitely be back! Thank you so much for the wonderful time! 🌿☀️🏕️

    Warm regards from Lünen <3

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wunderschöner Campingplatz mit perfekter Lage am Badeteich!

    Wir hatten eine wirklich tolle Zeit auf dem Campingplatz de Bouwte in Midwolda. Der gesamte Platz war sehr gepflegt und sauber, und die Mitarbeiter waren durchweg ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit. 😊

    Besonders positiv möchten wir die Betreiberin hervorheben. Wenn einmal ein Anliegen oder kleines Thema aufkam, war sie immer sehr freundlich, unkompliziert und vor allem lösungsorientiert. Man hatte jederzeit das Gefühl, dass man mit seinen Anliegen ernst genommen wird und gemeinsam schnell eine gute Lösung gefunden wird. 👍

    Das Wlan lief auch störungsfrei, was gerade für Selbstständige ein Seegen ist. <3

    Ein ganz besonderes Highlight für uns war aber der Badeteich. Mein Sohn hatte dort unglaublich viel Spaß und konnte viele tolle Stunden im und am Wasser verbringen. 🏊‍♂️☀️

    Unser gemietetes Chalet lag direkt an diesem Badeteich – besser hätte die Lage für uns kaum sein können. Von der kleinen Terrasse aus konnte man quasi direkt ins Wasser gehen. Diese Nähe hat unseren Aufenthalt noch einmal ganz besonders gemacht. ❤️

    Wir können den Campingplatz wärmstens empfehlen und werden ganz bestimmt wiederkommen! Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit! 🌿☀️🏕️

    Liebe Grüße aus Lünen <3
