Summary created out of 21 reviews
Guests particularly appreciate the friendly and helpful staff and the well-maintained appearance of the park. The sanitary facilities are regularly mentioned as excellent and always clean. The brasserie offers a good selection of dishes, although opening times are limited to weekends. Some guests find the camper pitches somewhat tight and note that green maintenance could use attention here and there.

Great—everything was top-notch from the moment we arrived until the very end... Everything went smoothly, even though we arrived on short notice. We were served wonderfully, etc...The food at the restaurant tastes great, too—except, unfortunately, for the Wiener schnitzel, which tastes like something I’ve never tasted before... The restrooms are well-equipped with clean individual showers, washing machines, and even a quick dishwasher that finishes in 5 minutes... Everything was great

The RV sites (for travelers passing through) are a bit on the small side.
But the staff was very friendly and helpful.this is a translation, click here for the original
Camperplaatsen (voor doorreis) zijn wat aan de krappe kant.
Maar personeel was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. -
